‘The game which turned around the franchise: The Dallas Texans, who would go on to win the American Football League championship in the second overtime game in football history, and became the Kansas City Chiefs the next season, came to War Memorial Stadium on Dec. 2, 1962. The largest crowd ever for a Bills’ game up to then, 35,261, jammed the place to see Jack Kemp play his first home game as a Bill. The new quarterback picked apart the Dallas defense and Buffalo won, 23-14. The crowd, probably loaded with Democrats, surged on to the field at the end and carried Kemp, who would be the Republican candidate for vice president of the United States 34 years later, through the Dodge Street tunnel on its shoulders. Bills mania was born that day.’
