September 9 Gridiron History
September 9th, marks a significant day in the annals of American football history. From the early days of the sport to its modern era, this date has witnessed several pivotal moments that have shaped the game we know and love.
One such event occurred in 1960, when the Denver Broncos and Boston Patriots faced off in the inaugural game of the American Football League (AFL). This historic matchup marked the beginning of a new era for professional football, as the AFL challenged the dominance of the National Football League (NFL). The game not only showcased the talent and competition of the AFL but also set the stage for the eventual merger of the two leagues, culminating in the creation of the Super Bowl.
Following football history daily brings to light the building blocks that make the game we enjoy what it is today.
