NFL Game of the Week

Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants; Green Bay Packers at New York Jets, 1981 (17x9)

Uitzenddatum: Dec 26, 1981

For the first time, both New York NFL teams make the playoffs on the same day. The Giants edge out Dallas in overtime of a 13-10 defensive struggle on Dec. 19, promising the first winning season for any Giants Stadium team. Then on Dec. 20, the Jets stomp Green Bay 28-3 in Shea Stadium. That Jet game ended more than a decade of truly terrible football in the Big Apple. Both the Jets and Giants launched into the NFL playoffs as wild cards.
