Hello and welcome to the Week 12 edition of the Historical NFL Matchups episode here on the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast were we talk about the best of sports from back in the day. in this edition we will discuss four games that are on this weeks NFL schedule that are rematches of famous games from the NFL's past. One of the games that we are talking about is one from the1998 playoffs that established a new superstar wide receiver that was the heir apparent to the greatest receiver of all time and submitted a fitting sequel to one of the greatest moments in not only the history of his team but the entire league itself. Meanwhile with thanksgiving next week, it is appropriate to celebrate one of the most memorable games ever to take place on Turkey Day. On Thanksgiving Day 1974, a superstar quarterback goes down with a concussion and replacing him is a little known rookie signal caller that leads a miracle comeback against one of the NFL's elite teams at the time.Another game that we will highlight we’ll have to go back to the early 1960s that most NFL analysts at the time considered a major upset. In this memorable game this franchise that would later become one of the most consistent winners in the National Football League, would accomplish something that wouldn’t be done again in the NFL for another 41 years. And finally we go from the sublime to the ridiculous. In perhaps the strangest moment in the 1982 regular season that in itself was strange, a game came down to not a key play or player or a key play call or even a crucial penalty. In this game between two long time bitter divisional rivals, it came down to of all things, a convicted felon and a John Deere Tracker.
