Orchard Park, New York and Rich Stadium (Now called Ralph Wilson Stadium) was the site of the Greatest Comeback in NFL History engineered by a backup QB.
Their is a reason why the Buffalo Bills went to 4 straight Super Bowls. A great offense and a great defense. A offense led by Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Don Beebe. A defense led by Bruce Smith, Daryl Talley, Phil Hanson, Nate Odomes, Henry Jones
The Bills feel behind the Houston Oilers (Now the Tenneesee Titans) 35-3 in the 3rd Quarter, but Reich, who was Boomer Esiason's backup in college at the University of Maryland, would rally the Bills. Kenny Davis would get the Bills off and running in the 3rd with a Touchdown and then touchdown tosses to Beebe and Reed, who caught 3 alone, helped the Bills storm back to take a 38-35 lead. Al Del Greco would tie the game to force over time.
Henry Jones would intercept Warren Moon in overtime to set up Steve Christie's game winning kick.
Buffalo would go on to beat the Steelers and Dolphins on the road to reach Super Bowl XXVII in Pasadena
