The AFL makes its regular-season debut as the Denver Broncos defeat the Boston Patriots, 13-10, before about 21,000 fans in Boston. The eight-team league marks the first serious challenge to the National Football League since the All-American Football Conference ended operations in 1949. (The NFL and the AFL would merge in 1966, with the first Super Bowl in January 1967.)
