Talk:1988–89 NFL playoffs

Untitled
The NFL record and fact book puts both wild card games (AFC and NFC) as being played on Mon Dec 26. I noticed Wikipedia has the AFC as being on Saturday Dec 24 Smith03 (talk) 17:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Which version/year of the NFL Record and Fact Book are you looking at? It might be a typo on that particular version. The ProFootballReference web site says that the Oilers-Browns AFC wild card game was on the 24th. My copy of Total Football (ISBN 0-06-270170-3) says December 24. This preview article from the New York Times says December 24. This recap article from Cleveland.com/Cleveland Plain Dealer says the 24th. Same with the Chicago Tribune's preview article. There are also these recap articles from the Sun-Sentinel and the LA Times that are dated December 25 (thus published the day after the game on the 24th; obviously impossible if the game was played instead on the 26th), and clearly state that the game was played on a Saturday. I can find more articles via a Google search that says it was played on Saturday, December 24, 1988. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply the 2009, 1o and 12 NFLRF has it as Dec 26. I believe the R&F has the wrong date based on the other evidence Smith03 (talk) 15:45, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
