A bit off topic but I loved the early games of 1968-1969. The '68 game was played in a rainstorm and the '69 game in the snow. Those were the good old days.

Excellent knowledge-drops, gang!! A lot of stuff I never knew before!

I'm sure that there's a number of teams who still have yet to play at Detroit and, likewise, at Big D on Turkey Day!

That 68 game was the Eagles' first win of the season after an 0-11 start. They then beat the Saints and ended up losing out in the OJ Sweepstakes.
