Boatdrinks Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 I definitely remember watching that game at the family Thanksgiving gathering at Grandmas house. Everyone was cheering on OJ and his great performance. One of my earliest memories of what it means to be a Bills fan. 1

Similar to Katzenmoyer. Expand My biggest disappointment was AJ Hawk, one of my all-time favorite college players. After him, I came to realize that you just can't trust high-motor lunch-pailers in the NFL anymore. As for that Thanksgiving game, I remember it. OJ was the greatest, THE thoroughbred of RBs.

I believe it broke the record for yards in a game at the time. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LhqzVtwwKVg Unfortunately I’m not able to embed the video. I cant recall the Bills ever playing on Thanksgiving Day in my life. I googled it and discovered the 1976 game Expand They played on Thanksgiving Day in 1961, '64, '65,'66,'68, 1976, and 1994. In 1976 OJ had 1500+ yards in the season. Saban quit after a 2-3 starter and Jim Ringo went 0-9 for the balance.

Expand Al Davis had it out for Marcus back then. But what a combo at RB. It probably extended Allen's career. The best way I ever heard Bo described was someone saying when God made him, He broke the mold. Buffalo played on Thanksgiving 1994. A 35-21 loss the Lions, who were QB'd by none other than Dave Krieg: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199411240det.htm
