History isn’t always that old

One of the great things about being a sports Hall of Fame is preserving the past of our sport, the NFL. Sometimes that past is just a couple of days old.

That was the case when the Detroit Lions shipped out a jersey and football from Matthew Stafford’s big day on Sunday. It arrived in Canton late this morning and now has a prominent spot on exhibit in our Pro Football Today Gallery.

It’s really gratifying to see the surprise on our visitors’ faces when they stop and realize that we have something on display from a moment that virtually just happened!

Well, Week 11 is history and now we're onto Thanksgiving weekend.
