The New Orleans Breakers and Memphis Showboats were two of the teams that played in the United States Football League (USFL) during the league’s original run from 1983 to 1985.
The Breakers were based in New Orleans, Louisiana and played at the Louisiana Superdome. They were coached by Dick Coury and had notable players such as quarterback Johnnie Walton, running back Marcus Dupree, and wide receiver Frank Lockett.
The Showboats were based in Memphis, Tennessee and played at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. They were coached by Pepper Rodgers and had notable players such as quarterback Jim Kelly, running back Tim Spencer, and wide receiver Greg Moser.
The two teams played each other several times during the USFL’s three-year run. The most memorable matchup between the Breakers and Showboats was the 1985 season opener, which was a high-scoring affair that saw Memphis win 48-33.
It’s worth noting that the USFL that existed in the 1980s is different from the revived USFL that is scheduled to start playing in the spring of 2023.
