Any Given Wednesday
[object Object] undefined
Great '60s sitcom, and part of an era's preoccupation with utter escapism.
The last time an NFL game was played on a Wednesday was in 1948 when the Rams beat the Lions, 44-7. That will change on Sept. 5 when the Giants host the Cowboys in the NFL opener.
It will be the first time the Giants play on a Wednesday in nearly 78 years. They are also 2-0 all-time in regular-season openers played on Wednesdays.
