NFL 1989 Season - Week 2 Highlights - THE NFL TODAY

Brent Musburger and Irv Cross discuss the afternoon's action. I have two halftime reports here; the first is from the early games, the second is from the late games (it was doubleheader Sunday). The Eagles were down 20-0 in the first quarter against the Redskins, but come back to win a wild one 42-37. This game is discussed among others.

Falcons, Packers and Eagles all came back and won. So funny.

It's kind of odd that the Packers wore their white uniforms for their home games early in the 89 season. They have always wear their green unifoms in Lambeau Field.

Anyway, i got the Packers-Saints game on DVD, and that was one hell of a game. Don "Majik Man" Majkowski was on fire in the 2nd half and rallied to lead the Packers to victory. Awesome! :)

Those were the days, I remember watching that Jets-Browns game. I like how the backdrop for the scores is blue for the NFC games, red for the AFC games, and green for the inter-conference games.

I was at the Seahawks- Cardinals game in 1989. I will always remember that it was Brian Bosworth's final game in his short pro career.

@Mcnzlea The game in Tampa in 1989 was a CLASSIC... Jim & Max went crazy when Jacke booted the game winner as time expired. Chalk it up to 1989 Packer Majik!

Cleveland had 12 takeaways in the first two weeks??? Wow!

[Mcnzlea]

The week before the Pack decided to make the rare switch to white jerseys at Lambeau because they opened at home against Tampa Bay and heard about Vinny Testaverde's color-blindness and aversion to orange. The Bucs wore white at home in part because of the heat and in part to accomodate Vinny. Didn't matter because Tampa Bay won that day.

Seattle is the only current NFL franchise to have NEVER worn white jerseys for a home game.
