It might actually be New England College's first football win since 1950 - they dropped the sport somewhere around there, came back in 1971, and dropped the sport again affter two winless seasons.
Counting preseason, the Packers and Cardinals played 12 games in 12stadiums from 1953 to 1962.

Memorial (Spokane)
Parade (MIN)
County (MIL)
City Stadium
Sportsman's Park (STL)
Comiskey Park
Orange Bowl (MIA)
Memorial (Austin)
Metropolitan (MIN)
Lambeau
Busch I
Gator Bowl (JAX)
Counting the playoffs doesn't add any 6-stadium streaks, but does add 5-stadium streaks like 2007-2015 Giants-Patriots.

Counting PRESEASON means that the Packers and Cardinals played 10 games in 10 different stadiums from 1954 to 1962.
Rams-Falcons is at 5, but will end after Week 17 unless the game is moved from whatever corporate name the Falcons stadium is called by right now.

Browns-Vikings is at 5 but the next game would have to be played somewhere other than their home stadiums or either London stadium.
Tonight's game repeats the 2021 game at SoFi Stadium.
Post-merger 5-stadium streaks:
2013-now Rams-Falcons (will end Week 17)
1997-2009 Colts-Seahawks
1971-89 and 2010-16 Vikings-Giants
1991-2001 Oilers/Titans-Raiders
1997-99 Oilers/Titans-Ravens
1988-2002 Oilers/Titans-Redskins
1995-2005 Eagles-Seahawks
Answers:
1955-1969 Packers-Cardinals (City Stadium, Comiskey Park, County Stadium, Busch Stadium I, Busch II, Lambeau)
1948-1961 Packers-Giants (Wisconsin State Fair Park, City Stadium, Polo Grounds, Lambeau, Yankee Stadium, County Stadium)
[The 3rd was a data error, apologies.]
Tonight's game will end a run of 6 different Vikings-Chargers games being played in 6 different stadiums (3 in Minnesota, 2 in LA, 1 in SD).

Impossible trivia: Can you name the 3 other NFL matchups where 6 consecutive regular season games were played in 6 different stadiums?
Vertical text in a scorebug is a terrible idea.
A full radio broadcast or a text description would suffice - we're not picky.
We're still looking for video of 1977 Week 7 Giants at Cardinals. None of my usual sources have it. NFL Films doesn't have it. It's hard to believe a MNF game with a NY team doesn't exist, but there you go. So this is a Hail Mary for all collectors!
Auto-transcription has a ways to go.

In 1976, this 49ers touchdown was negated by a 15-yard helping the runner penalty.
"Or Regional Action" would be better.

Chris Hogan was on the Dolphins practice squad in 2012 but never played a game for them.
Answers:

1) Jose Cortez kicked for the 1999 Giants, 2002 Washingtons, 2005 Cowboys, and 2005 Eagles.

2) Quarterback Hunter Enis played for the 1960 Dallas Texans (now the Chiefs), the 1961 San Diego Chargers, the 1962 Broncos, and the 1962 Oakland Raiders in the then-AFL West.
He did play for Pitt but that doesn't count.
Tim Boyle hasn't yet played for the Vikings.
Impossible trivia: There are two players in NFL history who have played a game for all four franchises in one of the current divisions. Who are they?
Also 49 yards by Keon Coleman last year.
