There's nothing a Chicago Bears fan grieves more than losing to the Green Bay Packers, and it gets worse when his star player and biggest arch-nemesis rubs it in his face. In the NFL's 100-plus years, no two teams have faced each other more than the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, and it is therefore considered the most storied program rivalry in League history. Here, the NFL's oldest rivalry between the Packers and the Bears. Countless signature moments under the Bears Packers umbrella, the Green Bay Packers will travel to the Super Bowl where all fans will have that incredible game between their favorite and their favorite foe diving for the pylon touchdown, however, what we are going to reveal are the signs along the path of rivalry. that specifically fanned the flames between the fans, their players and even their coaches and trainers are the basis of the Chicago Green Bay conflict that the Packers and Bears have been pitting against each other since 1921.

This is our first look at the divisional aspect of this history. The league was known as apfa at the time the Bears had been in the league from the beginning, starting as Decatur Staley, then Chicago Staley and finally the Chicago Bears. Green Bay was one of 10 new teams to join the league in its second season. 21 teams grouped together, divisions had not yet been formed, it is the oldest rivalry with the most history in sports, there is no other rivalry, there is no professional football if you don't have the Packers and the Bears, the Bears won the first meeting between the two and it was completed. with an alleged cheap shot thrown by Chicago's John Tarzan, Taylor Green Bay's Howard Buck, the catcher, but the true roots of the rivalry arose from the original founders, the Packers, Curly Lambeau, the Bears, George Halas, both were also player coaches.

Those early years, so they were literally hitting each other on the field, which made it even easier for those two men to take it personally in every way, it's no surprise that in 1924 the league saw its first player ejections at a Bears Packers game. You're not playing well seriously, they're going to give you a belt at some point, you know what I mean, some will actually let you have it. The two teams began a simultaneous period of dominance from 1929 to 1944, the Bears or the Packers. won the NFL championship or were in the title game, except for the 1935 season and in 1941 they met in the playoffs for the first time, the Bears won 33-14 and geography provided more fuel to the fire that was established the basis of rivalries.

Alice would trade one rival head coach for another when Vince Lombardi arrived his arrival only raised tensions five minutes to the game here comes a knock on the door and it's Papa Bear he says I like talking to coach Lombardi it's very urgent Vince said alone I want you to know that you better have your team ready because we are going to kick your ass. That's where the refrigerator game was born in 1985. Bears head coach Mike Ditka waits until he takes on the Packers with the leadership of Unleash the Beast and this crowd loves it. The Pack didn't like that move much when the Bears show up in Green Bay a few weeks later, find horse manure in their locker room, open my locker and there's a big bag of horse manure in there and, uh, a nice welcome in the locker room so early in the morning smelling you know, you know what the hell and I showed the team I had the whole locker room comfortable and I said this is what they think of us and we went out and we kicked their ass again Mark Lee and Ken Stills end up getting sent off ​​of that game for making illegal throws 22 defensive player is this wow Jim McMahon gives the finger to Green Bay head coach Forrest Greg after throwing a touchdown pass to Perry, the Bears would win the Super Bowl that year Also, in 1986, Charles Martin of Green Bay goes out to face the Bears with a towel with some numbers written in black so that everyone can see that it was a list of goals and ends up slamming it into the ground in one of the dirtiest hits of the game. history. history of the league and that caused them to miss the rest of the year Chicago could not defend their Super Bowl title another critical situation here this game is going to get out of control if the referees do not take a firm charge because the Bears are very angry about That 1989 instant replay of the game with asterisks, Green Bay's Don Mikowski throws a late touchdown pass that ends up in the hands of the replay official, ruled it a TD that the Packers won.

Ditka was so upset by the decision that they added an asterisk to the game. notation in your media guide Next season's touchdown stoppage of the sharp-shooting Bukowski was on the line of scrimmage when he let him go, they're reviewing the tape right now and you can take a look for yourself. Alana scrimmage was the 14 yard line for Packers and Bears fans. they have only met twice in the playoffs 2010 conference championship game Green Bay beats Chicago 21-14 Jay Cutler injured Caleb Haney entered cheesehead celebrated a trip to the Super Bowl at the hands of the team they love to hate intercepted by Shield it Es Green Bay to Super Bowl 45.

In 2013, Shea McClellan breaks Aaron Rodgers' collarbone in this catch. McQuillen takes him down. He stayed down there for a second at the end of the play. It is one of the few times Rogers has been arrested. by the Bears, leading to his ownership declaration in 2021. he has time for the 10th for the best touchdown oh my goodness, the Detroit Lions joined the NFL in 1930 when the Portsmith Spartans still beat division 11 teams and the first year the Lions Bears and the Packers were all together The Packers Lions don't have the same type of history as the Packers Bears, but they do have the distinction of being the longest continuous rivalry in the NFL.

The Detroit Lions stopped playing us with a TV, but I heard everyone already picked the Packers. about us, stop playing with us, look in 1982, both Packers Bears games were canceled due to the strike. Green Bay and Detroit have played each other every year since 1932, and most polls show that Lions fans dislike Green Bay more than any of their division foes. and the Packers have won incredible Detroit and Green Bay have met twice in the playoffs The Packers beat the Lions Back in the wild card round of the '93 and '94 seasons 40 yards and Sterling Sharp's third touchdown of the game Bears Lions ever They have played playoff football yet but both teams are responsible for accelerating the inevitable playoff format that would make the game so exciting. 1932 Detroit and Chicago finished the year tied, the champion at the time was crowned based on winning percentage at the end of the regular season, so they met in the first playoff game of any kind, a tiebreaker matchup to determine the league champion.

The Bears won the game, but not without some controversy, the game was tied 0-0 in the fourth quarter, on fourth down, they took a handoff, charged at the line of scrimmage, and shot. he got up and threw a jump pass into the end zone across Red Grange for a touchdown. Well, at that time the rule was that you couldn't throw a forward pass unless you were five yards behind the line of scrimmage. Nagersky was clearly less than five yards behind the line of scrimmage when he threw the pass but the referees didn't call it Chicago had made it official the Bears were the world champions in the offseason, the owners met and said this was a very good way to determine our champion. should split the league into two divisions 1932 was the year the NFL added the Boston Braves now the Washington Commanders, which marked the beginning of the rivalry between Washington and New York.

It doesn't always get the same press as the other NFC East pairings, but they technically have the longest rivalry in the NFC East Beckham has worked Josh Norman today Washington beat the Giants in their first meeting 14-6, but the fire didn't start really until a few years later, in the last game of the 1937 regular season, the winner would take East Washington. Owner George Preston Marshall transported 12,000 fans and a 150-piece marching band to the game in New York and paraded them through the city to the Polo Grounds, the band and their fans singing at the top of their lungs. his new fight song HTTR throughout the How the ploy worked well Washington defeated the Giants 49-14 and then won the first championship playoff game between the two. 1943 Washington beat the Hall of Fame quarterback in Washington 28-0.

Icon Sammy Baugh retired in the early '50s, so things between the Redskins and Giants cooled down and then came 1966, spilling the beans to get angry, we'll call it, the Redskins beat the Giants in the highest-scoring game in In NFL history, the scoreboard flashed and changed like a pinball machine gone crazy, but it was the last three points scored that counted. fuel to the rivalry fire Sam Huff, a Hall of Fame linebacker, spent most of his career in New York, but left on bad terms, the linebacker ended up in Washington, the Redskins were winning that 1966 contest 69-41 with a few seconds left, but they were elected to attack a field goal.

Washington's Otto Graham said he was just trying to give his kicker some additional details, but the conversation afterward was that Huff convinced Graham to do it. out of spite, it was fun for everyone except the New York Giants on a day when heaven reigned. In American football, the intensity of the rivalry really increased in the 1980s. Both teams emerged as NFL elites during the decade. They will do so from 1982 to 1991. The two clubs won five Super Bowls between them and reached six in total. The Giants even demanded a fight song. Revenge Along 1985 was the year of what became known as the Joe Theismann game.

Washington fans believed they could have increased their Super Bowl total if Theisman had been able to avoid one of the most infamous sacks in NFL history. I don't think Lawrence Taylor would have reacted that way, but within five minutes Washington replaced Theisman with Jay Schrader and he led them back to the 1986 NFC Conference Championship game, where the Giants were awaiting the second time they met in the playoffs. New York wins 17-0 on their way to a Super Bowl victory biggest trade stop in 2009, the year of the fisticuffs, the tension between the two reaches a breaking point not just once, watch how these guys square off , this looks like a hockey game for a second as they strike a fighting pose to chase each other, but twice a fight broke out in Washington's two games that year when those two fell to the ground.

Odell Beckham Jr and Josh Norman had their share of fights when Norman was a panther today and they don't. make fun of it, so when he joined Washington he injected renewed distaste between the teams Meanwhile, on the touchdown run, watch this between Norman and Beckham, the first significant moment in Giants Commanders, the winner of the season-ending game 2022 would be positioned to make the playoffs in Washington. He recovers late to have a chance at overtime or so they thought. Legal formation offense number 17. He wasn't lined up at the line of scrimmage, you see, he looked at Carl Johnson, on that side, the linesman and the final play of the game did little to dispel the belief in Washington that the men G receive preferential treatment.

Resentment, a key ingredient of the rivalry, Washington and New York would welcome the third member of their eventual NFC East quartet in 1933, when the Philadelphia Eagles were established. Also the year the NFL first created two divisions, this would guarantee a championship game. Washington, New York, Philadelphia were all together for the first time, all three teams together in the east, Detroit, Chicago and Green Bay stayed together in the west and look at the Eagles. and the Steelers started out as division rivals and remained that way for decades Philadelphia and Pittsburgh even met in the playoffs in 1947. The Eagles shut out the Steelers 21-0 Eagles and Steelers fans have never hated each other despite that both represent Pennsylvania more. a significant rivalry born that year New York Philadelphia the turnpike fight no one else NFL player except the Eagles in the Giants I have neverSeen a hopeful city or team about 90 miles away on the map These teams hate each other The fans hate each other The Giants Eagles games are the epitome of East Coast rivalries, right? es, the first matchup between the two held at the Polo Grounds was also the first regular season game played by the Eagles and showed 56-0 a difficult path for a rivalry. get out the door Roth, the best way to describe the play when these two meet, they didn't like the game day you had for the Giants and they for us was a beautiful thing.

I love them and no play was as tough as the hit play that started everything between these two Chuck Bednarick from Philadelphia Frank Gifford from New York if you're not familiar with the play it's one of the most iconic in NFL history oh, You're the guy Brandon Frank ever is true, you know 1960 first place on the line in the waning moments of the game sends the ball flying in the second quarter with a specific Frank Gifford finish. Charlie hit Gifford so hard that the concussion not only kept him out of the game it knocked him out for the rest of that season and the one after that and I said these exact words, this damn game is over, how fans have labeled games and The plays between these two teams have kept the contempt alive and well, there are some peppers burning there on the field and it is a very frustrated path of eagles. 1978 The Giants got up late, all they had to do was kneel, but instead they ran and coughed up the ball.

I don't think so. The Eagles pick it up and Hermann Edwards runs it for a touchdown. Philly loyalists always labeled him the Miracle at The Meadowlands, the big blue faithful call him the fumble. Can you guide us down that path? No, I have no interest in walking you through that play. I can think of many other miracles that surpass that, why they were trying to make a transfer. I don't know 1981, the first playoff game between the two foreign teams from New York, taking that contest to the end 27-21, the rivalries then skyrocketed. the arm 1986 when his friend Ryan took over for Philadelphia head coach Bill Parcells Manning, that place in New York that was two very big egos situated close together your personality you have the game that stood out during his career appeared in the programmers of the 1988 league on the dot by pitting them against each other on the 10th anniversary of the Miracle at The Meadowlands and running for a touchdown, the Eagles win the Miracle at the Meadowlands 10 years later, the two would not meet again in the playoffs until 2000 , Giants Ron Dixon ran back the kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown and en route to a 20-10 New York victory seven nothing Giants 2006 Philadelphia won 23-20 in the NFC Wild Card David Akers with a goal from 38-yard field with no time for the Eagles I beat the Giants, but then came the 2008 divisional round clash between the two, McNabb's phone incident to play them in the playoffs, where all the chips really are.

He is more than a rival. I love being here at Giant Stadium. The Eagles won 23-11 and with the game in hand, quarterback Donovan McNabb steps out of bounds on the giant sideline, celebrates the imminent victory by answering a phone call, what does the flag say? Donovan McNabb picks up the phone, you know, sometimes I don't know what's going on with that. boy head, you know, I said hello hello hello and then posted the next chapter of his story, another miracle that Giants fans would like to forget. Desean calls this play and Eagles fans refer to it as the Miracle at The Meadowlands 2.

Just kidding, it's amazing, the last piece of the Giants Eagles Stick it to you puzzle, Week 17 of 2020. Not even It involved them playing the last games of the year against each other. The Giants had won their last game good enough to win this game and give it to the Giants. and their fans hope that it only took the Eagles to beat Washington, it looked like they would do it too, but then as the fourth quarter began, Eagles head coach Doug Peterson pulls his starting quarterback. New York, they say, why are they experimenting in our time? Peterson was telling us yesterday, hey, I want to include it in the game and I said if the game is very close, would you include it at the end of the game?

We didn't really get an answer, but here's your answer, in my opinion. Rivalries will grow in the NFC East. Did past history have anything to do with Peterson's decision? Peterson was an Eagles quarterback and was involved in one of the Eagles Giants' most famous plays in 1999. His pass went wide and he came back to score Michael's game-winning goal. Strahan in overtime 2022 saw the green and blue attack in the divisional round. Jalen hurts and Company dominated the G-Man 38-7. Philadelphia Washington may not get the same attention as the Eagles Giants or any of the three in Dallas, but it has it all. the necessary components of a historic rivalry this is always an intense rivalry between these two clubs first meeting between the two 1934 a 6-0 victory for Washington at Fenway Park the Redskins would finish 15 2-1 in the first 18 games of the series played them twice a year if you knew a loss was coming Philly wants players to simply destroy the other team because of Washington's early dominance.

It took a while for things to really heat up between the two teams, then along came the 1960s and the game Sunny's Revenge. 1964 Philadelphia decides to trade quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, who made the Washington Hall of Fame of all teams. Now it was personal. The first time Sunny faced his old team. 385 yards. Five touchdowns. Sonny Jurgensen pitches the wins for him. The battle of the quarterbacks. Washington wins the war 35-20, the Eagles moved to the vet, and things would escalate even more. Few stadiums had a more notorious reputation in 1983. Washington superfan Zima Williams, known as Chief Zee, shows up to watch his beloved club defeat the Eagles by 10 points.

Of course, he let the Eagles fans hear him after the game and attack him and he was in a wheelchair for a year. His friend Ryan arrives and with him the set of body bags. 1990 Ryan tells reporters before the game that the Eagles would beat up Washington so badly that they would have to be carried away in body bags Philadelphia wins and knocks out nine Washington players in the process. It was like a war zone that night. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Stanley got hurt. Briggs came out with whiskey. He came out. Humphreys is.

It's over, it's a mess right now, there's a sequel to this story. The two would meet in the playoffs that same year. Call it revenge of the body bag. Washington and Philadelphia met in the playoffs. Weeks later, the only time the two have met in the postseason. Faithful to HTTR. They were beside themselves as their team would take the ultimate revenge in Washington, it was the motivational tool for the playoffs and when it mattered, we got crushed so badly by the body bags, which made it even sweeter that the loss led to Ryan being fired. expelled from Philadelphia, he was fired.

Shortly after, when he finished that game, that was the last game his friend Ryan coached as head coach of the Eagles. Fast forward to next season. Ryan might be gone, but the Eagles players' distaste for the Washington players wasn't the flattened face of him now, if there ever was a reason. to take a look at that penalty mask 2010 now the rivalry continued to evolve as the Eagles sent another fourth starter back to Washington Donovan McNabb returned to Philadelphia and beat the Eagles even if he didn't play Grace Eagles got their revenge though weeks later destroying McNabb 59-28 in what is known as the Monday Night Massacre the Eagles have gained no more yards traded players have played a central role in the rivalry DeSean Jackson swapping a green jersey for a red one fueled the fire on his return to the City of Brotherly Love after breaking free for one of his signature touchdowns and then proceeded to celebrate using a signature Philly celebration, then that eagle guy with tensions High Nick Foles throws an interception and then Chris Baker tackles him and a fight breaks out, so this is the closest thing to being out of control I've seen this year: #92 has been disqualified from the game and #71 is this qualified colt who came back in that game and led Philly to a crazy 37-win. 3. 4. great pass by Nick Foles 1937 The Cleveland Rams joined the league and were placed in the west with the Chicago Cardinals, meaning there were two current NFC West teams, both together for the first time, both playing in the Midwest , both made their home in St.

Louis, but no. At the same time, in the 1970s, the dispute began to turn ugly. I mean, if there was any question about who was going to win, would I dress like that? If I had any doubts about who was going to win, the faces of Conrad Dobler and Merlin Olson. Of that rivalry, Dobler was one of the meanest offensive linemen in the game, some say he's the dirtiest. Olsen was one of the greatest defensive linemen to ever play the game and is known as one of the game's great gentlemen. In fact, we have managed to maintain a very solid relationship and friendship on and off the field.

LA and St. Louis met in the divisional round of 1975, the Rams winning 35-23, and in 2021 the Rams beat the Cardinals in the Wild Card round. to the Super Bowl the next great rivalry in the NFL and oldest in the AFC emerged in 1950 the league renamed the East West divisions to National American very baseball of them, the San Francisco 49ers, the first iteration of the Baltimore Colts and the Cleveland Browns all joined the league that year, San Francisco moved into the National division, so now we had the 49ers and Rams, although the Cardinals were moved to the American League side as were the Browns and so on. started the oldest rivalry in the AFC Cleveland Pittsburgh, the Turnpike Rivalry or Turnpike War, as it is known because most races between the two cities take place on the turnpikes, the first meeting between the two, a 30-17 Browns victory, back-to-back, and he throws one in the left flat to Marion Motley and Hawking's defenseman is by the force of a steam engine as he hits. about the Steelers like 10 pins in a bowling alley Cleveland dominated the Steelers early on they won the first eight meetings between the two Pittsburgh finally got into the win column in 1954. interceptions were a big factor and here's one that became a touchdown, the run stole a big pass and ran 84 yards, the Browns dominated the first two decades of the matchup.

Pittsburgh turned the tables in the '70s and owned the Browns for the most part since Pittsburgh's five touchdowns that opened the game. In the middle, a big guy walked through the hole where the first serious spark took place in the timeline. Some argue that it was in 1976, Bradshaw the turkey punched Joe the Jones. The body hit Terry Bradshaw knocked him out of the game and almost cost him his career They took me off the field on the backboard I didn't have one so they removed a door from a locker room and put me on top of that door, tied me up, took me to the airport , they put me on top of the seats on the plane flew to Pittsburgh, then they did an x-ray and I had no sensation for two days and on the third day the sensation started from my toes and went up to Chuck Knoll, of course , was Pittsburgh's head coach during their Knoll Dynasty.

Cleveland native and Browns linebacker Bill Cower, also the Steelers' Super Bowl-winning head coach, also played linebacker for Cleveland. I think the most important thing for me going out now is just to play good solid fundamental football and be consistent and I think I'm capable of doing that and I'm looking forward to giving it my best shot even though the Browns have struggled against the Steelers in the last few decades, are responsible for the Steelers' biggest loss in franchise history. 1989, they defeated them. 51-0 I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a nightmare or something. I had to pinch myself to really know if this was actually real.

The scoreboard with that score alone was a disaster. It was a terrible feeling. The first playoff battle between the pair in the 1994 divisional round, Pittsburgh dominated 29-9, the Brown Steelers nearly ended prematurely. Cleveland owner Art Modell moved the team to Baltimore in the '90s. One of the most telling moments in Steelers history. Brown. The Monday Night Game in 1995 was played in Pittsburgh. Fans throughout the stadium wore orange armbands as a tribute to the closing of the Browns franchise. If you can imagine, there really is empathy here in Pittsburgh for what happened to the city of Cleveland that set up the rivalry's next big moment: the return of the Browns in 1999.

They tied Pittsburgh in the first game, who proceeded to shame them in theirreturned home 43-0, so the rivalry was renewed with a whimper and not a bang as the Steelers defeated the Cleveland Browns 43 to nothing to be fair when they met. Again later that year, the Browns scored a dramatic game-winning field goal from 40 yards out. Cleveland on the road couldn't have been a sweeter victory. 2002 The Browns and the Steelers met in the wild card Cleveland had him dead on right-handers. 17 in the third quarter lost the game in the final minute, everyone came up short, it didn't allow Cleveland to get out of bounds fast enough.

Moving on to 2004, now Brown's pass to a certain QB who was born in Ohio, they used his sixth instead. draft Kellen Winslow Jr, Steelers then draft Ben Roethlisberger a few picks later Big Ben, Pittsburgh's most dominant quarterback against the Browns, finished with a 25-3-1 record against them in his playoffs. career included Roethlisberger to throw it again looking for a deep throw, has brown on the breakup touchdown Pittsburgh Ben Roethlisberger, the ruthless Burger, only lost once to Cleveland at home in his entire career, his last victory at Heinz Field against the Browns , but what is the field?

What's the name of this place? One of Roethlisberger's teammates has done as much as anyone to keep the fire burning between them, let's just say James Harrison probably won't get many free rounds when he's in Ohio, there was a 2005 game that a Browns fan walked onto the field where he ended up meeting Harrison. It was like, huh, so he does it with fans too, not just opposing quarterbacks, that's a different type of guy. Harrison was also good at hitting Browns players in 2010, he took two different players out of the game who weren't flagged for either hit, but he was eventually fined.

Oh my God, Harrison is lying in the woods again Harrison claims his head coach Mike Tomlin gave him an envelope after the contents of the game were never revealed. Harrison would add to his legacy as Cleveland's most hated player the following year and Colt McCoy, his target in a 2011 game, and there is However, nothing tops Garrett Mason Rudolph's 2019 mile game for brutality and turmoil. between the two teams and their players and their fans rip off Rudolph's helmet and finally swing him and hit him in the head. and then okanjobi shows up and hits Rudolph from behind Beyond one, oh god, that's one of the worst things I've ever seen on a professional sports field, things didn't let up after that in 2020, Steelers wide receiver , Juju Smith Schuster, was asked about the rivalry before their playoff game.

He has to have a couple of good players on his team, but at the end of the day, the bronze is the Browns, the Browns are the Browns and the wink, that was the exact type of bulletin board. material that Cleveland needed, they exacted the best kind of revenge they could have hoped for in Cleveland. I literally can't imagine they're probably on the streets, they're probably on top of their cars. They're probably honking this is a moment for the Cleveland Browns the other rivalry was formed in 1950 LA versus the Bay Area Northern California versus Southern California their fans They certainly never cared about each other in large part because both teams were very good in the '70s.

From '70 to '79, one of them won their division every year in Week 11, the Rams traveled to San Francisco for what promised. be the showdown for the NFC Western title, the first north-south playoff tournament. 1989 conference championship game, classic Joe Montana outing, 49ers win 30-3 San Francisco 49ers go to their second consecutive Super Bowl. San Francisco has become one of the nastiest modern rivalries. Big matchup of 2021 at the end of the year with a ton on the line for both teams, game was at Sofi in Los Angeles more or less. In this case, on the north end, watch as Stafford goes deep and if he holds up and it looks like he will, the 49ers won and are in the playoffs.

He lost it that game, but when the two met again in the playoffs a few weeks later, it was a push to try to keep 49ers fans from buying tickets, in the end it felt more like a Ram's house, which helped to propel them to the Super Bowl. Garoppolo under pressure intercepted by the Rams and they may reach the Super Bowl in that foreign national and American for East West, the league changed names in 1953, did not move any teams, although the New York Yankees were no longer a franchise and then 1960 developed around an important plot. Point not only in league history but also in the history of the Dallas Cowboys rivalry. appeared on the scene in first place in the western division, but a year later the Minnesota Vikings were added, since Dallas was the geographic outsider, it made sense for Minnesota to join teams like Chicago Green Bay and the Detroit East owners were able to vote.

Since they had one less team in their division, do you want Minnesota or Dallas? Minnesota was placed in the west, the Cowboys moved east. I'm Roger Staubach in Dallas. I'm going to try to complete a 1500 mile pass to Drew Pearson in Having Dallas geographically in Eastern New York was a little confusing, but it created one of the best overall divisional rivalry stories in the game. The Dallas Cowboy America team, where the star was not only on Dallas' helmets but eventually on their backs as they evolved into America's team. Their own fan base would grow to be the largest in the NFL is number one, as would the number of fans who hate them.

The Cowboys can clearly claim more teams as rivals than anyone else, although the most passionate anti-Dallas pockets are found in Washington DC, Philadelphia, oh here. Come on, it was a big blow. Dallas' rivalry with the Giants began around the time the Cowboys began playing when they poached New York's defensive coordinator, so when the two first met in 1960, the G-men were facing Tom Landry , who also happened. To play for them, the Giants and Cowboys tied their first meeting 31-31. Dallas Cowboys complete even in the final minutes. By buying the Giants 31-31, you win the New Yorkers' title aspirations.

From there, there were many great games between them, but the Giants would struggle. mid-60s and all of the 70s and 80s was when things between them escalated, the Giants ending a nearly decade-long playoff drought in 1981 with a dramatic last-second field goal against Dallas, of course , the 18th playoffs after the 18 in 1986 in Dallas and the Giants face identical records of six and two the Cowboys had the number one offense in the NFC and the number one QB in the conference in Danny White until Carl Banks he broke his wrist Dallas went 1-6 without White down the stretch the Giants won the Super Bowl one of two they won in the 80s and 90s, on the other hand, the Dallas decade, Jimmy Johnson replaced Landry in 1989 and wasted no time in endearing himself to the big blue faithful.

Thanksgiving Day 1992, Dallas wins 30-3, Giants players complain that they ran the score. Based on Johnson's response, he called them crybabies and added that a classy football team doesn't cry or complain because someone hit them again. One of the best individual performances anyone has ever seen in the final game of 1993. Both teams, 11 and 4 Giants, separated Emmett Smith's shoulder. first half Greg Jackson and Smith get hurt Smith keeps playing, even though he racks up 168 yards on 32 grueling carries on the 41st of them on the game-winning drive in overtime Emmett Smith gets too funny and gets overpaid, let it go below those shoulder paths John Madden said he never walked into a locker room after a broadcast to congratulate anyone, except the time he did so to get Smith to empty his tank before the bad blood between the two reached a fever pitch. the next year Troy Aikman threw a Hail Mary to Alvin Harper at the end of the half, the Cowboys won a flag and Irvin yells at the side judge when suddenly this thing breaks out, look, look at this chaos that ensued.

Cowboys safety James Washington grabbed a photographer's monopod and was using it like a sword asking the Giants players to come face him, it was crazy and he's going to take a camera from that photographer on a tripod and brandishes it as a weapon, but never uses it. New York's Big Tuna wasn't coaching that game. The legendary Bill Parcells left New York after the 1990 season. Let's get this deal out of the way. He first landed in a couple more places and then, for Giants fans, horror took over as the leader in Dallas once again, you know, just give it a try. and I will do the best I can.

Tonight I'll look like a teenager. What's the matter? He returned to the Meadowlands in 2003 wearing the star and led the boys to a 35-32 overtime victory. Bill Parcells enters the giant stadium and leaves with a 35-32 overtime victory six years later, Dallas was ready to open the house that Jerry built. Of course, they let the Giants play on the road in the first game, so it was doubly painful when they lost their home opener on a last-second field goal. the New York Giants can celebrate on their own field the new Dallas Cowboys field Eli Manning wanted everyone to remember him he also signed on the wall of the visiting locker room 33-31 first victory in the new stadium 2007 first playoff matchup divisional round Eli Manning and Company beat Tony Romo in the number one Cowboys 21-17 it is the only time they have played a postseason game starting in 2022. rolls to the right throws a deep ball down the right sideline it is a jump Odell Beckham Jr he made the one-handed catch, one of the most iconic catches in the history of the game.

Cowboy Giants. A lot of that game has to do with the setting. Sunday Night Football is the only game that airs on television and it's the Giants versus the Cowboys that you can catch. The best capture I have ever seen is in the conversation. There seems to be a natural instinct in pigs that when they see a Dallas Cowboys jersey they want to tear it up. The beginning of the rivalry between Dallas and Washington. One of the best. How about blackmail with a fight song? As we mentioned, Washington came up with his HTTR fight song in the '30s, although the team didn't own the rights to the song, so when its owner, George Preston Marshall, fell out with the team's band director. whoever wrote the tune sells it to Clint Murchison, the eventual owner of the Cowboys, he actually tried to buy Washington from George Preston Marshall and move them to Dallas and George Preston Marshall had no interest in selling, I'm sure Murchison and Marshall didn't like them . each other, so when it came time to vote on whether Dallas would be admitted to the league, which required the approval of all the league's owners, Marshall threatened to vote no unless Merkerson returned the song.

This is the story of a new team on the Texas team. The Dallas Cowboys, two clubs played for the first time in 1960, Washington won 26-14, the Redskins only won that season. The '70s were all about Tom Landry and George Allen Allen took over Washington and made it clear that Dallas is our focus. George Allen, he hated cowboy bastards. doesn't take the quickest can't stand it would tell us that I hate themselves a gun I can hear it right now Allen hated the Cowboys so much that he refused to call one of his own players Dallas Hickman by his name his attitude toward the Cowboys they ignited the rivalry the Cowboys rivalry is intense because the Cowboys had this division to themselves, they had a kid's game every year, they won it every year eight years in a row, so we came in and destroyed their uh, their power, we beat them and whenever.

The club comes in and upsets your balance, then there will be a rivalry. 1972 NFC Championship Game. Roger Staubach behind center in place of Craig Morton. Washington wins easily to advance to the Super Bowl and quarterback Roger Staubach is no longer effective after the game. Washington's director, Talbert. It seemed like beating Staubach was easier than beating Morton. Staubach heard Talbert's comment and swore revenge, they beat us and Darren just couldn't wait to say we're glad Staubach was a starting quarterback and that really bothered me, I mean, you didn't. I don't say that before the game, so the rest of my career you won't see a loss that was critical against the Redskins.

There was the Harvey Martin Funeral game in 1979. The division and home field advantage were on the line in the last game. season ahead, the offensive star of Dallas' defense received a funeral wreath reportedly sent by Washington. He kept it in his locker room all week as motivation. However, Dallas was very depressed and seemed dead until Captain Comeback put on his cape and threw two touchdowns in the Last Finals.Five minutes Martin ran to the Washington locker room after opening the door and throwing the crown in. They were in the middle of a team prayer. I don't want to sit here all offseason again hearing about Dallas fans after beating Minnesota the week before the breakup.

We want the Dallas opportunity. Most guys think it's going to be a Super Bowl experience, but the Super Bowl pales in comparison to this Dexter. Manly blew up Danny White, knocking him out of the game that Washington won and won the Super Bowl, fast forward to the first game of the 1985 season. Joe Theisman and his boys show up to face Dallas on Monday Night Football and the Theisman's birthday, Dallas eliminated him five. times that led to him landing on the bench fans happy to sing happy birthday to him when he got there strike year of 1987 Dallas fielded a team that included several of its stars Washington was made up of all replacement players to the disbelief of fans of the Cowboys the Redskins won the game and eventually the four touchdowns in the Super Bowl Jimmy Johnson came in 1989 Dallas was terrible they only won one game all year but the team they beat Washington here is your Owen 16.

The 2012 winner takes out the playoff division loser Alfred Morris three touchdowns 200 rushing yards Redskins win while Dallas and Washington started on a sour note Dallas Philadelphia took some time to develop Ed is a place where all Eagles fans can come and express their true feelings feelings about Dallas, they first played in 1960 and the Eagles won the opening stanza 27. -25 en route to what turned out to be an NFL championship for them Eagle Strike again when they receive the ball Billy Ray Barnes turns to the left side for a 23-yard touchdown but from 1967 to 1980 Philadelphia only won five games against Dallas in 28 tries after two weeks, the Dallas Cowboys had scored 91 points, the Turning Point, the blue jersey game, also known as the of the 1980 NFC Championship, the Eagles deliberately chose to wear white at home, which was not normal for them, forcing the Cowboys to wear blue, which was seen. how bad luck in dallas and the cowboys in that blue turned out to be true in that game philadelphia won and moved on to the super bowl now let's add a little friend ryan to the mix this is where the

evolution

of the rivalry really gets nasty 87 strike The year progresses Dallas beats the Eagles 41-22 early in the season when the Replacements were still in play, they throw it from right to hard Reverse runner left Edwards has a first down and more, except we point out that many regulars of the Cowboys had crossed the picket line reverse touchdown Ryan claimed that Tom Landry ran up the score and swore revenge, so later in the year, when the regular players returned, the Eagles were up at the end of the game by 10. take a knee and go to home or maybe throw it deep into the end zone. then when you get the pi call and the ball where you run it, I know those people we told to go with the dogs there for a long time, remember in 1989 the Bounty Bowls the Eagles shut out the Cowboys in Dallas.

Earlier in the season, The End Zone, after the loss, Johnson accused the Eagles of setting up bounties on Troy Aikman and kicker Luis and Dejas, who had been released by the Eagles, that hit right there on Gogan, that had what to be. I'm watching Logan come back. Man, those two hands are going up, I mean, having bounties on opposing players is not the way it's supposed to be done. Oh, I would have said something to my friend, but he didn't stay on the field long enough, he got his big fat ass on. in the locker room, their coach is making all-time excuses without preparing his team, it was all the players, him too, I have no respect, but he got my university on probation and I'm sure those players, those veteran players , get along.

That team doesn't believe in all that high school Charlie stuff they're spreading. The two met again later in Philadelphia, at the Bounty Bowl, part two. Eagles fans were more than eager to throw fuel on the fire and throw snowballs at the Cowboys. The next chapter called for some pork. which was added the following season Ryan choked on a pork chop at a dinner prior to his first meeting with Dallas. He had to do the Heimlich. Former Cowboys president Tex Schramm dubbed the upcoming game the pork chop bowl that several Cowboys fans showed off. armed and ready, but the Eagles had the last laugh by winning the game 21-20 Calvin Williams 1992 The Cowboys defeated the Randall Cunningham Rich kotai Eagles 34-10 in the divisional round Cunningham faced the Barry Switzer Cowboys in the Divisional round of 1995 was another easy win for the guys 30 to 11.

Yes, with the Eagles, the dynasty years only increased the distaste that Eagles fans had for the star to such a point that in 1999 Michael Irvin suffered a career-ending injury in a game at the vet Eagles fans obviously didn't know the extent of the injury, however some applauded when he was carried off the field people didn't cheat because I was hurt they would do with Chan because there was the return of Torell Owens is back in the link that the faithful star of Philadelphia had the luxury of pouring it on his former teammate thanks while the Eagles poured it in the wild card round of Dallas 2009 Tony Romo Donovan McNabb turns out Just like before Dallas won 34-14, you simply won't find too many rivalries with this intensity that was on display again in 2017 at the draft of all places where it was held in Philadelphia.

Perfect setup for former Cowboys receiver Drew Pearson to stir the pot. The commissioner says, man, they're really out there, he said, are you?. ready for this, I said commissioner, I'm used to being a Boudin Philly champion, there, all the Cowboys players who played before me, who played with me and played, it's an all-time great draft announcement. Drew Pearson soaked in the hate that the 2018 draft had. In Dallas, you can guess what happened when the Eagles made their selection. Hey, in Dallas, the last time you were in the Super Bowl, oh, these draft picks. One more recently, it was Eagles head coach Nick Siriani, who came into action wearing a I beat the Dallas jersey to a press conference before a game against the Cowboys I'll wear this all week uh my kids got it my wife has one and uh yeah, we'll use them, the continued success of the Cowboys over the years has also created from divisional rivalries.

The Cowboys Packers emerged in the late '60s. In 1966 and '67, Green Bay beat Dallas to back-to-back NFL championships and here, in the end zone, under the hot lights, the Cowboys' desperate title bid expired in the divisional round of the 1982 playoffs. It is the often forgotten playoff battle between the two Dallas Victorious over the Lynn Dickey Packers, the Cowboys dominated every phase of the first half and built a 20-7 lead that was sparked for a touchdown return by Dennis Thurman 93 94 and 95 Dallas beats Green Bay in the playoffs then 2014 and 2016 Green Bay beats the boys in the divisional round one of those victories a victory that lives in terms of infamy the receiver did not keep to Dallas Pittsburgh were both making Super Bowls left and right in the 70s each fan base's dislike of each other stems from the desire to be the dominant team of that era Dallas San Francisco one of the best rivalries in the conference and of longer duration when it comes to non-division opponents heads to midfield there he goes, yeah, there's going to be a penalty on George T because he was going to time him, so Owens was going to show him again and Teak just said "at the hell", this game is over anyway, I'm just going to take a cheap shot at it.

They met three years in a row in the playoffs in the early '70s, Dallas won all three games and killed Ron Sellers in the hands with the winning touchdown. They met again in the postseason in 1981. The 49ers won that fight in the '90s. Other playoffs from Dallas, San Francisco, Trilogy All-Conference Championship Games. The first two won Super Bowls after each day, Emmett Smith will keep the ball that will go to the box. Steve Young and Company stopped the A 3p Cowboys in 1994 en route to their Super Bowl title. Own San Francisco most recently in 2021 and 22 with consecutive wins in win-or-go-home games.

Fred Warner, the big city, took it away and took it away, and how about Dallas, New England? It doesn't have many iconic moments, but in the modern era, the success of the Patriots has put them in competition for the title of the American team with a common part, so they are everyone's enemy, that's good pressure, that's sir, it took some time for New England to reach Dallas status, but their interdivisional rivalries were instantaneous. when the Cowboys joined the NFL, the AFL started playing, they opted for an East-West division, they seemed pretty familiar, aren't they the Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders and Chargers on one hand, the Patriots and Titans Bells of New York who will soon be the Jets on the other?

Another, first division rival New England, faced the Jets. Boston Patriots vs. New York Titans in the second week of the 1960 season. The Patriots came out of the series gate with a 28-24 victory. Yes, you heard that saying sometimes on the windshield, sometimes. As for the mistake, the Patriots have been the windshield most of the time, the two teams trading standard wins and losses for most of their years in the AFL. It wasn't until 1978 that the temperature was raised, call it the prequel to Spy Gate. New England defeats the Jets. 55-21 Jets head coach Walt Michael said the Patriots knew what was coming the entire game and accused the Paths of getting their signals from another team.

We will have ups and downs when the time comes, but we are young. 24 years, so how did they get New England back? As the story goes, some Jets coaches supposedly turned around and gave the Houston Oiler some Patriots codes that theoretically helped them beat New England in a big game later that season End Zone, he's there Caster touchdown Orders lead 26-23 in first wild-card game of 1985 Patriots Jets postseason clash Tony Eason led New England past New York on their way to their first Super Bowl, so this is just the Patriots' second playoff game. Victory doing it in the Wild Card against yes Isn't it the Jets coaches who have played a central role in the rivalry between the Jets and the Patriots?

Patriots head coach Bill Parcell's contract was set to expire at the end of Super Bowl 31. He wanted more control than owner Robert Kraft was giving him, so after the Super Bowl They Quit, They Want You to Cook Dinner, At Least They should let you buy some groceries. Parcells was headed to New York. Kraft accused the Jets of manipulation and since Parcells could not coach New York immediately due to his contract, they decided to hire him as a consultant and have a young coach named Bill Belichick manage the team for a year; In the end, New England would receive draft picks from the Jets in exchange for letting Parcells coach it wouldn't take much to fuel the fire when we're talking about New York and Boston anyway, Patriots fans started hating Jets fans even more than before because they were taking a Big Tuna ship and then they signed Pete Carroll away from the 49ers.

Carol, formerly the head coach of the Jets, you guessed it. The rivalry had a full set now, so a lot of it has nothing to do with the football on the field, it's been the front office back and forth. Bad Blood Staff just a few years later, Parcells retired, so the Jets promoted Belichick. One of Belichick's iconic moments in his introductory press conference a day later, he resigned due to the various uncertainties surrounding my position in relation to the team's new ownership. I have decided to resign as head coach of the New York Jets. Ends up like the New England head coach is obviously the same deal.

New England this time gave up draft picks to open the door to coaching immediately. Hopefully this press conference will be a little better than the last one I had. The Jets apparently played a big role in the creation. the Patriots dynasty was a New York player who knocked out Drew Bledsoe from a 2001 game between the two oh my god and oh look at Draw that Mo Lewis hit opened the door for asixth round draft pick by Michigan Patriots fans, you have the Jets to thank Tom Brady in some way I like sticks, okay, you just want to throw it away so you can get on TV, uh, yeah. 2006, more training.

Madness Jets returned to the Patriots, training and hiring defensive coordinator Eric Mangini away from New England to be their head coach in the press conference before their first meeting Belichick never mentions Mangini by name, yes, I will refrain from commenting about anyone unless they are actually on our team the same week they were meeting. New England filed tampering charges. against the Jets in connection with their wide receiver Dion Branch The Jets were eventually cleared Belichick beat Mangini's New York Squad in the game that remained open when Jackson, the rookie from Florida, was alone to score and then, when the Jets beat the Patriots later that year. the talk surrounded his handshake after the game, the thought a little chilly because they would meet for the third time that season in the playoffs.

Belichick did everything he could to make sure he wasn't bothered with the topic again, let's review this moment. people get out of their way how about this time a hug now we get to the real Spygate 2007? New England handily beats New York two handily according to Jets coaches who filed a complaint claiming Belichick told his staff to record New York's defensive signals. Belichick issued a statement two days later apologizing to anyone who had been affected and also included that he had spoken with commissioner Roger Goodell to clarify the rule that Belichick was fined five hundred thousand dollars and that the team had to forfeit its first-round pick. in the 2008 draft.

Look, I understand that there is interest out there, I understand that there are many stories, but it was all in the past, it was decided that it was over and we headed to San Diego, the accusations between the two continued to fly. New England claimed that Jets personnel recorded New England's playoff game. illegally the Jets say they were given permission to do it Belichick said they were never given permission yes I said yes I have nothing to bring Rex Ryan now made sure the pot stayed stirred 2009 started with a comment about Belichick's rings . I'm not intimidated by him or anyone else in this business.

The presence of Rex Ryan showing up saying "I'm not kissing Bill Belichick's wings" and then going back to back. In the AFC Championship Games, three home teams advance, all good, it rose to different areas of the New England Patriots fan base, and then before their first game against New England in 2009, Ryan records a message sent a All the jet season ticket holders make it miserable for Brady. when we face him this week, hey, this destroyed Ryan, the head coach of the New York Jets. I've already admitted that you know, hey, the Patriots have a better head coach and they have a better quarterback than us, but let's see who he is.

I have a better team the reason I have so much confidence is they will take on you and the rest of our fans and my challenge to you is we need you at your best it seems to be working the Jets won the 100th game . between the two 16-9 the next year New England beats the Jets 45-3 Antonio Cromartie of New York called Brady and said he pointed to the Jets bench after one of his touchdown passes, we said Tom Brady is a fierce competitor and look at this reaction after the last touchdown pass there is one on his bench and now he is heading to the jet bench the two met in the playoffs later that season and the Jets got their revenge and celebrated Dion's branch of New England called their classless celebrations the Jets doing the jet Landing in Foxboro was a defining moment of Rivalry's Thanksgiving Day 2012, the infamous fumble I had never seen before in my life.

Mark Sánchez didn't expect it and it was Brandon Moore's butt that took the ball. The two teams fought. Much along the way 2013 saw the team brawl during a 13-10 Patriots win, you know, there's a brawl everywhere, flags everywhere, there's players everywhere, those officials trying to separate them, they got stung gangrene to the faithful quite well upon seeing their star. field wearing a Patriots uniform, Rex Ryan said he was sick to his stomach seeing Darrell Rivas wearing the red, white and blue instead of green and white. Grievous and the Patriots won the Revenge game 58 yards to give the Jets a victory no one saw coming in a short amount of time. for the victory, there was finally the ghost game of IC.

The Patriots picked off Sam Darnold four times in one game in 2019. Darnold gave Patriots fans more ammunition when the microphone picked him up after one of his ints guesses who's here, the bogeyman coming . Bill's Patriots began with a whitewashed Buffalo that blanked the Pats in their first meeting in 1960 by a score of 13-0. 1963 saw the two meet in the AFL divisional round. New England won 26-8. Buffalo New England doesn't have the same teeth as some. of the other matchups not many that really bother me moments in their timeline many exciting games memorable individual performances the real anger that Bill's Mafia feels tied to the fact that Tom Brady and the team owned them like no one else 32-3 overall , and when he retired, Brady finished his career with more wins on Buffalo's home field than any Bills quarterback, he gets in the pocket, he throws it down the field, he skis, he's gone for a touchdown, the Patriots, Rex Ryan turned up the heat a bit in 2015, speaking openly about Buffalo. fan base that hates the Patriots, their players coming together and what our fans are going to be like when you have the hated Patriots, I mean, uh, I don't think our fans need more, which indicates the result of all that talk.

Patriots Victory Buffalo and New England's playoff Showdown 2021 Buffalo sends Bill Belichick to his worst playoff loss 47-17 what a performance by the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen five touchdown passes Bill's Jets are similar in some ways, they have frequency and history , but perhaps not an intense hatred between them they met in 1960 an easy win in New York they had one of the best offenses in the afl 1981 wild card round Joe Ferguson throws four interceptions Richard Todd throws four interceptions The Bills win 31-27 From there a lot of back and forth and eventually some accidents there is something about that lineage of Ryan in rivalry football isn't it there?

He was New York's boss for six years and then jumped straight to the books, so the Jets turned in and hired Bill's former head coach, Chan Galey, to be their offensive coordinator. Ryan brought along a pair of Jets players, wide receiver Percy Harvin and ik anik Pali. It's important because I had The Jets just cut me for breaking his own quarterback's jaw. Never happened. I should have walked away from the situation. It was never my intention to hurt anyone. So what does Ryan do? He has Paulie as team captain for the game against the Jets now. the rivalry was simmering and the other big story that came in the week was the 75 coin toss there in red ik on Polly, the former jet who broke Geno Smith's jaw during a fight, as we mentioned, the AFC West didn't have to. waits for its fourth member, they all started playing together in the AFL West in 1960.

Raiders Chiefs one of the best rivalries in the history of the game the games with the Raiders were not games, no games were fun, you know, these were Wars The Chiefs beat the Raiders in the first round when they were in Dallas playing as the Texans 34-16 in 1960. This rivalry didn't have geography on its side but it had animosity in abundance. The Los Angeles Raiders, before the Football League, we have guys that Ultimately, I hated them, I hate the Raiders and then if you talk to the Raiders football team, we hate the Kansas City Chiefs, the former owner of the Chiefs, Lamar Hunt, and Mr.

Just Windbaby played a major role in creating ill will among the fan bases. 1966, the great rivalries continue. Oakland's Al. Davis believed the AFL could overtake the NFL at some point. His idea was that this was a guerrilla war. Al's exit strategy was not a merger. Al's exit strategy was to make them his equals and then be better than them, but Hunt ended up making a deal for the leagues to merge and then felt he was undermined because a Cowboys tech chase and tram had a deal. fusion behind his back. The last guy they told about the merger was Davis.

The first two Super Bowls were the Chiefs and then the Raiders. They represented the AFL in 1968 and '69, met in the playoffs splitting the two games in which the Chiefs twice drove inside Oakland's five-yard line and were denied touchdowns both times. The games between the two teams in the '60s and '70s were akin to Buchanan's heavyweight boxing slug fests when he bent George Bland face down and threw him over his head, which wrote some of us incorrect and, at times, they also did some slugging. 1970 Len Dawson slides in to stop the clock for a first down late in the game.

We had a three point lead a third down play and I called a boot here's the boot Now for Dawson running to the right Oakland's Ben Davidson wanted to make sure he was down apparently being a conscientious defensive end he should land him which is illegal now my helmet on his back that didn't sit well with Dawson's teammates facing off there are at least eight Chiefs here come all the Raiders holy Toledo it's free-for-all, that's the kind of thing that happens and at any moment you can take a shot low in that game well worth it 1975 now Kansas City defeats an undefeated Oakland Squad 42-10 Mike Livingston's passes gave a lead the Raiders couldn't catch Kansas City's mascot war paint made sure everyone They were aware of the situation by doing a lap around the field every time they scored a TD add that horse I remember Madden hated that horse and every time his Chiefs scored the horse ran up and down the field the 80s did not moderate the hatred between the two 1986 there was that fights double fights ejections suspensions were the topic of the day Marty Schottenheimer was injected In The Fray in the '90s, the former Kansas City head coach put up signs that said Raiders Week in all the facilities before games against them.

He always always always referred me to them. It's Raiders week, that's all we had to talk about. Senior Week was different from any other week. He said they were disrespectful and arrogant and I have great respect for Alf, but I always felt he thought the Raiders were all that worked. Schottenheimer went 18-for-3 against the silver and black, taking a playoff-game 91 along the way, good hit, he throws the ball to put his hitters tempted by Martin in the 50th. They're on a roll, baby, and Todd Marinovich has been eliminated for the fourth. Today's time, Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen's turn, now the former Raiders Legend fell out with Davis and was cut, of course, he signed to play for Kansas City.

I don't see much man over the quiet guys. Allen went nine and one against his old Squad, if you asked him he would say they didn't mean any more than any other game, but that team said they couldn't do it anymore and always wanted to prove him wrong, the Raiders' new home in Las Vegas , as the story goes. a construction worker and a Chief loyalist buried a Kansas City flag under the Stadium field the Facebook post that followed Flag buried in dirt encased in concrete with the Stadium built on top The Chiefs beat the Raiders without a touchdown and only the City Denver and Kansas City fans can agree One thing is that they have a shared enemy when it comes to the Raiders and Broncos.

The Raiders is at least a PG-13 movie. Denver took an early lead by beating Oakland in their first meeting 31-14. Oakland although dominated the early years of the game. -Mutual hatred really kicked into high gear in 1972. Al Davis takes over as owner of the Raiders for the first time. Denver at the time was owned by Gerald Phipps. Phipps' granddaughters quote Al Davis and my grandfather hated each other, I mean hated each other, she even said that Davis won the Forest from her to send silver and black roses to Phipps' wife's funeral. Wow, devious, ruthless, cunning, no, I'll take it.

Many fans point to 1977 as the real on-field escalation moment in which the Broncos beat the Raiders in the playoffs. his first Super Bowl Get Down Denver going through the Super Bowl we all go to the Super Bowl Davis's role in Denver Oakland Feud would never give up Both teams enjoyed success during the '80s, which made things even more tense between the two. but it was the 90s that saw the rivalry boil overDuring the 1993 season, the Raiders rallied from a 30-13 deficit in the final game of the year to win 33-30 in overtime, setting up a rematch the following week at playoff time. to get the blood boiling Jeff Hostetler runs out of bounds Chaos ensued and here come the Raiders after saying someone made a big hit Braxton and Tim Brown are really doing it and someone is off the bench near a street?

Who is that street dress fighting? one of the Broncos now one of the officials falls the fight led to the Raiders achieving a 42-24 victory. I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed, to be honest, you can't overlook Mike Shanahan. I've been in the NFL for 18 years, that's absolutely the worst decision I've ever seen in my life. He was an assistant for the Broncos. The Raiders stole him and named him head coach in 1988. He lasted one season in four games. He and Davis were in a fight over money. Davis said. him, if you come back to Denver, I won't pay, that didn't stop Shanahan, although how were his 582 days?

Lane Kiffin was there for 616 days, so what it really means is that Al Davis liked Lane more than I did. Not really. I think it's fair that he took over as head coach in Denver in 1995, he took on the Raiders on Monday Night Football and shut them out 27-0 before Shanahan took over. The Broncos had lost 13 of their previous 15 games against the Raiders during Shanahan's reign. we're down 21-7 against them, we're on a 10-yard line and we're coming out of the end zone and Al is about at the 25 or 30 yard line on the numbers just with his hands crossed and you know, looking at our team. and the player says hey coach, we can't, we can't run there at all, tell him to get out of the way.

I said Elvis. Said. Hey. I said throw a goal route and if you happen to get the ball close to that guy. with the white suit over there I said you won't bother me so Elvis takes the ball and throws it as hard as he can at Al Davis's head the last second of the album He moves out of the way and almost hits him, he looks up and sees Mike and Mike there greeting us many of those games played an important role in the continued development of mutual disdain 1999 the snowball fight game Oakland's Charles Woodson and lineman Lincoln Kennedy had a snowball fight with fans Kennedy even went up into the stands after someone was holding his mask and putting things on him, he just knocked a guy out, things didn't calm down in the decades that followed the decision to leave and Michael Crabtree made sure in 2017 that the ill will between the two teams it will end.

Alive and alive, I mean, you knew this was going to happen, this just came out of the Chargers, they tend to be the overlooked piece of the AFC West rivalry scene, generally their fans are considered part of Raider Nation, who hates Raider Nation in their first meeting. With the Raiders in 1960, they scored 52 points running inside this time and that's good for six points. The bad blood between the two started early. Al Davis was an assistant for the Chargers when they started in Los Angeles. They were the best team they ever formed. More than 40 points on the Raiders in their first five games, so Oakland thought they were as good a club as any to steal Davis.

The Raiders swept the Chargers in his first year as head coach. The coaching staff the year before I arrived had a 1-13 record. and we finished 10-4 Davis not only jumped ship to an interdivision rival, he took something with them when he did, he also stole or borrowed maybe something from the Chargers logo. Davis had the Raiders insignia altered after he appeared, he added a now very famous Shield, where did you come up with the concept? Yes, the original Chargers logo had one, the saying that goes around, take what you're given, it all sounds good to everyone, but I always went the other way, let's take what we want that the disdain of the fans of the Chargers by the Raiders grew significantly second, in 1978 they called the play the immaculate fake that most fans know as the Holy Roller scramble two seconds Not only did the league change the fumble rules after this game, but That the Miracle quote probably kept the Chargers out of the playoffs didn't help.

Oakland's players would also not admit to hitting the ball forward after the game. Only they could say about the Holy Roller. You can see it in the movie. Turns out I was there at the time and Paul. I lunged and tried to pick it up and kicked it to myself, as we mentioned, the same year that the current NFC rivalry block was completed This was the same season that the four NFC North clubs were all together Vikings Bears Chicago was the first team to play Minnesota. They defeated the established Club 37-13, there is no doubt that Brandon officiated this game himself and scored to give the Vikings a commanding 31-6 lead.

Minnesota and Chicago have only played playoff football against each other once; the Bears defeated Minnesota in a 1994 Wild Card Game 35-18 (listen closely to the NFC Central champion Minnesota Vikings), but most of the anger of Minnesota's internal division is directed towards the Green Bay Packers. They've beaten the Minnesota Vikings and now we have a fight. Vince Lombardi's group of the '60s was tough on the newborn franchise, they beat me to death, I mean, they bloodied me, but the tide turned when Bud Grant Fran Tarkington and the purple people eaters emerged in the '70s and began their season with three touchdowns against the archrival Packers Minnesota became the big brother of the relationship. and that's when things really started to heat up, the Vikings got off to a hot start by beating Green Bay for the 11th time in 13 tries.

The rivalry cooled a bit in the '80s and '90s. 1993 gave fans the game of Eric Gulliford. Jim McMahon. The Minnesota quarterback. Vikings. at midfield with seconds left against Green Bay up 13-12, how could a guy who caught one pass in two seasons for Minnesota get so wide open? Eric kicked it home with time Monday Night Football year 2000 Brett Favre Antonio Freeman, you can guess which The exchanges between fans were like after a finish like this touchdown, he did what the first decade of the New Millennium had a lot of animosity to the old-fashioned game between the two teams, in large part thanks to Mr.

Straight Cash, buddy, I told you so and I called you a touchdown. Randy Moss's arrival in Minnesota definitely expanded things in his head, they can't jump with me God Lee, his bravery not to mention his skill made it easy to dislike him if you were a fool, especially when he outsmarts you in the hollow fields of Lambeau. Field in his first playoff clash act of Randy Moss that moment as provocative as it was could pale in comparison to the day in 2009 the city of Green Bay found out about Minnesota's new quarterback, he couldn't be right, the rivalry never I would.

I know the same thing, it's like a knife in your back, you know, it's hard to take, you know, if there's any other team, we're fine with the Jets, but not with the Vikings, it's hard to swallow seeing them in purple, that one, that one , I hurt myself. I'm going to jail, it had to be Minnesota Brett Favre wearing purple, how could he do it after I didn't come back to the Packers? I wanted to play for whoever played against the Packers. Minnesota played them twice for the 33rd time so far, but in part. of the Vikings Packers but for the first time he is wearing purple Farr faced his former team for the first time in Minnesota throws three touchdowns without ints and came out with the w I thought after the first game I thought it was okay, the butterflies are gone . to come back to reality when I go to Lambeau it's going to be easy to roll my memory of the day he came back was uh-oh it didn't bother him much that The Whispers of Traitor went through the stands, it was even better than Minnesota was, four touchdowns without ints and a season sweep, the ultimate nightmare for a Packers fan.

The Packers beat the Vikings in the 2012 wild card round, that's the only other time they played postseason and Webb will fumble. away by Clay Matthews and the Green Bay Packers with designs on a trip to San Francisco 1966, the Miami Dolphins were added to the AFL and that marked the completion of the current AFC East return to Miami jet uh the game is a great rivalry throughout the In the 80s there were always those types of games where the competitiveness went up other level. I think the fans have something to do with it. Jets Dolphins smash the fish with the fish underwater where they belong.

Jets number one. Jets have provided a series of worthy evolutionary moments of disdain one of the most controversial the 1982 mud bowl for two rain-soaked court the teenager toiled and punched his way to the top scoreless the Jets had been dominating the Dolphins heading into the 82 AFC Championship game the game was in Miami the Orange Bowl stadium for 72 hours before the game, it poured in strange ways, the tarp was never taken out to cover the field, the game had nine losses of the ball, the Dolphins won and moved on to the Super Bowl Discovery will run for a touchdown, so what was the deal? with the mat for the rest of his life Jets head coach Walt Michaels believed it was not an oversight, he claimed, Dolphins head coach Don Shula deliberately left it to neutralize the team's superior speed of New York, the result was an emotional victory that would carry the team To Pasadena, the 1983 draft has always been a sore point for the Jets when it comes to the Finns, not because of anything they did wrong.

The New York Jets the Jets take their first-round pick Ken O'Brien quarterback from California Davis, but when you take Ken O'Brien, a good quarterback and left Dan Marino in Miami. Dan Marino may be the best throwing quarterback in the history of the National Football League. He was there to be chosen in a year when the Jets were going to sign a quarterback and decided against it. rubbing salt in the wounds the Miami Dolphins did it, it hurts when it turns around and lights you up again and again Marino throws it, exploits it, gets caught for a touchdown Mourinho threw more touchdown passes against the Jets than any other team in his career there, he hit it for a touchdown on one of the best trick plays in history that leads 24-21.

I think Marina was saying: I'm going to finish. It just so happens that Bernie Kozar came to our team that year. as a backup and he always had the idea of ​​using his fake finishing game and he never got around to using it in Cleveland and in fact, on the last drive, you know, he mentioned, "Hey, this might be the time I want to use it." Well, I'm watching Another spectacular effort from Mourinho shoots a touchdown and with the fake that Marino was doing, he pretended he was going to shoot by making that move and the Jets just relaxed on defense, caught the Jets sleeping, but I threw it, so I take credit for it too. two teams produced the Monday Night Miracle, one of the most underrated games in NFL history.

I would say one of the best games I've ever seen was the Monday Night Miracle, where the Miami Dolphins played the Jets. Who would have thought the Dolphins would break out? this building and just grab the New York Jets by the throat, oh man, I was going to sit down and watch Monday Night Football tonight from 30 to 7. I told you they're headed to the exit, where they're going to win 40 to 37 OT Jets . Buoyed by a miraculous 30-point fourth quarter in New York, that game had it all. There were so many special things in that game. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I think he said, "You know Wayne Quebec is going to die. He's going to turn it around. Wayne Grebec is going to make it. The Jets are going to come after you, we'll see. I think the offense needs to end, ladies and gentlemen, we have a new game." ball. 2010, Nassal Alosi's travel game. Alosi was New York's strength and conditioning coach Nolan Carroll was cruising along the sideline on a kick return when he hit some sort of backstop. speed, well it looks like one of the Jets staff tripped him, that knee comes out, how about the Dolphins Patriots?

A snow storm helped escalate things between these two in 1982. The weather was so bad. that no one could score with both teams slipping and sliding all day. Miami's best chance to score was thwarted by the Frozen Turf late in the quarter. The Patriots enter field goal range. New England head coach. , Ron Meyer, send a snowplow driver to clear the way for the kick, this loss could cost us home field advantage in the playoffs in every playoff game and that kind of thing shouldn't happen as a result of someone setting up a snowplow driver for a prisoner with a day off. prison on the field to give a special advantage to the home team.

Dolphins head coach Don Shula protested the game, but it was not overturned and it didn't take long for the Dolphins to exact revenge, which was a late regular season game they would face. In the wild card round that year, Miami's karma came in the form of a 28-13 victory,The teams battled each other in the 1997 wild card round, the Pete Carroll Drew Bledsoe Pats defeating Jimmy Johnson and Dan Marino's Dolphins in Miami the final week of the year. to win the division, then they turned around and beat them in New England in the wild card round 17-13 the following week, the one thing Miami has done that few other teams have accomplished with Tom Brady, especially in Miami, seven seconds that Brady Brooks throws.

Endzone intercepted interceptions by Michael Thomas Brady and lost to the Dolphins 12 times, while a Patriot that is the most he gave to any team by a wide margin, it took a miracle or two to do it, sometimes this will end after the shovel, or not? Miami running around oh, the next alteration of the Divisions came in 1967 and it was fantastic, this was one of the most forgotten stories in the NFL, the Atlanta Falcons joined the league in 1966, the New Orleans Saints were added in 1967 and with its incorporation a reorganization four divisions were created. Who do you think were the favorites in the capital division Dallas Philly Washington or New Orleans that was the only year in which the Giants did not play in the same division with their main rivals, meanwhile the Giants were moved to the Century Division with Cleveland Pittsburgh and the St Louis Cardinals, the Central Division, the only one that makes more geographical sense, is today's NFC North and then there was the Coastal Division, Rams, Colts, 49ers and Falcons , all four technically playing close to shore in 68, did it correctly. a mistake New Orleans and New York traded places the Giants again with the Redskins Cowboys and Eagles despite not being placed in the same division from the beginning, the rivalry between the Saints Falcons began when New Orleans entered the scene in 67.

The battle for NFL supremacy the South Saints won the first Showdown 27-24 these two also gave us an underrated gem of all time the New Orleans Miracle or the Hail Mary doubleheader 1978 The Falcons pulled off what should have been one of the best Hail Mary plays of all time, but the referee called it incomplete no matter that Atlanta would not be denied a miracle twice in one game three wide receivers for everyone on the right side markowski with a quick throw the shot clock He's running now at 17 shots long everyone's down there the Saints look like they're both in the lead like they are?

The 1991 Wild Card, the first time there was a South Playoff fight, was really good. Chris Miller vs. Michael Haynes led the Falcons to a 27-20 victory over the years the two have faced each other. There are many exciting and meaningful games, but this rivalry may have more to do with each team's fans who, those dirty birds, are about more than just football. With them, we're getting ready for an old-fashioned Saints Falcons game, aren't we? a year after all those now forgotten divisions were created, the Cincinnati Bengals were added to the AFL lineup and placed in the west, it didn't make sense but the Oilers were playing in the East so they had to go to somewhere to balance logic in this case more than anything else right now. the timeline is unique Cincinnati wasn't even in the same league as the Cleveland Browns yet, but it doesn't matter, this rivalry was born when the Bengals were born, it's known as the Battle for Ohio, but it should have been known as the Modell Feud brown between both teams.

They were founded by Paul Brown, he is a great football legend in Ohio, the best coach in The Game and the greatest guy in the world. Paul Brown, hello, Art Modell bought the team in 1961 and fired Brown two years later. Paul Brown won't do anymore. as head coach and general manager he called me on the phone said they took away my equipment his voice broke that was the only time I heard him lose his emotional composure it was a traumatic experience that he never forgave model of art in modern terms, this it was the equivalent of someone buying the Patriots and firing Bill Belichick.

Art Modell did the unfathomable thing of firing Paul Brown. One of the big lines at the time was that it was like the tower terminal in Cleveland collapsed, which was hard enough for an entire generation to accept. It doesn't seem fair after Brown left the organization he went to work to return to the league not only looked for a new job played a central role in the Bengals' launch not only have the state factor, so when they played, it was as personal as possible: noting that the Browns and Bengals share the same color scheme, Not a coincidence, an art model in Cleveland complained that we ripped off the Cleveland Browns uniform.

My father's answer was who. Brown wouldn't get a shot at Revenge right away, although he had to wait until 1970, when the AFL and NFL finally merged, splitting the teams into six divisions, making them special. They lasted 32 years, each conference had its own East West and Central, why not move Dallas at this stage? Apparently it was on the table, there was an old legend, then Commissioner Pete Roselle had five different ways to split the league, one with Dallas at center. As the story progresses, his secretary selected out of a hat the plan they would use, the new pairings created some unusual rivalries that no longer exist, like the Steelers Oilers for example, Houston placed with Pittsburgh in the new AFC Central along with the Bengals and Browns, allowing The Ohio Showdown to finally take place Paul Brown and his Bengals against the team that bore his name in one of sports' dramatic moments Obama returns to Cleveland after eight years the game was the official start of the War Interstate 1970 Modell gets on the board first The browns win 30-27. with Nelson's pass to Meltmore and brought the Browns back and gave Coach Collier a 30-27 victory over the Bengals, then later in the year, the rematch Brown got his revenge and the Bengals won the game as part of a seven consecutive winning streak that helped.

Cincinnati won the division by one game over the Browns and none other than the happiest moment of Paul Brown's career was beating the Browns. I remember the first time we beat Cleve and I got carried away. The only time I saw Paul cry was when we beat Cleveland and gave him the game ball. The apex of this feud came in 1989 and the game wasn't even between the Browns and Bengals. We're getting some snowballs last week in Cleveland there was a snowball incident and it was snowing. in Cincinnati the following week against Seattle snowballs were flying. Sam knew where the microphone was, and he grabbed the microphone and said, "Next person who sees someone walk into this field, point them out and get them out of here.

You don't live in Cleveland." time and time again when you go into Cleveland, Here's the Future, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh may not have started with too many fireworks, but it turned into one of the fiercest fights the league has ever seen. Bad blood has been the recurring theme of this image in recent years. check out that look at midfield here Jeremy Hills about to face four Steelers The Steelers beat the Bengals the first time they faced them 21-10 in 1970. The rookie scored his second touchdown of the night as the Steelers had a thrilling victory coming from behind. over Cincinnati, the two missed each other's Windows of Excellence, although when Pittsburgh dominated in the '70s, the Bengals were down.

When Cincinnati rose to prominence in the '80s, the Steelers faded. Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson had a lot of success against Pittsburgh, but he also took a lot of hard hits. Longtime Bengals fans will never forget the 1983 game when Pittsburgh's Keith Gary benched Anderson in one of the most brutal face masks you'll ever see. He could have put his hand on the forward in the 2000s. Both teams played in a high-five Bengals win high-scoring regular-season game in Pittsburgh after the game Bengals wide receiver T.J Hushman, Zada mocked Steelers fans by wiping their shoes with his beloved Terrible Towel, let me get a towel.

I need to stop my shoe and then they both finish. Until they met in the playoffs, the Bengals hosted Pittsburgh. Cincinnati had the advantage and the feeling that they could finally exercise some Pittsburgh demons, but it wasn't to be. Carson Palmer is down. Carson Palmer is squirming around the mother, he hit Carson Palmer and now he's going to throw it again to Roethlisberger's touchdown, open down the field, it's Wilson and the Steamers have a double-digit lead. Steelers head coach Bill Cowher also didn't hesitate to rub salt in the wound when I say who do you say we did in the next game.

One point and it would prove to be important: Vontes Burfict's 2012 arrival in Cincinnati. Vince Williams of the Steelers, who tweeted at Vontes Perfect Perfect, said: "Why wait, you know where to find me." They met at midfield today. Burfict didn't care. what anyone thought about his style of play, Steelers fans and Antonio Brown getting a front row seat to that style in their 2015 playoff matchup, perfect two and yeah, oh my gosh, the 2017 moment for a Payback Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith Schuster letting Burfict know they hadn't. forgotten to Pittsburgh Steelers fans this is the ultimate poetic justice public enemy number one vontes Burfict the 1970 merger also gave rise to Pittsburgh Oakland both were the cream of the AFC crop 70 played each other five years in a row in the playoffs the first of those games forever remembered by the Immaculate Reception looking for someone to throw to shoots it down the field and there is an absolutely incredible collision holy moly let's now go back to the new 1970 lineup, the AFC West, the The same four teams that make up today's AFC East, which is today plus the Baltimore Colts, remained in Baltimore until 1983, but played alongside the AFC East teams even after their move. to Indianapolis and it was after they made their move that Colt's Patriots were truly born Peyton Manning Tom Brady some argue they are the greatest QBs to ever play the game for our generation's greatest rivalry of all time, no matter where they rank every time they faced each other. another, it was gold in football, you had two of the most famous and recognizable quarterbacks of all time going against each other, hang on, yeah, they came into the league around the same time because of the heyday of his powers around the same time Brady defeated Manning. 11-6 overall in their careers, New England beat Indianapolis eight times in the 12 games in which the two quarterbacks participated.

Brady's first start was one of those dozen tb12s that got on the board first against Manning because it was the first memory Colts fans have. of Tom Brady, that's the incubation of this rivalry, the two met three times in the playoffs in Colts Patriots uniforms, Brady and company won in 2003 and four Patriots held this offensive Juggernaut to three points before the sheriff defeated them in 2006. The NFC side now NFC Central the same as the current NFC East group, what it is today with the St Louis Cardinals on the map, didn't make much sense, it seems like the central would have been a landing spot natural for them, maybe they would have done better in That division, as strange as it was to see the Cardinals playing teams like Dallas and New York as division foes, the NFC West was even more complicated for the 49ers and Rams on the west coast along with the Falcons and Saints in the east in the first post- The merger expansion occurred in 1976.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers moved to the AFC West. The Seattle Seahawks were placed in the NFC West. The plan from the beginning was to move them a year later, which they did. The Buccaneers would play in the NFC Central. The Seahawks in the AFC West. The logic of it all would allow the two new teams to get as much exposure as possible by playing against as many opponents as possible. The Seahawks Raiders, for example, that existed for a while, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Carolina Panthers joined The Fray in 1995. The Jaguars found themselves in the AFC Central, the Panthers and the NFC West, which at least brought them together with the Falcons and the Saints.

It was during the '90s that we saw the rivalry between Green Bay and San Francisco take off with Brett Favre and Company on Steve Young's 49ers and three of four playoff meetings and the Packers may have left it right there. The two teams also faced each other four times after Aaron Rodgers took over as the San Francisco Packers' QB, outscoring the QB they rejected in the draft in each of those contests in which he was intercepted. by Richard Sherman who will fall and the 49ers will win the game and go to the Super Bowl 19 96 follow that art The model guy took his Browns to Baltimore and turned them into the Ravens Cleveland was closed for a few years Baltimore Pittsburgh although it would turn out to be a rivalry between the center ofPittsburgh and Baltimore, you don't have to say much more, you'd think the Steelers Ravens would be nothing more than a continuation of the Steelers Browns, but that's far from the case, they don't like us, Baltimore.

Pittsburgh is widely considered the fiercest and most intense rivalry in the modern NFL there's something hidden there's something drawn there's a baby who did a little bit Forced Jacoby Jones back onto the field the Steelers beat the Ravens in the first round of their fight in course 31-17 in 1996. intercepted by Woodson 35-30 25-20 nothing more than marginalizing Rod Woodson that quickly from 2000 to the present this rivalry has seen it all 2001 first playoff fight Pittsburgh 27-10 the defense was like a curtain, today we won this as a team and. you said the defending champions were at home in 2008 the two met in the conference championship game Steelers defense again dominates three sacks three ints 2010 they were back at it in the divisional round more playoff action Baltimore finally takes the advantage by beating Pittsburgh in the Wild Card Round, they are the best catch in American football history.

Hello everyone, welcome to Cleveland Browns Stadium. The dress rehearsals are over. The wait is over. What a siege here at Cleveland Stadium. The fire is taking place. This crowd is going crazy. Cleveland was back up and running in 1999. Which meant we had more bad blood in the AFC Central, no one beat the Ravens more than the city of Cleveland. Cleveland Brown time, not the old Browns, the new Browns on team X Brown won a brown team, now someone has to win first. Browns Ravens Game 1999 The Ravens prevailed 17-10 Brown's last gasp had fallen short and they lost a winnable game by a single touchdown.

It got worse for the doghouse when Baltimore showed up in Ohio later that season, many of the fans already gone. A lot of anticipation about this game all week people said we don't care what you do the rest of the year but please win this one which obviously hasn't happened and the brown and orange fans must have had a knot in their throat. stomach. a year later, when the Ravens landed in the Super Bowl, could have been, should have been us, became the best of all time, thank you, at least they had something to celebrate next season, Cleveland finally got to taste victory against their former selves, sweeping the Ravens in 2001.

Everyone in this room deserves a tremendous amount of credit because they keep going, they need to believe in each other and they trust in it and they took a risk for 60 minutes and did a great job holding on. together in tough times we go all my friends right here oh yeah rounds in three one two three finally in 2002 there was the most recent franchise edition of the NFL and the most recent divisional restructuring the Houston Texans were now a thing and so was an eight NFL Division this was a chance to get it right AFC East Pass bill Jets Dolphins had to stay together for the sake of history NFC North Bengals Steelers Browns and Ravens may argue Baltimore doesn't fit, but thank goodness they stayed AFC West Raiders Chiefs Chargers Broncos AFC South Colts Jaguars Titans Texans yeah baby what's going on?

Texans Titans excel in this Division and their rivalry dates back to when Bud Adams took the Oilers out of Houston, unlike Art Modell, who wanted nothing to do with the Browns' past. When he brought the team to Baltimore, Adams was so angry at the city of Houston for not reaching a new agreement for the stadium that he took the uniforms and logos from the record books with him. That's why Houston started from scratch in 2002. Tennessee beat the Texans in their first meeting, come on, let's get it going now, come on, well, this trailer is All About Steve McNairy kept it alive with his run and then finished it off with his pitching .

What a great grip it gives a little time to run out. David Kyle is still alive. take a look, it has been intercepted and that will be the game. Houston has asked permission to use the old Houston Oilers look for retroactive purposes. Not only have Tennessee's owners denied those requests, but they themselves have used the Oilers logo several times over the years. The rivalry also features one of the most intense feuds on the field, as Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan faced off in 2010. Flags fall on Andre Johnson After that, we asked Matt Schaub about the matchup, he said it's always like a street fight when you face Tennessee you have to be willing to bleed your nose against them the new lineup also gave Titans and Jaguars fans a reason to dislike each other the feud began in 1999 both teams had Super Bowl aspirations and both managed to reach the touchdown in the 1999 Conference Championship Game, the confrontation occurred with accusations of theft of the playbook and then, after Tennessee won the game that was played at the Jacksonville Titans, the coach in boss, Jeff Fisher, referred to Jaguar Stadium as one of Tennessee's secondary games and then winning the AFC South. the Jags have a home game in the NFL playoffs, how good is that now for the NFC East Cowboys Giants Eagles commanders geography says once again the Cowboys don't fit in the history books say they do NFC North Bears Vikings Packers Lions no surprise there NFC South Saints Panthers Buccaneers and Falcons, it has been difficult for Tampa Bay to really develop a hatred for any team due to the divisional bounces they have had to make, their current lineup has allowed them to build a history of rivalry with their three interdivisional foes, Panthers. fans in the same boat at some level NFC West 49ers Seahawks Rams and Cardinals the wild NFC West has provided some of the best rival retreats in recent years, man we're going to play like the 49ers Seahawks cooked up some of the best modern meats in 2011.

Pete Carroll Jim Harbaugh Not Fans of Each Other Due to Their College Days, Now They Meet on an Even Bigger Stage Harbaugh Draws First Blood 49ers Beat Seattle as First Two Faced ERS First Three Head-to-Head Matchups of the NFL against Harbaugh before finally getting on the board on his fourth try, a blowout of Seattle, that game was the turning point in the rivalry and Seattle's dominant run to the west would follow Part of that run was the game Richard Sherman playoffs Michael Crabtree in 2013. shoots near the end zone side Richard Sherman The Smith Seahawks are going to run over this baby.

Sherman will make the game-saving play against Crabtree and then endear himself to Niner Empire; that is the result you will not get. 2018 Sherman puts the unthinkable to Seattle's legion of boom signals with his arch nemesis, yes. Yes, that looks ugly on you Seattle, San Francisco met for the second time in the playoffs when they met in 2022, guess what we wanted them, give me everything you have today, man, play for your brother today, all with effort, the 49ers They evened things out. up on that forward touchdown San Francisco alright you're pretty good we're alright let's finish where we started the oldest rivalry in NFL history the Decatur Staleys and the Chicago Cardinals as noted above the Cardinals and the Bears are the only two teams in the NFL that played in the apfa in 1920, that was the first season of the NFL, the Cardinals won the first contest between the two seven to six, but the Bears throughout history were firmly in the lead in the win column and defeats and in what we will call the rivalry by birth status.

As you can see, simply covering the incendiary moments in the rivalry's history is exhausting enough. Help complete the story by adding a written component. Add your favorite or most heartbreaking moments. Add omitted rivalries. Favorite one-on-one rivalries. Maybe that's another chapter for the NFL. He
