Uuuuuuuh... NO! I was there!
The Bills won the opening coin toss — no surprise on this day — and they proceeded to run their no-huddle offense to perfection.

Said Kelly: "I remember (Raiders defensive lineman) Howie Long telling me on that drive, 'Come on, Jim, slow down.' "
Kelly never did. Four plays after the timeout, Kelly dropped a shotgun snap, but was still able to scoop it up, escape danger, and throw a 13-yard touchdown pass to James Lofton and you knew something was up. The rout was on.
