I am not sure if that matters. Buffalo lost two in a row to Cincinnati and Denver.

First-time semi-finalists are Antonio Gates and Julius Peppers. Eric Allen, CB – Times as a Semifinalist: 4 – 2021-24 Jared Allen, DE – Times as a Semifinalist: 4 – 2021-24 Willie Anderson, T – Times as a Semifinalist: 4 – 2021-24 Tiki Barber, RB - Times as a Semifinalist: 1 – 2024 Anquan Boldin, WR – Times as a Semifinalist: 3 – 2022-24 Jahri Evans, G – Times as a Semifinalist: 2 – 2023-24 London Fletcher, LB – Times as a Semifinalist: 2 – 2023-24 Dwight Freeney, DE – Times as a Semifinalist: 2 – 2023-24 Antonio Gates, TE – Times as a Semifinalist: 1 – 2024 Eddie George, RB – Times as a Semifinalist: 2 – 2022, 2024 James Harrison, LB – Times as a Semifinalist: 2 – 2023-24 Rodney Harrison, S – Times as a Semifinalist: 3 – 2021, 2023-24 Devin Hester, PR/KR/WR – Times as a Semifinalist: 3 – 2022-24 Torry Holt, WR – Times as a Semifinalist: 10 – 2015-2024 Andre Johnson, WR - Times as a Semifinalist: 3 – 2022-24 Robert Mathis, Times as a Semifinalist: 3 – 2022-24 Julius Peppers, DE – Times as a Semifinalist: 1 – 2024 Steve Smith Sr., WR – Times as a Semifinalist: 3 – 2022-24 Fred Taylor, RB – Times as a Semifinalist: 5 – 2020-24 Hines Ward, WR – Times as a Semifinalist: 8 – 2017-2024 Ricky Watters, RB – Times as a Semifinalist: 4 – 2020, 2022-24 Reggie Wayne, WR –Times as a Semifinalist: 5 – 2020-24 Vince Wilfork, DT – Times as a Semifinalist: 3 – 2022-24 Patrick Willis, LB – Times as a Semifinalist: 5 – 2020-24 Darren Woodson, S - Times as a Semifinalist: 8 – 2015, 2017, 2019-2024 The list will be trimmed to 15 Modern-Era Player Finalists in early January.

Sort of like a push-out in pocket billiards after the break.

Wait, is this really a rule? I never read anything about a TD and a 2-point PAT on the initial possession ending the game. https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-overtime-rules/ "OVERTIME RULES FOR NFL POSTSEASON GAMES Unlike regular season games, postseason games cannot end in a tie, so the overtime rules change slightly for the playoffs. If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team’s initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period. Play will continue regardless of how many overtime periods are needed for a winner to be determined. There will be a two-minute intermission between each overtime period. There will not be a halftime intermission after the second period. The captain who lost the first overtime coin toss will either choose to possess the ball or select which goal his team will defend, unless the team that won the coin toss deferred that choice. Each team will have an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime. Each team gets three timeouts during a half. The same timing rules that apply at the end of the second and fourth regulation periods also apply at the end of a second or fourth overtime period. If there is still no winner at the end of a fourth overtime period, there will be another coin toss, and play will continue until a winner is declared."

Should have been 18/20, but the Bills can't count.

Well, Denver missed at Buffalo. You know the rest.

These right here are why we need Nyheim Hines back:

Ok, probably not on the field then? But players in the video were running on either side of it. during that field goal We need someone who was at the game or saw it on TV. Or is familar wuth Nickedson Field in Boston.

I heard it in the 99's

Watch the video (1:37-1:41): it was!!

You have to enter the code "BIGDEAL" at checkout for the $1.99 a month deal, or "YEARLONG" for the annual $19.99 deal. It is on the website. I assume it would work with the app too. https://www.peacocktv.com/offer/blackfriday Good question. They don't say on the website. I assume it will last longer, but do you want to take the chance? Very nice. I will add this to my OP, and give you credit!

[I thought of putting this in the game thread today, but I figured this was a little different. Mods: please merge if necessary.] Yep, I was not alive then, but that AFL used to have regular Friday games, including on Black Friday (not sure really if Black Friday was a thing back then though). The last Black Friday game was November 23, 1962 with Buffalo losing at Boston 21-10. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-playing-first-black-friday-game-why-is-there-a-game-on-the-friday-after-thanksgiving/ Jack Kemp threw for 194 yards and ran for a TD, but was bested by his counterpart Tom Yewcic with 231 yards and 3 TD's. Here is a short video I found: LOL at the utility pole in the middle of the field, viewable from 1:37-1:41 in the video. Guess the AFL cared a lot about player safety: Box score: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/196211230nwe.htm [Also a few tidbits about other Friday games from the CBS article above: "The last time the NFL played a game on a Friday that wasn't in December was when the Los Angeles Rams played the St. Louis Cardinals to open the season on Sept. 18, 1970 -- a game that started at 11 p.m. ET." "Is the NFL entering unchartered territory? The NFL has played games on Fridays, but they have been played on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day since 1999. The league did have a pair of Friday games on New Year's Eve in 1993, which was also a holiday. The last time the NFL played games on a Friday that wasn't on a holiday was in 1986, six days before Christmas on Dec. 19. "]

Dude Perfect is on the game today. Never heard of them, but they must be famous:

UPDATE 2: CBS Early: Memphis TN: JAX-HOU to PIT-CIN (Wed) Map has been changed.

Yep. It is one year free for cable TV subscribers (other than the Basic tier or TV Essentials product), and three months free for internet-only subscribers. The offer expires December 7. https://www.peacocktv.com/spectrum https://www.spectrum.com/packages/peacock-premium-trial Here is the fine print: https://www.peacocktv.com/spectrumoffer You have to remember to cancel though, and that is through Spectrum (I think).

Hey, no problem! Glad to help the forum. As far as tiers are concerned, there are only two levels: Peacock Plus and Peacock Premium Plus. Peacock Plus, despite its name, is the basic tier. It has all the live sports. With Peacock Premium Plus, you also get ad-free watching, downloading for offline watching, and your local NBC channel. So rest assured: your sister has the necessary tier. https://www.peacocktv.com/plans/all-monthly

So, as we all know, the Bills game at Los Angeles is on Saturday, December 23 exclusively on Peacock. So is the first Wild Card on Saturday, January 13. [This Wild Card is in the early slot and has the least favorable ratings historically. So the small-market and not-so-popular teams often go there, almost always the AFC South champion, if playing in that round. The Bills have also played in that slot three straight years recently, from 2019-21 (vs. Houston, Indy, and New England).] I researched it, and Peacock is no longer offering a free trial. You have to pay for a subscription, but you can cancel at any time. No contracts. Peacock Plus (which is the basic plan and has all the live sports events) costs $5.99 a month, or $59.99 annually (annual option is payment). They are having a Back Friday sale though for $1.99 a month or $19.99 annually. (The student rate for Peacock is also $1.99 a month, year-round, for the first 12 months: https://www.peacocktv.com/student.) I know it's only a small difference, but you may want to buy Peacock on Friday and then have time to set it up and test it. Since the Bills game is on December 23, and Black Friday is November 24, the one-month option should work??? I think?? Or you can continue the subscription through January 13 and the Wild Card. The other (legal) options, as have been mentioned in the past: 1) The Bills game is shown on free, local TV in the Buffalo and Los Angeles primary markets. 2) Go to a sports bar or restaurant, which now are able to show Peacock through Peacock Sports Pass, in partnership with EverPass and UPShow. 3) Some (?) cable/internet and other third-party providers are offering free Peacock Premium: a.) Spectrum: free for three months (Internet-only subscribers) or a year (cable TV subscribers) (offer expires December 7 -- see my post below) : https://www.peacocktv.com/spectrum b.) Xfinity (Comcast): free for two years (offer expires June 25, 2025): https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/peacock-subscription-faqs (thanks to @djp14150 for the Xfinity tip) c.) The following also offer Peacock as well, but I am not sure if it is free or how it works: https://www.peacocktv.com/help/article/cancellation Amazon Apple DIRECTV Satellite DIRECTV Stream Google Play Roku Xfinity Xumo TV (XClass TV) d.) There are probably more options, but I am not in the know. Here is the Black Friday sale info. I think it is going on already, and am not sure how long it will last. At least through Friday though. https://www.peacocktv.com/plans/all-monthly https://www.peacocktv.com/offer/blackfriday Screenshots:

Awesome post! I was 12 and at home in the living room. We were listening to Van Miller's call on the radio. Why? Because, as often occurred, the game was blacked out. Lots of great Bills games back then were not aired in the Buffalo area due to this. I had a good feeling before the play because Fergy had also just completed a long pass to Roland Hooks to get us into position. Hooks was on fire.

Nahhhh...both the Eagles and Chiefs are doing well and popular. It's just that the west is naturally more interested in KC. We still get CBS's A-team and have a higher distribution percentage.

Thankfully he's gone now, so Hochuli and his crew won't hold that incident against us.
