It’s Monday… which means it’s time for another edition of Gridiron Oddities — the strangest, most unbelievable stories from NFL history as we count down to Week 1.

Last week, we kicked things off with a trio of Napoleons. This week, we’re diving into some of the most one-sided rivalries the league has ever seen, the kind that haunt fanbases for decades.

One-Sided NFL Rivalries

The NFL is home to some of the greatest all-time rivalries — Bears-Packers, Ravens-Steelers, 49ers-Cowboys. But not all clashes are made equal.

Let’s start with a recent streak-breaker:

🟩 The Jets and Eagles have faced off 13 times since 1973. The Eagles won the first 12.
Twelve. Straight.
It took 50 years before the Jets finally got their revenge in 2023.

And some streaks? Still alive.

🟥 The Packers have never won a game in Buffalo. They’re 4-0 against the Bills at Lambeau since 1997… But when the matchup shifts east, Buffalo is a perfect 7-0.

Now flip the script same team, different struggle.

🟦 From 1970 to 1979, the Bills lost 20 straight games to the Dolphins. You read that right: 0-20 over the entire decade. Miami averaged a 13-point margin of victory, including a 45-7 blowout in 1970.

🏆 The Dolphins were dominant: Don Shula even became the first NFL coach to notch 100 wins in just 10 years after a 20-0 win over the Patriots.

But Bills fans weren’t the only ones haunted by the Fins…

🟥 From 1970 to 1985, the Patriots lost 16 straight road games in Miami.
Twelve of them were double-digit losses including a 52-0 drubbing during Miami’s perfect season in 1972.

And then there’s the streak that defined the NFC North:

🟨 The Lions lost 24 straight games at Lambeau Field, spanning nearly three decades. Green Bay averaged 28 points per game during the run, winning 11 division titles while Detroit claimed just one.

But that streak finally ended in 2015… and the tide has turned.

Since then, the Lions are 6-4 at Lambeau and currently sit atop the North.

The moral of the story?
No matter how lopsided a rivalry might look, the tide does turn. Hang in there, Packers fans… that win in Buffalo is coming one day.

To make up for last Friday, here’s your second throwback of the day! Two absolute legends stepped away from the game on this date, both leaving behind championship legacies and Hall of Fame worthy impact.

On July 11, 2000, Michael Irvin officially retired from the NFL. A fierce competitor and emotional leader, Irvin was the heart of the Cowboys’ dynasty during the 1990s. The former 1st-round pick out of Miami helped Dallas win three Super Bowls, earned five Pro Bowl selections, and was named First-Team All-Pro in 1991.

He racked up 750 catches, 11,904 receiving yards, and 65 touchdowns and set a then-record with 11 100-yard games in a single season (1995). His career came to a sudden end after a spinal cord injury in Philadelphia in 1999. Though the hit ended his playing days, it couldn’t tarnish his Hall of Fame legacy. He was enshrined in Canton in 2007.

On the same day in 2011, Mike Vrabel called it a career after 14 seasons. Originally a third-round pick by the Steelers, Vrabel’s career took off after signing with New England in 2001. He became a centerpiece of the Patriots’ defense during their early dynasty, winning three Super Bowls, making clutch plays on both sides of the ball including touchdown catches in two Super Bowls and becoming one of the most respected leaders in the league.

He wrapped up his playing days with the Chiefs, then quickly rose through the coaching ranks, eventually becoming 2021 Coach of the Year with the Titans. Now in 2025, he returns to Foxborough as the new head coach of the Patriots, ready to bring toughness, pride, and discipline back to New England.

On this day in 1926, the Los Angeles Buccaneers were officially formed as an NFL franchise.Despite the name, the team never actually played in L.A. They were a traveling team made up of California college stars that barnstormed the country.

The Bucs lasted just one season, going 6-3-1, but they were part of the league’s first big push to grow football beyond the Midwest.
A forgotten team with a unique story in the league’s early days.

Blaine Bishop on what it was like to play at Veteran’s Stadium in Philadelphia. “That place was a ruckus” as he put it. Especially when Dallas and other NFC East rivals came to town.
