Rivalry between two teams isn't really a subject worthy of its own article, unsourced "trivia" to put it bluntly Night  fury  09:47, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Very few sporting rivalries reach the level of notability in and of themselves, and this is one which clearly doesn't. Slightly unusual that - at the time I write this comment - the majority of the games in the tables in the article deal with the Patriots and the Colts, but there's surely a rational explanation there.

 * Weak keep Although I feel there is nothing special about this rivalry, WP:NRIVALRY states Sports rivalries are not inherently notable. Articles on sports rivalries, such as Yankees–Red Sox rivalry, should satisfy the general notability guideline. Although I would have never created something like this, I believe has shown that enough RS have called it a rivalry to satisfy GNG. The article desperately needs a lot of work, but I am happy to help with that if it survives this deletion discussion (not sure it will). -  Galatz  Talk  03:24, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep while I don't think of this as being a major rivalry, I do nonetheless believe there is sufficient sourcing to establish it as a notable rivalry. Lepricavark (talk) 06:05, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
