Young vs. Kelly, no punter needed, First 2-pt conversion in college football, and Jake LaMotta played possum - This DiSH for Sept. 13

In 1992, San Francisco' Steve Young and Buffalo's Jim Kelly went head-to-head in an offensive air assault. It became the first NFL game with zero punts.

In 1981, the Atlanta Falcons scored 31 points in the 4th quarter against Green Bay to tie an NFL record.

In 2015, Tennessee Titan Marcus Mariotta became the first rookie QB to put together a perfect QB rating in his first start.

In 1958, Florida State's Vic Prinzi became the first player to score a two-point conversion.

In 1951, Jake LaMotta knocked out Laurent Dauthuille with 13 seconds remaining in the bout to retain his Middleweight title.

In 1902, it was the first time the double play trio of Johnny Evers, Joe Tinker, and Frank Chance started at their respective positions. They became famous after the New York Daily Mail's Franklin Pierce Adams wrote the poem ‘Tinker to Evers to Chance’.
