It’s almost that time of year for football fans! NFL season is here and with it brings some exciting and thrilling games. 1984 was an exciting year for the NFL. That year, there were a total of eight regular season games counted. Each NFL team had four games that were home games and four games that were away games.
Every season, I get so excited when my team plays in a home game. Sure, away games are fun too, but nothing beats the feeling of cheering for your team in the comfort of your own stadium. One of the most memorable games had to have been when my team played the San Francisco 49ers in 1984. Even though we lost, it was an incredible game. Both teams were so evenly matched; the game went into overtime and was only decided by a field goal!
I remember when the San Francisco 49ers came out during warm-ups – they were huge! They looked like a team of giants. But my team was no slouch either, they were fired up and ready to win. It was an incredible battle between two great teams.
The crowd was cheering and chanting all throughout the game. The atmosphere was electric and the sound of the crowd was deafening. Even though it was a tragedy that we lost, it was an unforgettable experience to be a part of. I was a part of something special that day – I was a part of a game that will be remembered in NFL history.
The season for the NFL teams in 1984 was grueling. Playing eight games in a season is no small feat. Each team had to physically and mentally prepare for each game. That means a lot of hard work and dedication throughout the season. The players had to stay motivated and push through the fatigue and injuries in order to make it through the entire season.
It’s amazing to me just how far the NFL has come since 1984. Games have become more intense, the level of competition has risen, and the stakes are higher than ever. But no matter how much things have changed, I will always remember the exciting games of 1984 and the feeling of anticipation before each one.
