Welcome back to the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast were we bring you the best of sports from back in the day. We are heading into week 9 of the NFL regular season and this week we will look back at three games that are rematches from famous games from the NFL's glorious past. The first game is the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons. In the 1980 divisional playoffs, the Falcons were playing Cowboys in their first ever home playoff game. this epic game became known as the "Duel in Dixie". the other two games were regular season games that defied both defenses and explanation as both were high scoring affairs. The first was in 1969 as a former Canadian Football League star quarterback became a member of the exclusive "seven touchdowns in a game" club, joining the likes of George Blanda and Sid Luckman. The second high scoring game that we are highlighting this episode took place three seasons earlier between long time rivals the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants. Taking place at then DC Stadium, New York and Washington face off in the highest scoring game in NFL history. That is what is on tap here on this Historically Speaking Sports Historical NFL matchup episode here on the Sports History Network.
