What a great coincidence – The only two 19-8 scorelines in the history of the National Football League have occurred exactly 96 years apart.

October 12, 1927 – The New York Yankees (No connection other than playing at Yankee Stadium) defeated the Buffalo Bisons 19-8 in Buffalo.

Funnily enough, the 1927 Yankees (aka Ruth, Gehrig and Murderers’ Row) won the World Series 4 days before this game was played, the Buffalo Bisons name was later revived as a Triple-A baseball team in 1979, who are now the affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, and it wouldn’t be the last time a team called the Yankees won a game 19-8 in October, as the Yankees defeated the Red Sox 19-8 at Fenway Park in Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS… the Yankees went on to lose the next 4 games.

October 12, 2023 – The Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Denver Broncos 19-8.

Another fun fact – The Yankees still own the baseball playing rights to Broncos QB Russell Wilson, who was a second baseman in college at NC State before committing to football, he got drafted by the Colorado Rockies in 2010 and played two seasons of minor league, was then picked up by the Texas Rangers in 2013 (After his rookie season in the NFL), attended Spring Training in 2014 & ’15, then the Rangers allowed him to fulfill a childhood dream by trading him to the Yankees in 2018, and he made a plate appearance during Spring Training that year, which ended with a 2-ball strikeout.

And to make this even stranger…

The team from New York that was named after a baseball team and used to share Yankee Stadium with the Yankees (The New York Giants) play a team from Buffalo, in Buffalo, on Sunday.
