In the Shula era at Miami, he had these weird records against Buffalo
1970-86: 31-3 (a perfect 20-0 in the 70's)
1987-95: 4-17
Marv Levy coached the final seven Bills games of the 86 season, losing once to Miami. He finished up two years after Shula "retired."

I think Buffalo will get there with Miami eventually. It's only 13(?) games right now. Buffalo is on the upswing. Miami needs to rebuild.

It looks like it will be the Steelers at the Patriots for the first Sunday night game.
Here's the schedule:

The Thanksgiving games are Chicago at Detroit, Buffalo at Dallas, and New Orleans at Atlanta. Last year, it was all NFC on Thanksgiving, and in 2017, only one AFC team played on Thanksgiving. I think it should be mandated that the Thanksgiving night game be an AFC vs. AFC matchup in order to balance out the Detroit and Dallas home games.

Only if it's a contest between two original AFL teams/franchises!!

That sounds like something the Remember the AFL guy would say.

Oh, that cut deep, Rupert!
(But it kind of did...)
Still, you were the one clamoring for AFC equity.
I just took it one step further for historical accuracy!

Nice little (in lieu of 100th Anniversary) touch by having Rams play at their very original home, Cleveland, Thurs Night in Week #3.
Any player(s) still alive from that '45 championship squad? Perhaps do the coin-toss, or be presented at halftime, etc.
I wouldn’t have minded seeing the league break the scheduling formula to have the Bears & Cardinals square off Thanksgiving Night...not at Soldier, but at Wrigley (throwback unis, of course)!
