The #NYR couldn't win a home game if their lives depended on it last year. They're 3-0 to start the season

OTD in 1991, the Oilers hammer the Broncos 42-14 at the Astrodome to move to 4-1 on the season. The defense led the way in this one, despite the final score, highlighted by 6 sacks, including 5 of the elusive John Elway, and Cris Dishman's 19-yard FR TD which put the home team ahead 28-0 in the second quarter. Things got off to a rocky start for Denver when Bubba McDowell recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for an early 7-0 Houston lead. Two one-yard scores by Allen Pinkett and Lorenzo White gave the Oilers a 21-0 lead before Dishman pounced on a Steve Sewell fumble for the 4-touchdown lead. In the 4th, after an Elway 70-yard bomb to Ricky Nattiel, Pinkett put a final nail in Denver's coffin when he took a Warren Moon pass 36 yards for the major. In addition to his FR TD, Dishman also picked off Elway and returned it 43 yards. William Fuller had 3 sacks and forced an Elway fumble, which he recovered, while Sean Jones added 2 sacks of his own. McDowell chipped in with a sack of his own. Ian Howfield kicked 6 extra points. #LuvYaBlue

OTD in 1996, the Oilers move to 3-2 thanks to a 30-27 victory over the Bengals in OT at Cinergy Field in a Sunday Night AFC Central battle. Teams exchanged leads all game up until a Derek Russell 7-yard TD from Chris Chandler tied things up at 27 late in the 4th. Al Del Greco's 49-yarder in OT proved to be the difference. Chandler threw for 193 yards with 2 TDs and a pick, while rookie Eddie George shredded the Bengals' D for 152 yards on 26 carries, which included a 45-yard TD scamper in the 3rd quarter. Frank Wycheck led all receivers on the night with 7 catches for 59 yards and a TD, though he did put a football on the turf which was returned for a touchdown by Cincy's Corey Sawyer. #LuvYaBlue

Defund the @CBC
The CBC has replaced Hockey Night in Canada with the Super 60 Cricket tournament. This is real.
