Heading into the 1994 season, the San Diego Chargers were coming off of an 8-8 season under second year head coach Bobby Ross.

There was little to be expected from the team from southern California. After all, the Chargers did lose their top running back and receiver from the season before on offense and their best defensive back to retirement.

Yet with a stunning rally against the rival Denver Broncos in the opening game of the regular season, the San Diego Chargers began the season 6-0 and eventually winning and AFC West title after sweeping the season series against the Kansas City Chiefs led by the great Joe Montana who experts predicted were going the win the division in 1994

In this episode of the podcast, we will go back 30 Years to not only celebrate one of the best seasons in Chargers' history, but one of the most unexpected postseason runs in NFL history.

Later in the show, host Dana Auguster would explain his fandom of then San Diego Chargers despite the fact of growing up in south Louisiana.

Between 1966 and 1971, the Dallas Cowboys was one of the winningest teams in the NFL. Yet the team is best remembered for the games they lost then the games they won.

During a five year period, the Cowboys won five consecutive division championships, played in two NFL title games and a Super Bowl but lost each of them in dramatic fashion, mostly on the last play of the game.

In this edition of the Historically Speaking Podcast we will take a look back at those Cowboy teams that featured several Hall of Fame players and led by a all-time great coach but seemed unable to win that one big game.

At least not until the 1971 season.

Later in the episode we will send a shout out to the quarterback of those teams.

Although not in the Hall of Fame as a player, Don Meredith was one of the most popular players in Cowboy history and used that popularity to become one of the most famous football color analysts in NFL History.
