1964/65 we won the AFL title and fought hard  to be the 1st ever 3peat Pro Football champion in ‘66. The core of the great Lou Saban teams was still mostly intact but beginning to age. We started 0-2 but turned the season around to host the AFL Championship game. This time, the winner would advance to the 1st AFL/NFL World Championship game (soon to be renamed the Super Bowl).

 

A rare great find in very good condition. The heroes of my youth! ENJOY!

Red striped refs! Should bring them back when teams go ‘60’s retro.

Great film of the Bills in their glory years!

You’d be hard pressed to find a better preserved film from this era. Our Wall of Fame hails many of these great players. Hopefully they’ll finally realize their oversight and add Butch Byrd soon.

Thanks, Chan, you made my morning!

Pity that Bobby Burnett blew his knee out later and never had a chance to build on that promising rookie year. 

Also, can you believe that George Blanda was already a *17* year veteran in 1966!

I was at that Houston game where Haygood Clark ran back the interception to win the game in the last minute.
