Chargers 41, Giants 34 at the Meadowlands, ’83. Coryell vs Parcells, Brunner actually outplaying Fouts statistically.

Real good ones, guys! Some that I did think of a bit upon posting this thread, some that I wasn't aware of previously.

How about these two, and from the same (opening, '81) week…

Chiefs 37 STEELERS 33

Oilers 27 RAMS 20
