The Titans and Texans played the first one on November 24, 1960. In a typical shootout, the Titans won 41-35, witnessed by 14,344 fans according to the NY Daily News---the highest scoring AFL game so far in its nascent season. <br /><br />In one of the more exciting games of the 1962 season, the nearly bankrupt Titans traveled to Bears Stadium in Denver on November 22 (exactly one year before the JFK assassination) and nipped the Broncos 46-45. <br /><br />On November 23, 1967, the AFL stated playing doubleheaders with Oakland beating KC 44-22 followed by the Chargers winning against the visiting Broncos 24-20.<br /><br />For a year-by-year rundown, check this link. Some of the AFL Thanksgiving games were more competitive than their NFL counterparts. http://www.remembertheafl.com/AFLThanksgiving.htmJD Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882261865750361495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-63351929952385606662022-11-24T13:09:48.628-05:002022-11-24T13:09:48.628-05:00Many thanks, my friend, and the same to you!Many thanks, my friend, and the same to you!Mitchell Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695771505209080030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-32533098353238783682022-11-23T20:29:48.893-05:002022-11-23T20:29:48.893-05:00I am thankful for the effort and passion you put i...I am thankful for the effort and passion you put into this site, Mitchell.
