NFL schedules 16 legacy games to honor history of American Football League

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL will stage 16 games this season to honor the American Football League, which turns 50 in 2010.

In announcing the 16 matchups Tuesday, the NFL said the eight original AFL teams will wear historic uniforms.

Eleven legacy games will be matchups between those original AFL teams: Buffalo, New England, San Diego, Denver, Oakland, Tennessee, Kansas City and the New York Jets. The Chargers actually began life in Los Angeles in 1960, while the Titans were the Houston Oilers and the Chiefs were the Dallas Texans. The Jets were known as the New York Titans back then.

The first legacy game is during the preseason, when Buffalo plays Tennessee in the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio on Aug. 8.

On the first Monday night of the regular season, a doubleheader will feature Buffalo at New England, followed by San Diego at Oakland. On Sept. 27, the current Titans are at the former Titans: Tennessee at the Jets.

On Oct. 11, New England is at Denver, while the following weekend has Tennessee at New England on Oct. 18, Denver at San Diego on Oct. 19.

San Diego visits Kansas City on Oct. 25 in another legacy game, followed by the Jets at the Raiders.

Buffalo is at Tennessee and Kansas City at Oakland on Nov. 15.

Another legacy game has the Dallas Cowboys, wearing their jerseys from 1960-1962, at Kansas City on Oct. 11. From '60-62, the Texans and Cowboys shared the Cotton Bowl before the Texans moved to Kansas City to become the Chiefs.

On Nov. 1, the Miami Dolphins, who joined the AFL as an expansion team in 1966, visit the Jets. On Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, Oakland visits the Cowboys. Three days later, Miami is at Buffalo. On Dec. 8, the final legacy game has New England at Miami.

Game-worn jerseys and signed memorabilia will be auctioned off throughout the season, with money raised going to the NFL Player Care Foundation.

The AFL began in 1960 and lasted through 1969, when a merger with the NFL became official. The two leagues began playing championship games in the 1966 season, although the title game was not called the Super Bowl until the 1969 match between the Jets and Baltimore Colts.

yea ok but its not like you remember the afl, youre not that old...right?

[ice grillin you]

yeah and you dont remember the buddy ryan eagles

whats your point

[rjs246]

Isn't that old news?

[QB Eagles]

That AFC legacy thing is good idea, except for the two Cowboys games, which are complete bullshtein. The Cowboys were not in the AFL and have zero right to play in those games. Just more special treatment of the Cowboys by the NFL.

[Sgt PSN]

jerrah needs the revenue from the "throwback" jerseys to help pay for a new practice facility. 

[MDS]

yeah and you dont remember the buddy ryan eagles

whats your point

how could i remember that. it ended when i was 4. and thusly i dont cream my pants at the sight of wes hopkins or cry at the thought of jerome brown dieing. before my time. i understand their place in eagles history, but its just history.

so you hate the kelly green jerseys because you didnt see them live?

again what is your point?

[MDS]

well the 1995 eagles played in them so i do remember those jerseys.

but basically its something you never experienced so therefore its nothing to crazy over

[ice grillin you]

i cant think of to many things to get more excited about than awesome throwback jerseys being rocked...

only thing that would make it better if it was kelly green or 80 superbowl green eagle jerseys...but you dont know those cause you werent alive then so that probably wouldnt be exciting to you
