‘Special teams coach Bruce DeHaven was asked about the infamous Music City Miracle play during a media briefing and graciously gave a detailed response despite the fact the play has haunted him for a decade and he’s talked about it ad nauseum. On Jan. 8, 2000, the Bills lost a wild-card playoff game at Tennessee on a controversial lateral kickoff 22-16 after DeHaven called for a pooch kick instead of driving the ball deep. Despite 13 seasons of excellent work, he was fired by coach Wade Phillips. "I have talked to Wade Phillips a few times in the last few years," DeHaven said. "As the great sage, poet and passer rusher, Bruce Smith, once said ‘That’s water under the dam.’ … Of all the people involved I feel more hurt by it than anyone because I did feel responsible. I thought about things that had happened to us the last couple years (in that situation) and I thought that was the best kick. I don’t like the results but the only thing that made me feel like the decision was OK was I talked to Allen Lowery, the special teams coach for the Titans, about a month later he said ‘That’s the only kick we never practiced against; we kind of made it up as we went along.’ That was poor execution on our part."’
