In this episode we are getting you ready for Week 4 of the NFL regular season by looking back at four games that are rematches from famous games from years past to evoke good memories for some while for others, not so much.

This week we will begin with a game that a lot of people including myself, consider as the most important game in the history of the New Orleans Saints.

Not only it was significant for the team, but after certain events that happened to the city of New Orleans, it was so important for that city.

And of course against of all teams, the Atlanta Falcons.

Speaking of important games, there was another game on another Monday night, that put another southern city on the map thanks to a Heisman trophy rookie running back that still remains as a lone star legend and also introduced a very colorful era for an NFL franchise.

Finally a pair of frigid playoffs games.

One of them features a famous play call that became the bane of that city's existence now for close to 50 years.

Then another post season game, an NFC championship game that not only saw a traditional loser reach the promise land but also closed the door on one of the NFL’s most infamous stadiums.

In this week’s brief NFL episode, we have three games from back in the day that are rematches in this weeks slate of games in the National Football League.

Moving chronologically, we have a game from the sixties that features a team that is off to a quick start here in the 2024 season. The game we will highlight was this teams first ever win in franchise history that took place in one of football’s most famous stadiums.

The game from the 70s features a pair of teams that have started 2-0 on this young season. Yet back in 1973 when these two teams faced each other, both teams were going in total opposite directions.

This game, which was a total blowout marked the end of a career for one Hall of Fame quarterback who was replaced by another signal caller that would end up in Canton who sparked a comeback that fell short.

And finally in the game from the 1980’s, we have two long time NFC rivals meeting in the playoffs for the first time ever and in a conference championship game no less.
