Let's look back on January 27, 1991. On that day, the Super Bowl XXV was held in Tampa, Florida. The Giants defeated the Bills with a score of 20-19, which made this the closest game in Super bowl history. This game became the first and only Super Bowl decided by one point, and it all came down to Scott Norwood's 47-yard field goal in the final seconds of the game.

Let's look back on November 17, 1968. On this day, The Oakland Raiders defeated the New York Jets in the Heidi Game with a score of 43-32. The Jets were initially leading but then NBC changed the live broadcast and began to screen the film, "Heidi." This caused the viewers to miss the Raiders comeback at the end of the game. Now NBC makes sure all games stay on the television until it is finished.

Today we celebrate freedom.
