TRUE STORY: The day this game aired, I remember thinking at halftime that the game was over, so I took a nap and had set my alarm so I'd wake up right when the next game was to start. When I woke up and turned on the TV, the very first thing I heard was, "... the greatest comeback in the history of the National Football League." It's nice to finally see what I slept through.
I was at this game..only 7 years old at the time and my father said let's leave like everyone else was at halftime. Idk why but I said I wanted to stay so we stayed. Good thing we did. I remember fans who left trying to break back into the stadium. Such great memories from that era...minus the 4 straight superbowl losses of course lol
This game is legend in Buffalo for sure. Some fans gave up at halftime and left just to get out of the cold. Fans in the nosebleed seats had an opportunity to come down to empty seats and get a better view of the biggest comeback win in NFL history.
Steve Christie kicked off. Scott Norwood was booted so fast even though they had a holding penalty beforehand. Scott Norwood was doing awful 3 years prior to that.
I was there!!!! My Dad lived right off of Abbott and at half time he said "wanna see the game?!" because everyone had left and the gates were open. We walked up, sat at the 50 yard line, and watched the greatest comeback in NFL history! I'm going to make sure I watch this before it disappears!
This game wasn’t televised in Buffalo. I listened to it on the radio and wound up being late for work because I wasn’t going to miss the end of this one for my stupid telemarketing job. It’s great to see this game in full. Totally inspiring!
jamesmiller1972 there would 0% chance of a playoff game in buffalo not selling out now.. this had to have just missed being sold out, and prob bc Kelly was hurt...
And the saddest part of both their deaths were they were both sudden and unexpected. It’s not like they were sick and loved ones had time to mentally prepare 😕

Loved Andre Reed. He was absolutely fearless coming across the middle. A very unselfish teammate and a great guy too. Instead of making his Hall of Fame speech all about himself he made it into a tribute to his former QB...Jim Kelly...who was suffering from cancer at the time. One of the best receivers I've ever seen after the catch as well. Very deserving of the HOF.
I agree andre was a warrior.. One of the most physical recievers of all time..every defensive player wanted to take his head off(because he was jim Kelly's main guy)..but he never got hurt and continued to play over the middle
My parents went this game and were telling me how people were trying to climb over the fence to get back in once they realized the bills were coming back
Yeah the problem was they had the ingredients but they had the wrong formula. They had a talented defense, a great O-line and good runningbacks so they should have drafted some tight ends and fullbacks and played smashmouth football. If Buddy Ryan was the coach they would have gone further or hell Bum Phillips.
I remember my dad said the game was over and he was going to stack firewood. I kept watching though and yelled to him every Bills TD. When it got to 35-31 he ran back in and we watched 🙂
My dad turned the game off at 35 to 3. I went upstairs to watch, about 20 minutes later, I walked downstairs and said it 35-24.. We watched the rest of this amazing comeback together.
I have to say, what a great game to watch. It wasn't over-officiated, and the late Charlie Jones and especially the late Todd Christensen did a GREAT job with the broadcast.
@@ruthgoldblum919 If there were instant replay the oilers don't lose. Bebee ran out of bounds and ran back inbounds for the td catch amongst other calls that would have been overturned.
I'm sad we lost that day, but the memories of my dad cussing up a storm as Houston crumbled will live with me forever, love you always dad! We may not have agreed on many things, but watching the Oilers, I will cherish forever, man I miss those days.
Yeah it was classic. NFL was so awesome than. They played for the game and nothing else. My house were Bills fans but I never hated the Oilers. I was actually a Warren moon fan
Naghavi, Stop crying. It was one td. Beebe stepped out of bounds. But they would've still scored on that drive anyway. Houston's defense was pourous. If you look closely, you can literally see the Houston players choking on their sideline.
Houston has done everything it could to get the rights but Tenessee won't surrender the rights. Even thought the titans do nothing with the history of the team prior to Tenessee
+Nicholas Rivera My condolences, I sympathize. I would have loved to see them win 4 super bowls in a row. God! I hate the Cowboys. They should have won their 1st one. For lack of a kicker.
You guys seem to be near the end of your rebuild, now that Brady is a lot worse and may actually leave New England next season, this will be your time to shine -Chiefs fan
This game was actually blacked out in Western NY and Southern Ontario--listened to the game on WBEN-930 radio Buffalo--with the late Van Miller calling the play by play-when the score went to 35-3 Houston I turned off the radio--as I couldn't listen to this anymore---went out for a walk just to forget about this--when I came home and turned on the radio to here how bad the final score was--the score was 38-35 Buffalo--and ultimately they won in OT-a memory I will never forget
It was blacked out in most of northwestern Pennsylvania as well. Both WGRZ and WICU in Erie were subject to the 75-mile rule, and those were the two stations that served the northwestern counties in the state at the time of this game. I only got to watch it because the town we lived in also had the NBC station from Youngstown, Ohio on its cable lineup in addition to the Erie station.
I remember this game SOOooo well. I was mad at myself because I overslept. The second half had just started, so it was already 28-3. I couldn't believe it. I almost turned the TV off when the Oilers went up 35-3. But I was shipping out to Parris Island (USMC boot camp, for those that don't know) only three days later. Since I would miss the rest of the playoffs, I decided to tough it out and continue watching my Bills get slaughtered. What. A. Sendoff.
I remember I was at work during this game. We had a radio blaring the play-by-play throughout the warehouse and could not believe how it ended up. One of the most Incredible comebacks up until SB LI last Sunday!! Thanks for posting this NFL.
crowtservo because they were still called the oilers in Tennessee for a bit and they still kept the oilers colors as the Titans. But they don’t wear red trim on their jerseys anymore out of deference to Houston.
Overrated. These retro games are kind of appealing. No distraction scoreboard on all the time. Officiating could be a little better though. Lotta missed calls.
Stephen Poehler distraction scoreboard? Watching this i had no idea what the score was most of the time. I understand being critical of todays world can be "cool" sometimes but lets appreciate conveniences when we see them
Taek nam i understand retro can be a little confusing but most of those things can be prevented if you just pay attention to something for more than 15 seconds. I understand the importance of having the clock on the screen in 2 minute drills and things like that. But these games literally had the score and clock posted at the start of almost every drive.
This 1992 Oilers team may have been the most sure-fire Super Bowl contender of the Run-N-Shoot era (1990-1993). Had they simply hung on to this win they would've taken care of both Pittsburgh and Miami as Buffalo did and there would have been a monumental Super Bowl vs the young Dallas Cowboys. When Bubba McDowell returned the 3rd quarter pick for a TD, the Oilers' radio announcers including legendary coach Bum Phillips sang songs of triumph. It was the highest moment the Oilers and their fans would have until the team was taken away after the 1996 season. The first two and half quarters are still ambrosia for us Oilers fans. We will always remember this amazing performance.
I was a huge Bills fan when this game took place, and just to clarify, a lot of people did leave the game at half time and early in the 3rd quarter when the Bills went down 35-3, however, many turned around and came back when they heard on the radio that the Bills scored and made it 35-10. And yes, the fans that still had their ticket stubs were allowed back in. The reason I remember this is because the announcers were talking about it during some of the breaks, which were not part of this video. Thanks for posting it!
I remember that day well. I lived in Houston, and we were driving to McAllen, 5 hours away. When we left Houston they were so far ahead by halftime, that we felt the game was in the bag. We lost radio contact of the game, and were shocked to hear the final score when we arrived. Totally dumbfounded beyond belief. It was so sad.
The next day the entire Oiler defensive coaching staff was unceremoniously fired--it is believed that this loss was the catalyst for the ultimate move of the Oilers to Tennessee. Warren Moon has said that when he was inducted into the HOF all he could think about that day was this loss
This game is why Warren Moon does not belong in the hall of fame. 3-7 in playoff games and those three wins all took place in the wild card round. He never even won a divisional playoff game to make it to the conference championship.

the fact some people believe this isnt the greatest comeback in NFL history. that some eagles and giants game was. is just plain wrong. what a great win for buffalo.
The only people who believe the Eagles comeback was better are the Eagles' fans. Because the comeback was in a playoff game and the fact the Bills used it to get back to the Super Bowl makes it the greatest comeback ever. The Eagles wound up getting crushed in the wild card round.
Nathaniel Levesque i just dislike searching the greatest comeback in NFL history and i see over 4 million views on that eagles game. and not a one for the bills game which really deserves it.
brogan murray agreed. If you go nearly 60 years without a championship, you'll cling on to anything good that happens to your team and proclaim it as the greatest thing in the history of the sport.
This is clearly numerically the greatest and best comeback in NFL history. There is no question of that. I wish they rode it to Super Bowl glory, but what can you do?
I remember watching this game as kid. my dad was out of town and made me record it. I fell asleep after the first half. woke up and the bills had won!!!
I was living in the dorms when this game was played. I was in my dorm and totally forgot that the NFL played playoff games on Saturdays. Some guy running down the hall yelled, "Well, looks like Buffalo's out of playoffs." I turned on the TV just in time to see McDowell's INT return for a TD. I decided to watch the rest of the game. I'm one of the rare people who missed the first half and watched the second.
Wow..time flies! I was 12yo... never seen the second half until now..I turned on my s.nintendo and played all day long..only to see the news saying that we lost.😣☹️
Bryson Hall - and that backup QB is now head coach of the Colts! He also coached (can't remember, QB coach or OC) for last years SB winners - the Eagles. He finally got that ring.
My late father and I were at the game. I've thought of him a lot lately with the Hamlin situation and wanted to see the highlights again. We were at the 10 yard line, mid-level. Christie's overtime kick was in our end. On that overcast day, we couldn't see the kick well enough to know by eye if it split the uprights. It was the crowd on the other end and with the better vantage point that told us. What a roar. Have never experienced that kind of hysteria. Strangers hugging each other, people breaking spontaneously into cheers as we walked up the exit ramps. My dad was the truest of Bills fans. Not a word from him about us leaving at 35-3. Go Bills.
@Snotlout Is A God It can be released by the Adams family. The New York AFL team was the Titans before the Jets. The owner of that name let Adams have it for his Tennessee team.
@@michaelleroy9281 Houston could petition the NFL for a name change. Dallas used to be the Texans and Houston got the rights to that name. That would take lots of money though. Bud adams is dead and his wife doesn't seem to bright. Probably won't happen but it's worth a shot
I called my dad today and told him this is no longer the greatest comeback in NFL history. I said, do you remember where we were that day? He said I don't remember where I was yesterday 😂. I'll never forget listening to the radio broadcast. Like most people we said this is over at halftime. We got back in the truck and the postgame was on. We heard, well folks we just witnessed the greatest comeback in NFL history. Never forget that day. The 90's was such a great era for sports. 🍻
There were many that Oilers didn't get Bebe went out of bounds before he caught a td pass there was a takedown in OT on Moon's last INT that was the biggest
@@RYMAN1321 Of course they didn't the Bills won games in Pittsburgh in the divisional and Miami in the AFC championship after this game, remember those 2 games came before the Super Bowl
The greatest comeback in NFL history. Bar none. People just want to say Super Bowl LI because it's the Super Bowl, and it's the Patriots, and it's so very recent. But we have to remember, they had Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick. The Bills didn't have their Hall of Fame Quarterback. I repeat, they did this with a BACKUP QUARTERBACK. At least with the Patriots, Brady and Bellichick had a shot because they were them. But this should not have been even POSSIBLE in the FIRST PLACE. Super Bowl LI has the advantage in just stage, and that's it. In every other manner, this comeback has it beat. Super Bowl LI is the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, without a doubt. It's the No. 2 comeback. But The Comeback is The Comeback. You don't get any better than that.
I was at work Tampa Florida and my Pittsburgh Steeler boss laughing at me saying your bills are getting blown out already when I got home it was halftime 35-3 I said let’s go in and watch the greatest comeback ever and I had no idea that was going to be true
The Bills were such an exciting team to watch in the 90's especially in Buffalo. I miss those days. They have some good players today, but it's just not the same. When you can remember the names of more than 2/3 of the team, it's a great team despite the 4 Superbowl losses.
Exactly! There will never be another Bills Team like the one from the 90's ... everyone in Buffalo knew all the players. So many many great names!! Wow!
then that stupid/demented owner of the Bills-Ralph Wilson fired the architect of these SB teams--GM Bill Polian in 1993 over an argument Polian had with the team's treasurer Jeff Littman. From that point on the Bills began their long decline into oblivion that was accelerated after the "Music City" miracle game-it took the Bills 17 years to make the playoffs again (no playoffs from 1999 to 2016)
@@bufnyfan1 Wow, I didn't know that. That team is as snake bitten as the Vikings & Browns. (I didn't mention the Lions cuz they just simply stink!) This time the Bills fell victim to the STUPID ongoing overtime rules that allow a coin flip to decide the winner!! The NFL finally amended the overtime rules for 2022 to include touchdowns, but only for post season.
That's the pre-cap days. They made this massive move towards parity, but personally I miss those monster teams even though my own team was not among the elite. You knew who half the team was even though it wasn't yours, you knew that in the superbowl you were going to see a bunch of legendary players all on the field at the same time. It's just not like that now... it's all kind of the same to me.
The damndest thing about this is...THEY DAMN NEAR MADE IT ALL UP IN LESS THAN 1 QUARTER! Still unbelievable, to this day, and I saw it live on television.
To have been a Bills fan during this time was definitely a unique experience. This was the greatest come back in NFL history and to have witnessed it as a fan of the winning team was really something special. I try to re-watch it every year during Superbowl weekend.
I was at this game 30 years ago, I was 11. It was one of my first Bills games and thank god my Dad never leaves a sporting event early. I can remember the stadium being 3/4's empty at one point, but we never gave up, and it turned out to be one of the greatest experiences of my Life. GO BILLS
The Buffalo Bills of the 90s they are a true winner I don’t care if they lost 4 super bowls I’m a Cowboys fan but that team was so talented I cannot stop watching old videos of the team they were awesome
Houston QB Warren Moon was elected and entered the Pro Football HOF in 2006. He has said that during the ceremony all he could think of was this loss and how it has "haunted" him all these years later
When the 49ers intercepted Mahomes for the last time and went into the end zone for their group photo, I remember thinking, "Yeah, it's too early to be celebrating like that."
I remember this game because I was in the hospital with a bleeding ulcer and I had the game on not really paying any mind to it and I remember looking up and seeing the bills came back to win and I couldn’t believe it! This was in Frederick Maryland, I have a friend who is a bills fan, so I kind of root for them. Washington is my team, but I was happy for Buffalo.
As a NYG fan, I hated to see SB 25 end the way it did. BUF was excellent year after year and Norwood was a very good kicker and he deserves better than to be remembered mostly for that game. NYG heroics at the end would have been better. But having said that, this game is phenomenal and immortal in NFL history. Always inspiring to see a team never give up!
Honestly giants deserved to win. Held the ball for over 40 minutes. Pretty much contained Bills offense other than Thurman Thomas using that quarter defense that reduced Kelly to dinks and dunks.
Yeah I think the Bills should have won in 1990. Each year after that they got progressively weaker compared to their Superbowl opponents. They were huge underdogs against Dallas and played like it. But the Giants were strong too. Before the salary cap it was an age of monster teams and I miss that.
I remember this game vividly. The beating was so bad that my Dad decided it was time to wash the car with us kids. It was so cold out, the water was freezing onto the car, and my Mom was screaming from the door that Buffalo was coming back and that we should all come back inside while my Dad insisted there was no chance. Ah the memories.
Their uniforms did look cool, but at the same time I feel this collapse was the death knell for the team Had they won this game they surely would’ve went all the way to the Super Bowl though i doubt they would’ve beaten Dallas as they were the team of the 90’s
I watched this game aboard the U.S.S. Saratoga in Fla. while on duty with a shipmate from Alabama. He was a huge Crimson Tide fan and loved the fact that C. Bennett was a Bills player. We pretty much watched the entire thing, and needless to say, the way it turned around in the second half was memorable.
That's the guy that Buddy Ryan punched on the sideline. Yup the DC of the Oilers punched the OC in a live game. All that passing was killing his defense. He called the Run & Shoot offense the Chuck & Duck
@@mongoslade277 Actually, this game was on Sunday January 3, 1993. After looking more into it the next day, Defensive Backs coach Pat Thomas and Offensive Coordinator Jim Eddy was fired
Todd Christensen was something else. So articulate and intelligent and played for the outcasts of the league in the Raiders, and was awesome on color commentary. Nobody would ever imagine he was on a team that won two Super Bowls.
Thats what the Raiders were. Broken up personalities but they delivered no matter what. They should make a movie about the Raiders season to super bowl victory at the end of the film.
As a Bills fan I wanted to turn this game off when watching it live. But, I was sorting laundry when Buffalo started coming back and grateful that I didn’t change the channel! 2021 should be a fun season, GO BILLS!!!!!
As a Browns fan, you Bills fans definitely have my sympathy. You see a legendary game like this and like me, now you'd give anything to see your team participate in a playoff game again!
Our Bills were in the playoffs this year. I'm sorry about the Browns imperfect season. At some point, the Browns will be back in the playoffs. They just have to be...
This was, and still is, the greatest comeback in pro football history. This tops SB51 simply because of the fact that the bills only had a backup QB to pull it off. It was also a larger deficit.
Growing up in Houston as an Oiler’s fan, I vividly remember watching this game with a disbelief. I sorely miss the Oilers and watching the run and shoot offense putting up crazy stats.
I was about 23 years old and remember listening to the end of the game on the radio on my way home from work at Tops Markets on Maple Rd in Amherst, NY
I was 8yrs old around this time and i remember my uncles and family members cursing and screaming alot lol...I did not know what the hell was going, i just remember seeing them real pissed off.
As a Bills fan living in NJ, I didn't get to see too many games on TV. I remember watching this on an afternoon when my family was putting away our Christmas decorations/tree. It felt like every time I came upstairs with another box of things, the score changed in the second half. Despite getting a warning from my mom, I would watched more and more as the comeback progressed. Ultimately she gave up when she realized the magnitude of the game. This game was certainly a great childhood memory!
Gotta feel bad for Bruce and Jake Matthews. Father and son were both on the losing end of two or the most amazing postseason comebacks in league history.
TRUE STORY: The day this game aired, I remember thinking at halftime that the game was over, so I took a nap and had set my alarm so I'd wake up right when the next game was to start.

I listened to an interview with Bills running back, Kenny Davis. What an amazing attitude he had in this game. He was HUGE in this comeback.
My parents went this game and were telling me how people were trying to climb over the fence to get back in once they realized the bills were coming back
THAT IS TRUE!! Big deal on NEWS!! GOD BLESS that we TX got the COWBOYS!!!🤠
Dam that was awesome… I hope the Bills get a Super Bowl victory soon with Josh Allen. You deserve one Buffalo Fans
This Oilers group of the early 90's massively underachieved. They were loaded.
Yeah the problem was they had the ingredients but they had the wrong formula. They had a talented defense, a great O-line and good runningbacks so they should have drafted some tight ends and fullbacks and played smashmouth football. If Buddy Ryan was the coach they would have gone further or hell Bum Phillips.
Wrong era for that type of offense. Might work even better today 🤔
wouldn't say underrated since they didnt reach the super bowl
IMO, I feel this game was the death knell of the team.
The loss to the Chiefs next year guaranteed the end
@@rowlandbuck2703 Even today it needs to mixed with more conventional tactics. Run-and-shoot is a good formation, not a good offensive scheme.

Naghavi,
Stop crying. It was one td. Beebe stepped out of bounds. But they would've still scored on that drive anyway. Houston's defense was pourous. If you look closely, you can literally see the Houston players choking on their sideline.
As a far a playoff game goes, definitely the Bills but not the Super bowl. I have to give that one to the Pats.

Big Daddy Love those uniforms!!
Cowboys were better
Yes.
Houston has done everything it could to get the rights but Tenessee won't surrender the rights. Even thought the titans do nothing with the history of the team prior to Tenessee
This was back when it was great being a Bills fan. I just want to see the Bills win a Super Bowl before I die.
+Nicholas Rivera My condolences, I sympathize. I would have loved to see them win 4 super bowls in a row. God! I hate the Cowboys. They should have won their 1st one. For lack of a kicker.
Likwit 716,
We'll See if That Does Happen.
+Likwit 716 So do Viking fans.
We will! With Allen at qb! Plus winning a sb is easier in this era.then the 90s.
You guys seem to be near the end of your rebuild, now that Brady is a lot worse and may actually leave New England next season, this will be your time to shine
-Chiefs fan
Carlton Bailey, Cornelius Bennett, Darryl Talley & Shane Conlan...Bill's linebackers in the wonder years!! Wow
And here shows the largest comeback in NFL history
Why else is it called "The comeback"
To Houston, it's called "The Choke."
RPGFreak901 this isn’t their team anymore though. Does any Oiler history even matter to them now?
Nerd 0208 yea
I'm thinking how did that happen ?
This game was actually blacked out in Western NY and Southern Ontario--listened to the game on WBEN-930 radio Buffalo--with the late Van Miller calling the play by play-when the score went to 35-3 Houston I turned off the radio--as I couldn't listen to this anymore---went out for a walk just to forget about this--when I came home and turned on the radio to here how bad the final score was--the score was 38-35 Buffalo--and ultimately they won in OT-a memory I will never forget
It was blacked out in most of northwestern Pennsylvania as well. Both WGRZ and WICU in Erie were subject to the 75-mile rule, and those were the two stations that served the northwestern counties in the state at the time of this game. I only got to watch it because the town we lived in also had the NBC station from Youngstown, Ohio on its cable lineup in addition to the Erie station.
I remember this game SOOooo well. I was mad at myself because I overslept. The second half had just started, so it was already 28-3. I couldn't believe it. I almost turned the TV off when the Oilers went up 35-3. But I was shipping out to Parris Island (USMC boot camp, for those that don't know) only three days later. Since I would miss the rest of the playoffs, I decided to tough it out and continue watching my Bills get slaughtered. What. A. Sendoff.
Wish they saved their comeback juice for against the Cowboys because they constantly just couldn’t stop turning the ball over
I remember I was at work during this game. We had a radio blaring the play-by-play throughout the warehouse and could not believe how it ended up. One of the most Incredible comebacks up until SB LI last Sunday!! Thanks for posting this NFL.
I'm a Patriots fan and even though the Patriots have an unbelievable comeback in SB LI, it doesn't affect the Bills' comeback in this game at all.
Oilers had the bomb diggidityest unis in the league. Should still exist.
Scott B Amen!!
They kept the Browns name and colors in Cleveland but didn’t give the same courtesy to Houston with the Oilers.
@@crowtservo The city of Cleveland asked that they be allowed to keep the team colors.
crowtservo because they were still called the oilers in Tennessee for a bit and they still kept the oilers colors as the Titans. But they don’t wear red trim on their jerseys anymore out of deference to Houston.
What makes those uniforms so great?
I was standing on my couch screaming at the TV in absolute elation. It was amazing. Who's crying....no your're crying.
The First Down Yellow Line Is Underrated.
tell that to the ppl who invented the technology for it. multi-millionaires
Overrated. These retro games are kind of appealing. No distraction scoreboard on all the time. Officiating could be a little better though. Lotta missed calls.
Stephen Poehler distraction scoreboard? Watching this i had no idea what the score was most of the time. I understand being critical of todays world can be "cool" sometimes but lets appreciate conveniences when we see them
Taek nam i understand retro can be a little confusing but most of those things can be prevented if you just pay attention to something for more than 15 seconds. I understand the importance of having the clock on the screen in 2 minute drills and things like that. But these games literally had the score and clock posted at the start of almost every drive.
And they had the distance and the first down marker is clearly visable on the other end of the field. I don't see the big confusion.
This 1992 Oilers team may have been the most sure-fire Super Bowl contender of the Run-N-Shoot era (1990-1993). Had they simply hung on to this win they would've taken care of both Pittsburgh and Miami as Buffalo did and there would have been a monumental Super Bowl vs the young Dallas Cowboys.
When Bubba McDowell returned the 3rd quarter pick for a TD, the Oilers' radio announcers including legendary coach Bum Phillips sang songs of triumph. It was the highest moment the Oilers and their fans would have until the team was taken away after the 1996 season.
The first two and half quarters are still ambrosia for us Oilers fans. We will always remember this amazing performance.
Moon, Kelly and Marino all deserved a ring and it turns my stomach that Dilfer has one
@@ryanstatt9910 Don’t forget Tarkenton
@@RYMAN1321 wow, I can't believe I missed him. He should have multiple rings
I was born in 97 so this is my first time seeing this game. Man Moon was good, never saw him play before
Warren Moon is arguably the finest QB who ever played pro ball. Check his stats.
Choke job Moon
@@kb5924 Not in Edmonton in the CFL, where he played first...
@@kb5924 Warren Moon didn't give up 28 points in 8 minutes. The Houston defense did. 🤡
@@mongoslade277 the defense didn’t throw 2 ints and choked to score more then 3 pts in the 2nd half 🤡
I was a huge Bills fan when this game took place, and just to clarify, a lot of people did leave the game at half time and early in the 3rd quarter when the Bills went down 35-3, however, many turned around and came back when they heard on the radio that the Bills scored and made it 35-10. And yes, the fans that still had their ticket stubs were allowed back in. The reason I remember this is because the announcers were talking about it during some of the breaks, which were not part of this video. Thanks for posting it!
Dam it feels good to see these legends play again. Maryland fans know about Frank and that comeback game against University of Miami
Thank you VERY much NFL for posting this historic game.
I remember that day well. I lived in Houston, and we were driving to McAllen, 5 hours away. When we left Houston they were so far ahead by halftime, that we felt the game was in the bag. We lost radio contact of the game, and were shocked to hear the final score when we arrived. Totally dumbfounded beyond belief. It was so sad.
The next day the entire Oiler defensive coaching staff was unceremoniously fired--it is believed that this loss was the catalyst for the ultimate move of the Oilers to Tennessee. Warren Moon has said that when he was inducted into the HOF all he could think about that day was this loss
This game is why Warren Moon does not belong in the hall of fame.
3-7 in playoff games and those three wins all took place in the wild card round. He never even won a divisional playoff game to make it to the conference championship.
Thanks for this! Saw the game live and just watched it again for the first time since. Memories :-)

NFL can you record games of the NFL and post them on RUclips so we can see them if we don't have the channel or anything else.
I wanna see new york giants vs washington redskins 1966 where washington beat new york 72-41
NFL thanks
Savage Brick Same...
the fact some people believe this isnt the greatest comeback in NFL history. that some eagles and giants game was. is just plain wrong. what a great win for buffalo.
The only people who believe the Eagles comeback was better are the Eagles' fans. Because the comeback was in a playoff game and the fact the Bills used it to get back to the Super Bowl makes it the greatest comeback ever. The Eagles wound up getting crushed in the wild card round.
Nathaniel Levesque i just dislike searching the greatest comeback in NFL history and i see over 4 million views on that eagles game. and not a one for the bills game which really deserves it.
brogan murray agreed. If you go nearly 60 years without a championship, you'll cling on to anything good that happens to your team and proclaim it as the greatest thing in the history of the sport.
This is clearly numerically the greatest and best comeback in NFL history. There is no question of that. I wish they rode it to Super Bowl glory, but what can you do?
brogan murray search up the miracle in meadowlands on RUclips you'll see
I remember watching this game as kid. my dad was out of town and made me record it. I fell asleep after the first half. woke up and the bills had won!!!
Andrew D wow must have felt nice 😍
TheSoroLP lol yeah we're a huge sports family. we couldn't believe it.
Andrew D did you have the expressed written permission of the NFL to record that game?
Barry Fields LMAO!
The Original 28-3 Lead. I'm wearing my Warren Moon jersey today with a Tear in my Beer. Ouch...Love Ya' Blue.
I was 13 years old and at this game all the way to the end!!!! I miss these days
I was 6 . I'm a North Jersey die hard Bills fan . Nothing like going to that stadium. I can't wait to get the chance to experience a home playoff game
They’re coming backing.
I was living in the dorms when this game was played. I was in my dorm and totally forgot that the NFL played playoff games on Saturdays. Some guy running down the hall yelled, "Well, looks like Buffalo's out of playoffs." I turned on the TV just in time to see McDowell's INT return for a TD. I decided to watch the rest of the game. I'm one of the rare people who missed the first half and watched the second.
i remember watching this and thinking "at least Buffalo wont stink up another super bowl...' Little did I know.
Was an Oilers season ticket holder. This was the worst day of being a sports fan in my entire life.
As a Buffalo bills fan I remember this game as if were yesterday.
It must’ve been disappointing though when the Bills came back from this game only to ultimately fall in the Super Bowl a few weeks later though
@@RYMAN1321also ruined the kickers reputation for life
this is by far the greatest game ive ever seen. Forever a Bills Fan!!!
And now it's the Bills vs Pats beat down!!! 47-17!!! Or at least a close 2nd.
Still waiting on that Lombardi though
It`s amazing how things work out in the game of football....As soon as that momentum shifts look out.
Wow..time flies! I was 12yo... never seen the second half until now..I turned on my s.nintendo and played all day long..only to see the news saying that we lost.😣☹️
Damn so you’ve been thinking they lost for decades! Lol
Hard to believe a backup quarterback made this type of comeback
Bryson Hall With a backup running back too!
That's what will make this comeback the greatest of all time forever.
Even if a bigger deficit is overcome. It won't be by a Backup's hands.
frank riech best backup of all time
Bryson Hall - and that backup QB is now head coach of the Colts! He also coached (can't remember, QB coach or OC) for last years SB winners - the Eagles. He finally got that ring.
@Snotlout Is A God amd his quarterbacks name is luck... hmmmm
My late father and I were at the game. I've thought of him a lot lately with the Hamlin situation and wanted to see the highlights again. We were at the 10 yard line, mid-level. Christie's overtime kick was in our end. On that overcast day, we couldn't see the kick well enough to know by eye if it split the uprights. It was the crowd on the other end and with the better vantage point that told us. What a roar. Have never experienced that kind of hysteria. Strangers hugging each other, people breaking spontaneously into cheers as we walked up the exit ramps. My dad was the truest of Bills fans. Not a word from him about us leaving at 35-3. Go Bills.
The Oilers is a great name. Bring it back.
@Snotlout Is A God It can be released by the Adams family. The New York AFL team was the Titans before the Jets. The owner of that name let Adams have it for his Tennessee team.
Bring it back how, genius?
@@michaelleroy9281 don't be that guy. Idiot.
@@michaelleroy9281 Houston could petition the NFL for a name change. Dallas used to be the Texans and Houston got the rights to that name. That would take lots of money though. Bud adams is dead and his wife doesn't seem to bright. Probably won't happen but it's worth a shot
I called my dad today and told him this is no longer the greatest comeback in NFL history. I said, do you remember where we were that day? He said I don't remember where I was yesterday 😂. I'll never forget listening to the radio broadcast. Like most people we said this is over at halftime. We got back in the truck and the postgame was on. We heard, well folks we just witnessed the greatest comeback in NFL history. Never forget that day. The 90's was such a great era for sports. 🍻
There were many that Oilers didn't get Bebe went out of bounds before he caught a td pass there was a takedown in OT on Moon's last INT that was the biggest
I was 6 and it was my first football game I was at live .. I’ll never forget it . It was like it happened yesterday ! Go bills
Weren’t you disappointed that the Bills still didn’t win the Super Bowl after this though ?
@@RYMAN1321 Of course they didn't the Bills won games in Pittsburgh in the divisional and Miami in the AFC championship after this game, remember those 2 games came before the Super Bowl
Moral of the story, beware getting a 28-3 lead. Best game I ever watched.
Something about that score 28-3 that would be heard from again years later
The greatest comeback in NFL history. Bar none. People just want to say Super Bowl LI because it's the Super Bowl, and it's the Patriots, and it's so very recent. But we have to remember, they had Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick. The Bills didn't have their Hall of Fame Quarterback. I repeat, they did this with a BACKUP QUARTERBACK. At least with the Patriots, Brady and Bellichick had a shot because they were them. But this should not have been even POSSIBLE in the FIRST PLACE.
Super Bowl LI has the advantage in just stage, and that's it. In every other manner, this comeback has it beat. Super Bowl LI is the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, without a doubt. It's the No. 2 comeback. But The Comeback is The Comeback. You don't get any better than that.
+TheForce221 Do not forget the Charger/Dolphin game Jan/82 in terms of excitement, 41/38 overtime. Chargers.
Agree 100%
Too bad Buffalo never won the Super Bowl...lost 4 straight while another team in their division have 5
better watch that team while you still can, they wont be a factor after a season or two
Also they lost Thurman Thomas in this game
I miss Marv so much. Epic boogers, great coaching. A great man!
I was at work Tampa Florida and my Pittsburgh Steeler boss laughing at me saying your bills are getting blown out already when I got home it was halftime 35-3 I said let’s go in and watch the greatest comeback ever and I had no idea that was going to be true
What happened at work the next day you went in?
What's funny is buffalo went on to beat Pittsburgh after this
The Bills were such an exciting team to watch in the 90's especially in Buffalo. I miss those days. They have some good players today, but it's just not the same. When you can remember the names of more than 2/3 of the team, it's a great team despite the 4 Superbowl losses.
Exactly! There will never be another Bills Team like the one from the 90's ... everyone in Buffalo knew all the players. So many many great names!! Wow!
then that stupid/demented owner of the Bills-Ralph Wilson fired the architect of these SB teams--GM Bill Polian in 1993 over an argument Polian had with the team's treasurer Jeff Littman. From that point on the Bills began their long decline into oblivion that was accelerated after the "Music City" miracle game-it took the Bills 17 years to make the playoffs again (no playoffs from 1999 to 2016)
@@bufnyfan1 Wow, I didn't know that. That team is as snake bitten as the Vikings & Browns. (I didn't mention the Lions cuz they just simply stink!) This time the Bills fell victim to the STUPID ongoing overtime rules that allow a coin flip to decide the winner!! The NFL finally amended the overtime rules for 2022 to include touchdowns, but only for post season.
That's the pre-cap days.
They made this massive move towards parity, but personally I miss those monster teams even though my own team was not among the elite. You knew who half the team was even though it wasn't yours, you knew that in the superbowl you were going to see a bunch of legendary players all on the field at the same time. It's just not like that now... it's all kind of the same to me.
The damndest thing about this is...THEY DAMN NEAR MADE IT ALL UP IN LESS THAN 1 QUARTER! Still unbelievable, to this day, and I saw it live on television.
If that McDowell interception doesn't happen, they would have made it all up. That just makes it more incredible in my opinion.
To have been a Bills fan during this time was definitely a unique experience. This was the greatest come back in NFL history and to have witnessed it as a fan of the winning team was really something special. I try to re-watch it every year during Superbowl weekend.
The Biggest comeback in terms Of Points By a second-string quarterback right?
epic game thanks for uploading this game
Heaven...!!!!
Simply NFL lovers heaven on Earth..
Thank you for releasing so many games
LOVE THOSE OILERS UNIFORMS!! HATED THIS GAME!!!
I was at this game 30 years ago, I was 11. It was one of my first Bills games and thank god my Dad never leaves a sporting event early. I can remember the stadium being 3/4's empty at one point, but we never gave up, and it turned out to be one of the greatest experiences of my Life.
GO BILLS
Wow, first game is a playoff game! Thank your father again!!
The Buffalo Bills of the 90s they are a true winner I don’t care if they lost 4 super bowls I’m a Cowboys fan but that team was so talented I cannot stop watching old videos of the team they were awesome
They lost which makes them LOSERS
Houston QB Warren Moon was elected and entered the Pro Football HOF in 2006. He has said that during the ceremony all he could think of was this loss and how it has "haunted" him all these years later
Moral of all comebacks. DON'T GET CUTE. KEEP PLAYING AS IF YOU TRAIL.
The one thing Ron Rivera never learned
Happens quite often. Trump may lose because of this very reason . Always always respect your adversary. Don't rub salt in the opposition
When the 49ers intercepted Mahomes for the last time and went into the end zone for their group photo, I remember thinking, "Yeah, it's too early to be celebrating like that."
Charlie Jones just had a GREAT broadcaster's voice. I really enjoyed him and Todd doing the broadcasting work for this game.
And that’s why Jim Eddy and Pat Thomas got fired
And why this game was the death knell for the team
I remember this game because I was in the hospital with a bleeding ulcer and I had the game on not really paying any mind to it and I remember looking up and seeing the bills came back to win and I couldn’t believe it! This was in Frederick Maryland, I have a friend who is a bills fan, so I kind of root for them. Washington is my team, but I was happy for Buffalo.
As a NYG fan, I hated to see SB 25 end the way it did. BUF was excellent year after year and Norwood was a very good kicker and he deserves better than to be remembered mostly for that game. NYG heroics at the end would have been better. But having said that, this game is phenomenal and immortal in NFL history. Always inspiring to see a team never give up!
Honestly giants deserved to win. Held the ball for over 40 minutes. Pretty much contained Bills offense other than Thurman Thomas using that quarter defense that reduced Kelly to dinks and dunks.
Yeah I think the Bills should have won in 1990. Each year after that they got progressively weaker compared to their Superbowl opponents. They were huge underdogs against Dallas and played like it.
But the Giants were strong too. Before the salary cap it was an age of monster teams and I miss that.
I remember this game vividly. The beating was so bad that my Dad decided it was time to wash the car with us kids. It was so cold out, the water was freezing onto the car, and my Mom was screaming from the door that Buffalo was coming back and that we should all come back inside while my Dad insisted there was no chance. Ah the memories.
I miss the Oilers...Those uniforms are 🔥
Their uniforms did look cool, but at the same time I feel this collapse was the death knell for the team
Had they won this game they surely would’ve went all the way to the Super Bowl though i doubt they would’ve beaten Dallas as they were the team of the 90’s
I remember watching this game at half i was like this is over came back in and saw how they came back epic game
I don't care what no one says, I still think that the Music City Miracle was the Oilers/Titans revenge against Buffalo.
That's just me
Damon Dukes well duh it is.
And utter revenge as that loss sent the Bills into a 15 year span of irrelevancy.
I watched this game aboard the U.S.S. Saratoga in Fla. while on duty with a shipmate from Alabama. He was a huge Crimson Tide fan and loved the fact that C. Bennett was a Bills player. We pretty much watched the entire thing, and needless to say, the way it turned around in the second half was memorable.
The Oilers OC really did everything possible to let Buffalo back in it. Up by 4 TDs and all that passing in the second half.
That's the guy that Buddy Ryan punched on the sideline. Yup the DC of the Oilers punched the OC in a live game. All that passing was killing his defense. He called the Run & Shoot offense the Chuck & Duck
@@mongoslade277Weren’t there firings the next day ?
@@RYMAN1321 Don't remember. That game was on a Saturday. Hopefully they didn't get fired on a Sunday
@@mongoslade277 Actually, this game was on Sunday January 3, 1993.
After looking more into it the next day, Defensive Backs coach Pat Thomas and Offensive Coordinator Jim Eddy was fired
I love watching this. it never gets old.
Todd Christensen was something else. So articulate and intelligent and played for the outcasts of the league in the Raiders, and was awesome on color commentary. Nobody would ever imagine he was on a team that won two Super Bowls.
Thats what the Raiders were. Broken up personalities but they delivered no matter what. They should make a movie about the Raiders season to super bowl victory at the end of the film.
He'd have been even better had he listened to Tom Landry in his rookie year....
@@F40PH-2CAT Possibly, but two Super Bowls with the Raiders, with one as the starting tight end isn't a bad career.
I remember being a kid and watching this game. I used to like both of these teams because they were exciting to watch!
You could see the Hall of Fame in Andre Reeds future The man made a living across the middle. No fear.
He KNEW he was gonna get hit HARD, but hung onto the ball. Great receiver.
As a Bills fan I wanted to turn this game off when watching it live. But, I was sorting laundry when Buffalo started coming back and grateful that I didn’t change the channel! 2021 should be a fun season, GO BILLS!!!!!
As a Browns fan, you Bills fans definitely have my sympathy. You see a legendary game like this and like me, now you'd give anything to see your team participate in a playoff game again!
Zach Allen Ay, same to you guys, you suffer at least as much as we do
Our Bills were in the playoffs this year. I'm sorry about the Browns imperfect season. At some point, the Browns will be back in the playoffs. They just have to be...
Well, they did finally get to play another playoff game this year!
Call me crazy but don't let Hue Jackson go. He's capable of turning it around.
Glad you guys came back against TENN. 29-28 for y’all when down 28-3!
This game is why they brought back replay, along with a few others.
This was, and still is, the greatest comeback in pro football history. This tops SB51 simply because of the fact that the bills only had a backup QB to pull it off. It was also a larger deficit.
It’s kind of nullified in a way since the Bills came back here only to get creamed by the Cowboys.
And no Thurman Thomas.
Minnesota has it now. Buffalo though was much more impressive and still stands the greatest comeback in playoff history.
Growing up in Houston as an Oiler’s fan, I vividly remember watching this game with a disbelief. I sorely miss the Oilers and watching the run and shoot offense putting up crazy stats.
Jack Pardee went full Schottenheimer and Andy Reid by absolutely stopping everything that worked in the first half.
Yet Jim Eddy and Pat Thomas were the ones that got fired
I was about 23 years old and remember listening to the end of the game on the radio on my way home from work at Tops Markets on Maple Rd in Amherst, NY
i shop at that store
I was 8yrs old around this time and i remember my uncles and family members cursing and screaming alot lol...I did not know what the hell was going, i just remember seeing them real pissed off.
As a Bills fan living in NJ, I didn't get to see too many games on TV. I remember watching this on an afternoon when my family was putting away our Christmas decorations/tree. It felt like every time I came upstairs with another box of things, the score changed in the second half. Despite getting a warning from my mom, I would watched more and more as the comeback progressed. Ultimately she gave up when she realized the magnitude of the game. This game was certainly a great childhood memory!
I love those Bills helmets and uniforms and I want them back.
Me too.
When it was 28-3 at halftime ,the Bills should have started the comeback right there.
Gotta feel bad for Bruce and Jake Matthews.
Father and son were both on the losing end of two or the most amazing postseason comebacks in league history.
