Twenty Years and 7 Days ago. A first in the NFL

A game for the ages in the NFL and a first

                In week two of the 1992 NFL Season, the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Buffalo Bills. The Bills were coming off back to back Super Bowl defeats, while the 49ers were coming off a non playoff season. Both teams were stocked with Hall of Famers. Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Bill Romanowski. The Bills would go on to defeat the 49ers 34-31. It would be the first game in NFL History that did not have a punt. The Bills would go on to the Super Bowl, losing to the Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers made it to the NFC Championship game losing to the Dallas Cowboys.
