In the week six edition of the Historical Speaking Sports Historical Matchups episode we will take a look at three games that are on the docket for this weekends NFL action that are rematches of memorable games from years past.
One of them is a playoff game from the early 1990’s that featured possibly the most memorable touchdown run in this Hall of Fame running back's career and was his team's first postseason win in over 30 years.
We will also talk about another playoff game, this one from the 1970’s that saw this team, led by a popular head coach finally lead his team to a Super Bowl after several disappointing finishes.
The third game is perhaps one of the most famous regular season games ever.
To give you an idea how famous this game was, take this into account, the coach of the losing team stated afterwards, "What a nightmare, it was the worst experience of my coaching career. We’re all ashamed for our people, for our fans and for our organization."
The loss was so catastrophic for this Hall of Fame coach, he was fired the next week and never coached again.
