Buffalo03 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) There aren't that many Vikings at Bills games that are very memorable. So, this week for Vikings week, I found the game winning drive from Orton back in 2014. The thing I remember most about this drive was Orton hitting Scott Chandler on 4th and 20 to keep the drive alive and then hitting Chris Hogan again deep at the 1 to set up the game winner to Watkins with :02 left. The video is 13 minutes long and is fun to watch. If anyone was at this game or has any memories feel free to post and as always....Go Bills Edited November 8, 2022 by Buffalo03 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Just four years ago, the Bills went into Minnesota as 17 point dogs and kicked the crap out of the Vikings ... https://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/24774007/buffalo-bills-shock-unbeaten-minnesota-vikings-pull-largest-nfl-upset-23-years The Bills, who were winless entering Sunday's game in Minnesota, closed as consensus 17-point underdogs to the previously unbeaten Vikings. They are the 15th underdog of 17 or more points to win a game in the Super Bowl era and the largest underdog to pull off an upset since the Washington Redskins knocked off the Dallas Cowboys 24-17 as 17.5-point underdogs on Dec. 3, 1995. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it has to be a Vikings at Bills game since we are playing in Buffalo this week. There are multiple games in Minnesota I would use if the game was in Minnesota 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I was at this game row 10 of the endzone where Sammy caught the TD. You could see the moment he broke to the corner he had the TD as long as he caught as the CB got burned bad. Orton made a superb throw on that pass. The game itself was maddening as the Bills allowed MIN to hang around wayyy too much and Bridgewater as a rookie flashed some real potential. I have always wonder how his career would've went if his knee never got busted as he look pretty good. By the way Scott Chandler made a huge catch on 4th down to keep the drive alive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 This drive kind of has feels of the Rams at Bills game in 2020 when Josh took us down to win. Obviously, Orton is no Josh but they are very similar and both great drives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I was at that game and as I recall, with one second left, the Vikings did the fire drill on the kick return, which seemed like it took five grueling minutes to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I recall the Bills were a few points favored in the game and until that miraculous last drive it looked like it was gonna be a disappointing loss. That last drive WAS exciting though 2 hours ago, Gugny said: Just four years ago, the Bills went into Minnesota as 17 point dogs and kicked the crap out of the Vikings ... https://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/24774007/buffalo-bills-shock-unbeaten-minnesota-vikings-pull-largest-nfl-upset-23-years The Bills, who were winless entering Sunday's game in Minnesota, closed as consensus 17-point underdogs to the previously unbeaten Vikings.

They turned the ball over three times in the Vikings redzone and had a few other drives fail midfield. Classic drought Bills offense.

Dave in Avon Lake now Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I was at a Bills VIkings game with my brother (who was a Vikings fan at the time) in 1982. It was a night game and the Bills won 23-22 to go 2-0. Unfortunately that was the strike year and the Bills didn't even make the playoffs. That was the end of Chuck Knox era in Buffalo. A real shame!

For a brief moment I deluded myself into thinking that Kyle Orton was our ticket back to respectability and a playoff berth… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
