Question

When was the last time there was an NFL game between two franchises coached by men who were Hall of Fame players for those same franchises? These teams are in the same division.

Answer

1987, with the Bears (Mike Ditka) and Packers (Forrest Gregg). Ditka coached Chicago from 1982-1992, running into Gregg regularly from 1984 and 1987. Bart Starr preceded Gregg as the Packers’ coach, also facing off against Ditka multiple times.
