Tony Greene is correct!

 

101 yards against the KC Chiefs in 1976

 

 

That one was, but he had a 101 yard return against KC Chiefs

Correct, he broke the record of Tom Janik who picked off Joe Willie in 1968 for a 100 yard return! Tony Greene grabbed one against Miami in 1974 and returned 107 yards but called back for holding! Awesome return though, worth watching if it is on you tube!

Yep. I believe it was actually 105 yards. Cost the Bills that game, too...and the division title. The damn "0 for the '70s" never would have been. :wallbash::censored:

I was at that game. Our only victory of the season was beating the eventual SB Champs. Namath threw 3 Pick-6's in the game, IIRC.

John Elway?

 

I'm positive you're correct as it was his 1st game and he showed Superstar form from gitgo. They (Broncos) were the defending Conference Champs. THIS was the game I knew the pieces were nearly in place. We lost Bell to get Biscuit, but drafted some guy out of OSU the following Spring.. And the rest -as they say..

1987 was the year I knew we were on track; great story about Tally and Bennett walking off the field after the last game disappointed about not making the playoffs. Tally stated nest year they would be in the playoffs and be competitive for many years to come.

Bennett was phenominal in that last game in 1987. He was all over the field and recorded close to 20 tackles.

The 1987 games against Miami - the comeback in the Orange Bowl and the shut spanking in Buffalo were therapy; you knew it was a new team!!

I suppose its time I ask a question. In a game against the Joe Namath and the New York Jets, the Bills accomplished something that hasn't been done since. Can you name it...

Three interceptions for TD's, one called back for a penalty?

I like this, lay it on me!

In a game that saw Namath complete only 2 of 18 passes, the Bills were the last NFL team to go an entire game without completing a forward pass.

My best memory, I gave my tickets to my parents who got soaked in what some have called the hurricane game.
