Sam Spence gets his third-straight post on this blog.  "Classic Battle" is another NFL Films classic that most any football fan will recognize.  As with "March to the Trenches," Classic Battle was only used for the intro of the attached game highlight.  That highlight is the Packers/Cowboys Wild Card game from a couple years ago where Dallas decided to play flag football on defense.  Classic Battle accompanies Chris Berman's recaps of the Ice Bowl and the 1995 NFC Championship Game.  Also, as with "The Equalizer," I don't know exactly when Spence composed this piece or when it debuted on NFL Films.  It's not on any of the old NFL Music LPs, and the earliest album with it I know of is NFL CD 005 Magnificent Eleven from 1996.
