Everyone talked about how the Cowboys we going to bury them in this game. I turned the game on just after halftime, and what did I see? Buffalo was up 17-10. That was one wild game, especially in that 4th quarter. when it looked like neither team wanted to win.
If you missed it, Dallas kicked a 53 yard field goal at the end of the game to go up by a point, except Buffalo called a timeout just before the snap. So the kid had to kick it again. You had 70,000 people in the stadium going crazy thinking the kicker couldn't do that twice in a row, and Buffalo would win. Except he could, he did, and they didn't. Turns out they were channeling the teams of yesteryear with those helmets, they were just off by a couple of decades... I really enjoy this photo of some of the fans in the stadium after the game, for some reason. This just typifies the Buffalo sports fan, I think.
To top it off, in our "ex-OPS center" fantasy football league (for those veterans of the Data Center when Operations actually had a clue what they were doing), I was up Monday morning by 9 points. The guy I was matched up against had Dallas' kicker on his team, and got 17 points out of him. I lost for the week...

That was the most interesting game I have seen in maybe 10 years. It had a little of everything including interception returns for touchdowns and a 103-yard kickoff return. (Not to mention the on-side kick in the last 24 seconds and a couple of amazing field goal kicks.) There were players in brand new positions because of players out for injuries and a rookie quarterback had a chance to prove that it is time to put him in for good. Until the last second, you could really believe that they could win.
In the old days, the Bills were always able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
