First Ever NFL Game | Dayton Triangles vs. Columbus Panhandles

What teams played in the first-ever NFL game? Last week we discussed the first game featuring an NFL team with the Rock Island Independents, but they didn't take the cake when it came to the first official game between two NFL (APFA at the time) teams. The Dayton Triangles hosted the Columbus Panhandles at Triangle Park on October 3, 1920, to earn that honor. The Triangles beat the Panhandles 14-0 to earn the first official regular-season victory in NFL history. Unfortunately, this was the crowning moment for the Triangles. You can learn more about one of the original 14 NFL teams on this week's episode. So strap on your seat belt, and let's get this baby up to 88MPH.
