RIP Frank Wycheck. What a play.
This set the Bills back for 21 years.
eh more like 19, Josh Allen started winning big in 2019-2020
A small detail about this play that (to my knowledge) people rarely discuss. Around 4:18, you can see the sideline official immediately come in and put his left arm out, signaling that the pass was a lateral. Dude undoubtedly had the best look at the play and didn’t skip a beat calling it a lateral.
Good pick up.
I've watched this play probably a hundred times and have never noticed that, probably because it was at the top of the screen.
I’ve said that since I first watched it live. The side judge immediately ruled it a lateral
It’s where the ball is to where the ball goes. Not the player position. Watch 3:40-3:50 and it is so obvious. It is close, yes, but definitely not a forward pass
And that probably explains why no call was made on the field. The other officials likely saw the line Judges call.
here's my description of that day . I'm 47 years old now. On that day in 1999. I threw myself face down on my bed with my hands on the side of my head after the Bills kicked the field goal and the game was defiantly "over". My wife came in the room and saw me and said" I'm sorry your team lost." When the Titans scored...that play made jump around like a teenager. i was a 30 year old and a former Houston Oiler fan and still loved the team even though they had moved to Tennesee. Still remembered the severe pain if losing to the Bills in 1992 playoff. It didn't feel like revenge. Just a great memory. Pure euphoria. Great memory.
man!, I was, just like you, a former Oilers fan but I stuck with the team when they moved (still a titans fan!!). I was watching that game and, when the bills kicked The FG, I remember me saying "damn! The bills eliminated us AGAIN AT THE END OF THE GAME!!!!" because that '92 comeback was still a little fresh in my memory but.. just like you, when the titans scored I started screaming and jumping all over the place like a rubber ball LOL! great memories as you said!
same thing. i was on the phone with a buddy of mine as he was working that day. talking him through it and he was teasing me about it. then it happened......the kick was high and short. filed by neal........ i dropped the phone and was yelling and screaming. what a feeling it was!!
35-3
I’m also a long time Oilers/Titans fan since I first watched Warren Moon play a game which made me fall in love with football. The loss to the Bills in 92 will forever live in infamy. I didn’t watch THIS game because it was played on a Saturday but I remember checking the score later that evening and being told that it took a “miracle” for this victory. This turned out to be one of the greatest plays of all time. And to this day, I don’t get tired of watching it.
Blaine Bishop was something else.
RIP to the goat Steve McNair
No disrespect to McNair, but do you know what goat stands for? People are throwing that word around too lightly these days
Steve air McNair man I loved the old days
Goat lol. Not even a hall of famer
@@philipsk he was the goat in our hearts lol
NO PATS JIM he’s not bad
The cool thing about this is that the broadcasters basically articulate exactly what everyone watching was thinking.
1. That was a forward pass
2. Look at the replay: forward pass
3. That’s closer than I thought
4. Holy crap that really was a lateral
That's was one of the happiest days of my life. I cried for hours in joy.
If Flutie had been the starter, there is no 'Music City Miracle' The final score woulda been about 35-14 in favor of the Bills.
@@stephaniegormley9982 You came here to say that 23 years later???🤔
@@ace_woe No, I year later. There was no youtube 23 years ago.
@@stephaniegormley9982a but the bills coach made a dumb fucking decision Benching flutie
This is probably the most underrated miraculous moment in NFL playoffs history. I remember this like as yesterday
Illegal forward pass
@@CharlesB44 No. It was not. A laterally thrown ball is either backward or directly thrown across. Anyone with eyes can see the ball goes either back a little (which is did) or goes straight across.
I’m sorry about Josh Allen. Kid is a beast.
Underrated? It's one of the most famous plays in NFL history.
Lol are u ppl dumbdiddydumb this is litterly one of the most talked about plays ever its litterly called the music city miracle ppl love throwing out overrated like its nothing
It should have and did count. It was a lateral.
RIP Air McNair... One of the toughest QB to ever play in the NFL.....
He necked himself. Just like Robin Williams
Frank Wycheck died today
@@English_MoFo umm no, his gf killed herself after she shot him
@@omt4293 that was Phil Hartman
@@English_MoFo same thing happened to McNair
Rest in Peace Frank Wycheck for making the music city miracle forever
It’s just crazy how perfectly sideways that lateral was thrown.
and people still say it wasn’t lmfao
@@johner3364 Mostly butt-hurt Bills fans.
@@DopeIsotope they had their moment with Frank Reich.
@@jknight1984 Yeah, they should also not loose 4 Super Bowls straight.
Raider fans can relate to this from the 72 immaculate reception. Brutal loss
Who else is here after the passing of Frank Wycheck.
Started one of the great plays in sports history.
RIP Frank.
Same. I had to come back to watch this. Rip Frank
I did not know Frank has passed. Wow. I'm sorry. I re-visit the Music City Miracle once a year, around play off times. Because I was an Oiler fan and missed the team when they left. So I cheered for the Titans. That Music City Miracle and their trip to Superbowl was fantastic.
@@yourhero34 yeah just a memorable play and Wycheck was in the middle of it.
@@sherriec6302 it was. They really were a terrific team! This play will always live on!
Joe Theismann dropping knowledge.
JoeJacobyforHallofFame Talk about a rarity
Guy knows football. Was a goat in his era.
It was a forward pass. 2 minutes later. That looks like a lateral.
@Luke Skyballer Yes he was
@Luke Skyballer idk man I’m an unbiased Jets fan and seems like to this day the bills got screwed 😭
Amazing, and the irony of the heartbreak that would ensue at the SB by missing a game winning touchdown by ONE yard. 🤯
So true man. I thought the titans were gonna pull of another miracle. Didn't happen.
Would have been a game tying touchdown.
@@michaelbrewer9549 With the extra point.
@@jonburrows8602 imagine they had the script where Dyson gets in but the extra point is blocked or fumbled snap
"They still have a prayer but not much more"
chills
Well like honestly that play was fueled by pure hope and the fact that the bills got too cocky. They didn't expect the lateral and focused too much one person, letting someone else get open.
Turns out my beloved Titans had much more 😉 As an Oiler/Titan fan since 1989 I'll admit that when S. Christie made the FG my heart sank. I thought another year would end in Oiler/Titan heartbreak. I thought, 'Well, at least they fought their a$$es off in this game.' *sigh* Things sure changed in a hurry 😁
A bunch of my friends who are Bills fans were high giving and dancing around the room after the Bills kicked that FG. I was rooting for Tennessee. When this happened they stood in stunned silence for a few seconds. When I could hold it no longer, I burst into laughter at their utter misery! Thankfully they didn’t kill me!
3:41 shows all you need to see. Most incredible play in NFL history. You could not replicate that throw in 100 tries.
I'm a lifelong Bills fan and that was a lateral.
@@tjmckenzie4048 i have to give you credit because most Bills fans I meet will never admit it was a lateral
I’m a life long Manchester United fan and that was a home run
It's still a forward pass. The ball started in front of the line, and was caught on the other side of the line. Even if using the other players foot, it's in front of where the ball started.
Watch 3:40 to 3:50. It was parallel to the line if not a few inches backwards
Rip Frank Wycheck. Best lateral ever.
Happy 22nd birthday to the Music City Miracle. One of the best plays in NFL history and biggest moments ever in Nashville
TITANUP 🔥⚔🔥
Not for older Bills fans, who still cry. about it to this day, I know a few personally.
After yesterday's 13 seconds disaster against the Chief, I had to watched this again.
As a Bills fan, I did the same thing. I still can't decide which one is worse. Of the top 5 most painful playoff losses in NFL history, we've been on the losing end of about 3 of those.....
@@drewfranklin4809 I'm a Bills fan too. It's tough being 0-2 in the playoffs in games where you took the lead with 16 seconds left or less.
Who’s here after 20 years!!🥳🥳🥳
I am and was at this game. Had upper deck seats on about the 45 , home field side. I'll never forget when the refs confirmed the call the pandemonium the ensued which seemed like forever out into Broadway. Still have the ticket stub.
I am I remember this game like it was yesterday and it was a lateral. I still remember Phil Luckett!
Me
I was 18 old year and I happy titans beat bills cause I not want jaguars go to super bowl. Thanks titans beat jaguars in afc championship
Coming from a chargers fan. This was the greatest play of my life. It was so incredible. My family is a football fam and they all were like damn bills won and I stayed glued to the TV believing there was time left and anything could happen. I was 9 and super optimistic and sure enough they freaking did it and my family wasn’t even watching…I went crazy and they saw the replays. I never gave up on any game I ever competed in and have been a part of great comebacks
The look of total amazement at 2:08 on McNair says it all. I’ll never forget that day.
I kid you not, i was 20 years old, in the projects, watching with about 20 other people on the only decent tv in the hood. I literally said 'its not over yet" before this play happened. 20 years later. . . still my best sports moment as a Tennessee homer ever!!!
To think that McNair was 1 yard short from a SB win. 1 yard. McNair is one of the most underrated QB in the NFL
Somewhere out there, Doug Flutie is still shaking his head at this game.
3:44 best angle, clear proof of it being a lateral
Jamie Linsday Yeah, you can tell Wycheck applied some spin to the ball, so it would go backwards. It was obviously a well rehearsed play, not something they pulled out of their butts.
Jamie Linsday Also, they clearly used the yard line as a reference. Everything's calculated.
Bills played perfectly right into their hands got all guys to go to one side then Wycheck throws a lateral,, and Dyson had to move back reach his hands to Titans end zone to catch the ball,, also no damn Way Wycheck's arm could be across his chest as the result of a forward pass and not a backward lateral pass.
It's a royal embarrassment Wade Phillips still says the music city mistake no Wade the mistake is how the bills didn't stay in their lanes, not starting Flutie instead for no intelligent valid reason Johnson a guy that didn't get Bills to the playoffs so that goes against it's not broke don't fix it. The Bills undeniably have no 1 except themselves to blame for this embarrassment and glorious choke job with Titans using a perfect miracle play.
Also Adam Schefter still says a mistake, and no doubt others likely mostly Bills fans that refuse to accept the irrefutable truth it's a damn lateral.
Myth busters should confirm the obvious it's a lateral so persons will stop saying the delusional lie it's a forward pass.
The Bills irrefutable lost fair and square, and obvious karma for that gut punch harrowing wildcard defeat when the Billss had the largest comeback for deficit in NFL history to defeat the Houston Oilers, same team that move to Tennessee and change to Titans.
Jason Case karma for putting together the greatest comeback of all time? Why do the Bills deserve unfavorable karma for having one of the best halves in playoff history. Plus, Houston reaped no benefits. They would’ve been better kicking it out of bounds. Don’t forget Rob Johnson took a safety that game. Johnson’s numbers were putrid. If Flutie starts this Bills team loses to the Rams in the Super Bowl. Stay in your lanes.
@@goatmc Because the Titans in a playoffs game got to soul crush the Bills in a Wildcard game.
Karma is a bitch and Bills fans can't accept the irrefutable truth that the Titans used a legal lateral to defeat the infamous choking Bills, and Bills can only blame themselves for this chokejob
One of the GREATEST plays in football history. IMPOSSIBLE.
You almost forget how good ESPN was when they had the Sunday Night Football package. Mike Patrick, Joe Theismann and Paul Maguire were a solid team.
Criminally underrated.
They haven't had a better team since.
Steve McNairs reaction at 2:06 is priceless!!! Damn rip brutha
McNair was just like “hell yeah, they did all the work for me!” 😆
I am NOT a Tennessee Titans fan by ANY means, but that was DEFINITELY a lateral. He threw it from the 25 yard line, Dyson catches it on the 25 yard line.....it was VERY VERY close, but it was a lateral. Truly the Music City Miracle
Anyone else just coming here after the Bill's latest playoff loss? Add 13 seconds on to 16 seconds.
I get chills just hearing these guys call this play. This was a good crew
3:41 by far the best angle
Replay team: *literally doesn’t show it a single other time*
3:41 that's the conclusive angle right there that proved that it was a lateral.
Hard evidence.
@rigoagui are you stupid? it was CLEARLY a lateral...
@A A Listen to Mike Patrick at 4:00. Perfectly said. "It's where the ball is to where the ball goes". The ball was released between the 25 and 26 yard line and was caught on the 25. The positioning of the player's bodies have no bearing on it.
lampini I thought it was a forward pass until I saw that angle of the play
Conclusively a forward pass. Ball on the line when thrown and caught ahead of the line. However, I must brag because I said the winner of this game goes to the Super Bowl before the game even started. They were the two best teams in the AFC.
Will never forget this day. Was watching this at my then girlfriends apartment. As the play was in progress, every room that was connected to hers, you could hear stomping and cheering, plain as day. Normally, it was quiet as a mouse. The cheering and hooting went on for about 2 minutes as they reviewed the play. When it was confirmed, it picked back up and lasted for at least 15 minutes. Outside cars started honking in celebration. It was insanity. Especially for a city who was just excited to even have an NFL team, period.
I remember seeing this and was like are you kidding me. I was 8 or 9 years old when this happened, new to the game, and that was unreal
Titans / Oilers got the Bills back for the comeback.
No
I remember that improbable comeback. Insane.
Ball is released just before the 25 and caught just before the 25.....wow...Packers fan here and thought it was a forward lateral for 18 years Haha it turns out I just had to look at some good ol' replay. Refs made a great call.
When with just ONE play a game makes history and becomes a Legend.
What a play. I remember this game. It was a great time to be alive, and a great time to be a football fan.
18 years later, still the most brilliantly executed play in NFL history. #dontdebateme #forwardlaterral
If you ignore that it was a forward pass and illegal? 😂
If anything it went straight across...def not forward
@@joshuawood1436 cope lmao
@@joshuawood1436 you gonna cry? It wasn’t forward bro
@@jamesa2839djd y'all are the ones getting butt hurt over it. How'd that season end up again, no SB?
I love the moments where you hear in Patrick and McGuire’s breaths that they see it’s a lateral and not a forward pass
7 years old when this happened 😅 still gives me chills
Haha I was 15 and same reaction watching this with some friends . We went nuts argued for a bit then realized it's a legit play
I remember this like it was yesterday. Me and my wife was home watching this. She was pregnant with our daughter (first child). I’m a Eagles fan but stay in Tennessee. So was pulling for the Titans. This was Sick!!!!
I just moved here to Nashville one month before and this was my very first NFL game! My hubby (then fiancé) and I left after the Bills kicked the field goal and we were walking down the ramp towards the parking lot when we heard the crowd scream and cheer so we turned around and went back. We missed the actual play! It was still pretty great to be there though!!
At 3:55 look at official in background he immediately points arm backwards without hesitation indicating lateral.Jeff Fischer I still love you for coming up with that play.I still hate the Bills for going to 4 straight Super Bowls in early 90's preventing my favorite team,Miami from being a real threat
hate your team for losing to Buffalo maybe?
Wide right
"They still have a prayer but not much more."
-Mike Patrick
I was in high school at the time I'll never forget this game I felt So bad for the Bills and there fans The only NFL team That not only went to the Super Bowl what 4 or 5 times but lost all there Super Bowls So Damn F*** sad 😞😱 !!!!!
The Vikings also lost all 4 of their Super Bowls, the difference is the Bills did it 4 years in a row.
I still get teared up watching this. #TitanUp
Me, too. We just beat the Texans, and are now #1 Seed. Tears are flowing. Had to come back and watch this Music City Miracle. I remember it as if it were yesterday. Wow! May the Titans go all the way and WIN it! All 89 activated players worth! What a season!
I was so lucky to be there. Best moment of my life.
Also, this is why you never leave a game early. I know several people who did and only got to hear the roars of us in the stands.
what a game to leave early wow
@@foxfire1112 I know!! I'd regret that my whole life lol
This was the first NFL playoff game I ever watched. Needless to say, I was hooked from then on
It was a PERECT LATERIAL!!!!!!
I was there ❤! Will never forget it! Titan tf Up!
💪🏻⚔️‼️
"16 seconds left they still have a prayer....but not much more."
Classic commentary!
RIP Steve McNair. You were taken from us too soon. I love his reaction at 2:07, he’s pretty much like “hell yeah, they did all the work for me!” Lol
The Titans avenged "The Comeback" with this play
They’ve got 3 seconds but it’s OVER!!
Lol
There was damn near 0% chance they were gonna get it
This is one of those plays that you will always remember if you saw it......I was lucky enough to see it, same with Buffalo's 32 point comeback win over Houston. These games will be immortalized.
McNair's reaction is priceless
Definitely remember watching this.... man time flies
I was at work at a hospital in Houston Texas, and the game was playing on a television in the break room...I walked through the door as the kick-off happened and saw most of it...My reaction was loud enough that I was reported to my supervisor, and did get into some trouble, but in the end it was worth the trouble I got into to see the play...As a kid I grew up in Houston with the Oilers and can remember the mess of a blown call in the 1980 AFC Championship game between Houston and Pittsburg, so again the trouble was with it just to see it as it happened...
Gotta love moments like this in sports whwn everyone is at the edge of there seats
The beauty of irony, win the AFC Championship because of inches and lose the Super Bowl because of inches.
@Luke Skyballer 11.5
And it was the same guy too
they would have tied the game, always bugs me that people act like they were driving to win
It's like Franco Harris catching the ball and running it in for the T.D!!!
I remember watching this when I was 14 at my dad's dealership on a small ass black and white portable battery powered TV. and I remember watching the entire game and then being blown away by the final miracle play , and then to top it off they lost the superbowl by like 4 feet......
I remember watching this like it was yesterday. Funniest thing ever. But the lateral pass shown here was one of legend. No NFL lateral pass since has come this close. Imagine the emotional highs and lows of this great game?😆
This never gets old. Then, Dyson is stopped a yard short from tying the Super Bowl. The announcer called it the ‘sequel’ to the movie “The Longest Yard”.
You just had to bring that up
My parents were at that game I was 3 in 2000 and I’m 21 now. My dad said fans started leaving the game when bills scored the field goal and people started leaving and tried coming back in to see what had happened
Carson Dugger thanks for sharing that! And you and I have the same age my friend
Very true. I was a junior at ut. My dad and I went and bought scalped tickets for $50/each which put us up at the absolute top row. We stayed. It looked like ants being vacuumed, watching the early leaving no-faith fans run back into adelphia.
I was 19.
I was at the game with my family. This is why my dad still refuses to leave a game early 20 years later.
Will Gray smart man.
I was on my way home from duck hunting that day. I listen to the game on the radio. When the bills kick that field goal and left 16 seconds left on the clock I was so upset I switched the station and listen to music all the way home. I had stopped, got gas, ate at Denny's. Never switching back to the sports radio I was listening to 2 hours later when I got home my message machine was lit up like a Christmas tree! Nothing but" dude you guys are so lucky." Or "man you guys robbed the bills"
I had no idea what they were talking about. There was no internet. I didn't have cable TV. I finally saw what happened on the 5 local news. The best day of my life as a football fan
there was internet in 2000
@@jordankyte9203 not at my house lol
I remembered this play that got me into the NFL more than anything else. I was little when this happened and ill never forget this for as long as I live
The Titans had a nice streak there for a few years and if it wasn't for the Ravens and their incredible defense, they would have gone back to the SB at least once more.
Yeah ray lewis murdered us.
16 years later... and this still makes me vomit. =_=; ... Thought I got over it as a kid.
Possible ou'll never get over this because it's a harrowing frustrating awful defeat.
If the Bills won a Super Bowl maybe you would get over this.
Fierce Loyal Cubs fan I utterly hated how they didn't finish 2003 vs Marlins in the Playoffs, except I could finally let go when they advanced to the World Series and defeated the Indians in 7 games to end their World Series Drought winning 2016 in Cleveland.
lol same man
That’s how us titan fans feel about the Super Bowl lol
I was 13 when this happened, im now 38. I watched it live and I remember it being played non stop for weeks on replay lol. Good memories of a simpler time and the game of football. Im a texans fan.
One of the VERY FEW great moments in Oiler/Titan POST SEASON history.
Anyone here after saints vs Vikings?
me
Me too. I think this ending rivals the Vikings as far as a team needing a miracle at the very end of a playoff game.
. .
Daniel Coleman me
Bills: I can’t believe we choked that one away
Saints: Hold my beers...yes I did say beers as in more than one 😔
This was the first time i saw a NFL playoff game and i cant believe this game ended like it did. This game, the Min/NO finish, the ARZ/GB finish in 15 are 3 of the most underrated walkoff moments in NFL playoff history
Who’s here after the bills first playoff win in 25 years
What a moment it was for the Titans....kind of bad how it all ended in Houston, and this game marked the fresh new breath of life in Tennessee. As much as I hate seeing them keep the Oilers history (Im a Texans fan now), I guess they deserve it. Remembered this game like it happened yesterday. Then the 1 yard short against the greatest show on Turf. What a year. Maybe the Texans can take some notes from the 99 Titans season. We've been in the league 20 years now!
What a remember from this game is that the Buffalo Bulls owner was a tactical genius for demanding that Doug Flutie be benched for the game. That saved the Bills fans a lot more heartache. Imagine if the Bills had won this game but lost yet another Super Bowl… Thank god the owner stepped in and saved them
The best play o have ever seen in a football game bar none. Excellent design and even better execution
+David Ford the only problem is that it was a forward pass
+dani holo Lol butthurt
+dani holo That was a lateral all day. Take a look at 3:41 and you can see the ball start to drift backwards before Dyson catches it. Look at the football in relation to the solid white yard line. Don't look at the players. You got to watch the football.
d bans you’re an idiot if you think that or a bills fan
Imagine if this was for the AFC championship! So happy titans won!
The thing that stuck out to me when watching this live was how quick Mike Patrick while announcing was saying it was definitely a forward pass. However if you look at the play, the line judge immediately signaled that it was a lateral… he was moving up field and was almost right even with it.
RIP to Frank Wycheck. He passed away Saturday, December 8, 2023 at the age of 52. What a legend. 😢😢😢😢
what happens when you bench Doug Flutie....
Doug Flutie was a best! the bills could have won the game easily if he wasn't benched. the bills team had been cursed to lose games in the last minute.
Sweet revenge from that game the oilers lost after. Wing in front 35-3. As an oilers_Titans fan It was one of the happiest days of my life. I even spit my milk out after I thought we’d Lost again to these Bills
Whenever I am feeling down,,, I just play this video, and BOOOM there it is!🤩😁
That play took 13 seconds. how crazy that it is after the chiefs game
Bills fans are always gonna be upset, but you cannot deny it was a lateral when you look at this 3:41 shot. A lateral even counts if it ends up on the same yard, as long as it doesn't advance forward any. You can clearly see the ball goes back at least half a yard.
Let is rest Bills fans, you guys played hard but got beaten by a miracle. Tennessee deserved that win
Doesn't matter Shitasee lost the SB
The best titans game in history
The worse Titans game in history. But then, the greatest sixteen seconds of Football in history.
And the second worst game in Bills history.
Until they beat the Patriots and the Ravens this year, that was awesome. As a Steelers fan, I loved it.
Nope when they beat my jas you guys went to your first super bowl I literally broke my tv
@@crowtservo I’d say the Patriots one was the best because they literally beat Belichick at his own game.
Wade Phillips reaction was priceless
This was my 13th birthday. I went from jumping with excitement to utter disbelief and heartbreak in seconds. I will never not believe that this would have happened had they started Flutie.
True Buffalo Bills cursed themselves by not starting Doug Flutie.
As a 13 year old titans fan at the time I remember being so thrilled that they weren't starting flutie. That guy was a wizard.
Haha Titan up !!!!! ⚔️
6:00 Best part of the video "Whoop there it is!" again.
Parker Cocolo I forgot that was a thing 20 years ago until I heard it. Lol
My 80 year old father just used that phrase this week!!!
And they stole that from Buffalo too.
One of the greatest plays in NFL history. Poor Buffalo, you can add “13 seconds” in 2021 to the playoff heartbreak.
Bad to the bone was on during that play i think thats what hyped them up
these were the best commentators in the day too
Come on now 11 years old mcnair was my hero i can still.smell moms cooking that day lol nd i cried when i thought the titans lost this game lol
Same I was 10 and still remember watching live. Loved McNair rip brother
One of the major reasons why this play was so important was because this was the first year of Instant Replay. It was a controversial addition to the game, and what better play to put it to the test than this play? The refs definitely had a huge job here and they made the right call.
Replay is very important. So glad it proved it’s worth with this moment.
No, it was the first use of instant replay *after* it was reintroduced in the NFL. NFL had replays for officials before, and removed it several seasons later. After 1999 the league and teams voted if Instant replay should be reintroduced for officials to use, which was overwhelmingly voted yes. This is the first play it was used on since it was reimplemented, but not the first ever use of Instant replay
@@JackTheripper911 Yes but this was a different Instant Replay. This was the modern instant replay system. For example, refs now reviewed the footage on the field instead of in the skyboxes with a replay official. Also, refs were only given 90 seconds to make a call.
Came back after watching Eddie on First Take. Class act.
The Home Run Throwback, as this play was called, was not supposed to ever see the light of day. But it was designed and practiced for moments just like this one. Ironically the coach who invented it went on to Buffalo the very next season where they too practiced it.
After watching this a dozen times in convinced it's a lateral
like how he said for the game
The first bills game I remember bieng that I was born in 92. Still sticks in my mind my parents and family members screaming at the tv and this started the 17 year playoff drought that is oh so painful 😔
Theismann nailed the call.
