On January 3, 1993, one of the most exciting NFL games that ever went down into the history books was played. The battle took place in the AFC wildcard game between the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Oilers. After going into halftime down 28-3 and giving up a pick six, an interception that was returned for a touchdown, the Buffalo Bills found themselves down 35-3 early in the third quarter. Despite an enormous uphill battle and odds that even a Las Vegas bookie couldn't compute the Bills managed to take a 38-35 lead with only minutes remaining. Houston, led by Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, marched down the field and kicked a game tying field goal with only seconds remaining. Although they lost the coin toss in overtime, the Bill won the game by intercepting Warren Moon's 50th pass of the game on only the third play of overtime. Bills kicker Steve Christie kicked the winning field goal only 3 three plays later capping off one of the most exciting games in NFL history. By what nickname is this game referred to as? |
