Against the run, the 3-4 scheme uses three big, two-gap defensive linemen playing nose tackle and the two end positions. These linemen are asked to occupy blockers up front, forcing the outside linebackers to seal off the edges. This leaves two inside linebackers chasing down the run instead of one, which helps explain why smaller 4-3 middle linebackers Zach Thomas of the Dolphins and London Fletcher of the Bills wear down during the season.

Defensive back George "Butch" Byrd had a tough decision to make after his Boston University playing days were over in 1964. Take a chance with the AFL or go and play in the NFL. "At that particular time, the AFL was still a fledgling league and the NFL had everything going for it. So anybody who opted for the other league, if you will, was looked upon as you were kind of stupid," laughed Byrd, the Bills’ fourth-round selection.

The train leaves Albany and makes pick-up stops in Schenectady, Syracuse, Utica and Rochester before arriving at the Depew station. From there, Bills Express passengers board buses which take them to Ralph Wilson Stadium.

"I think the sleeping giant is about to awaken in Buffalo," says Colts GM Bill Polian, the lead architect of the Bills’ Super Bowl run in the early 1990s. "Last year, (Bills GM) Tom Donahoe did a great job repairing their offense, and this year he appears to have done a similarly great job of fixing their defense. So much, of course, can still happen, with injuries, bad bounces of the ball, etc. But on paper, that’s now a football team that has to be reckoned with on both sides of the ball."
