TRUE STORY: The day this game aired, I remember thinking at halftime that the game was over, so I took a nap and had set my alarm so I'd wake up right when the next game was to start. When I woke up and turned on the TV, the very first thing I heard was, "... the greatest comeback in the history of the National Football League." It's nice to finally see what I slept through.
I was at this game..only 7 years old at the time and my father said let's leave like everyone else was at halftime. Idk why but I said I wanted to stay so we stayed. Good thing we did. I remember fans who left trying to break back into the stadium. Such great memories from that era...minus the 4 straight superbowl losses of course lol
This game wasn’t televised in Buffalo. I listened to it on the radio and wound up being late for work because I wasn’t going to miss the end of this one for my stupid telemarketing job. It’s great to see this game in full. Totally inspiring!
jamesmiller1972 there would 0% chance of a playoff game in buffalo not selling out now.. this had to have just missed being sold out, and prob bc Kelly was hurt...
This game is legend in Buffalo for sure. Some fans gave up at halftime and left just to get out of the cold. Fans in the nosebleed seats had an opportunity to come down to empty seats and get a better view of the biggest comeback win in NFL history.
Steve Christie kicked off. Scott Norwood was booted so fast even though they had a holding penalty beforehand. Scott Norwood was doing awful 3 years prior to that.
My parents went this game and were telling me how people were trying to climb over the fence to get back in once they realized the bills were coming back
I have to say, what a great game to watch. It wasn't over-officiated, and the late Charlie Jones and especially the late Todd Christensen did a GREAT job with the broadcast.
@@ruthgoldblum919 If there were instant replay the oilers don't lose. Bebee ran out of bounds and ran back inbounds for the td catch amongst other calls that would have been overturned.
And the saddest part of both their deaths were they were both sudden and unexpected. It’s not like they were sick and loved ones had time to mentally prepare 😕
@@lishsc3 Mr. Christensen had been sick for years--he was awaiting a liver transplant-his son had said that a routine gall bladder operation years before had been "botched" and Mr. Christensen had suffered for years afterward that eventually worsened that he needed a transplant
I'm sad we lost that day, but the memories of my dad cussing up a storm as Houston crumbled will live with me forever, love you always dad! We may not have agreed on many things, but watching the Oilers, I will cherish forever, man I miss those days.
Yeah it was classic. NFL was so awesome than. They played for the game and nothing else. My house were Bills fans but I never hated the Oilers. I was actually a Warren moon fan
Houston has done everything it could to get the rights but Tenessee won't surrender the rights. Even thought the titans do nothing with the history of the team prior to Tenessee
Yeah the problem was they had the ingredients but they had the wrong formula. They had a talented defense, a great O-line and good runningbacks so they should have drafted some tight ends and fullbacks and played smashmouth football. If Buddy Ryan was the coach they would have gone further or hell Bum Phillips.
Todd Christensen was something else. So articulate and intelligent and played for the outcasts of the league in the Raiders, and was awesome on color commentary. Nobody would ever imagine he was on a team that won two Super Bowls.
Thats what the Raiders were. Broken up personalities but they delivered no matter what. They should make a movie about the Raiders season to super bowl victory at the end of the film.
crowtservo because they were still called the oilers in Tennessee for a bit and they still kept the oilers colors as the Titans. But they don’t wear red trim on their jerseys anymore out of deference to Houston.
I remember that day well. I lived in Houston, and we were driving to McAllen, 5 hours away. When we left Houston they were so far ahead by halftime, that we felt the game was in the bag. We lost radio contact of the game, and were shocked to hear the final score when we arrived. Totally dumbfounded beyond belief. It was so sad.
The next day the entire Oiler defensive coaching staff was unceremoniously fired--it is believed that this loss was the catalyst for the ultimate move of the Oilers to Tennessee. Warren Moon has said that when he was inducted into the HOF all he could think about that day was this loss
Naghavi, Stop crying. It was one td. Beebe stepped out of bounds. But they would've still scored on that drive anyway. Houston's defense was pourous. If you look closely, you can literally see the Houston players choking on their sideline.
Loved Andre Reed. He was absolutely fearless coming across the middle. A very unselfish teammate and a great guy too. Instead of making his Hall of Fame speech all about himself he made it into a tribute to his former QB...Jim Kelly...who was suffering from cancer at the time. One of the best receivers I've ever seen after the catch as well. Very deserving of the HOF.
I agree andre was a warrior.. One of the most physical recievers of all time..every defensive player wanted to take his head off(because he was jim Kelly's main guy)..but he never got hurt and continued to play over the middle
The greatest comeback in NFL history. Bar none. People just want to say Super Bowl LI because it's the Super Bowl, and it's the Patriots, and it's so very recent. But we have to remember, they had Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick. The Bills didn't have their Hall of Fame Quarterback. I repeat, they did this with a BACKUP QUARTERBACK. At least with the Patriots, Brady and Bellichick had a shot because they were them. But this should not have been even POSSIBLE in the FIRST PLACE. Super Bowl LI has the advantage in just stage, and that's it. In every other manner, this comeback has it beat. Super Bowl LI is the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, without a doubt. It's the No. 2 comeback. But The Comeback is The Comeback. You don't get any better than that.
+Nicholas Rivera My condolences, I sympathize. I would have loved to see them win 4 super bowls in a row. God! I hate the Cowboys. They should have won their 1st one. For lack of a kicker.
You guys seem to be near the end of your rebuild, now that Brady is a lot worse and may actually leave New England next season, this will be your time to shine -Chiefs fan
The Bills were such an exciting team to watch in the 90's especially in Buffalo. I miss those days. They have some good players today, but it's just not the same. When you can remember the names of more than 2/3 of the team, it's a great team despite the 4 Superbowl losses.
Exactly! There will never be another Bills Team like the one from the 90's ... everyone in Buffalo knew all the players. So many many great names!! Wow!
then that stupid/demented owner of the Bills-Ralph Wilson fired the architect of these SB teams--GM Bill Polian in 1993 over an argument Polian had with the team's treasurer Jeff Littman. From that point on the Bills began their long decline into oblivion that was accelerated after the "Music City" miracle game-it took the Bills 17 years to make the playoffs again (no playoffs from 1999 to 2016)
@@bufnyfan1 Wow, I didn't know that. That team is as snake bitten as the Vikings & Browns. (I didn't mention the Lions cuz they just simply stink!) This time the Bills fell victim to the STUPID ongoing overtime rules that allow a coin flip to decide the winner!! The NFL finally amended the overtime rules for 2022 to include touchdowns, but only for post season.
That's the pre-cap days. They made this massive move towards parity, but personally I miss those monster teams even though my own team was not among the elite. You knew who half the team was even though it wasn't yours, you knew that in the superbowl you were going to see a bunch of legendary players all on the field at the same time. It's just not like that now... it's all kind of the same to me.
That's the guy that Buddy Ryan punched on the sideline. Yup the DC of the Oilers punched the OC in a live game. All that passing was killing his defense. He called the Run & Shoot offense the Chuck & Duck
@@mongoslade277 Actually, this game was on Sunday January 3, 1993. After looking more into it the next day, Defensive Backs coach Pat Thomas and Offensive Coordinator Jim Eddy was fired

When the 49ers intercepted Mahomes for the last time and went into the end zone for their group photo, I remember thinking, "Yeah, it's too early to be celebrating like that."
Overrated. These retro games are kind of appealing. No distraction scoreboard on all the time. Officiating could be a little better though. Lotta missed calls.
Stephen Poehler distraction scoreboard? Watching this i had no idea what the score was most of the time. I understand being critical of todays world can be "cool" sometimes but lets appreciate conveniences when we see them
Taek nam i understand retro can be a little confusing but most of those things can be prevented if you just pay attention to something for more than 15 seconds. I understand the importance of having the clock on the screen in 2 minute drills and things like that. But these games literally had the score and clock posted at the start of almost every drive.
@@snotloutisagod2956 It can be released by the Adams family. The New York AFL team was the Titans before the Jets. The owner of that name let Adams have it for his Tennessee team.
@@michaelleroy9281 Houston could petition the NFL for a name change. Dallas used to be the Texans and Houston got the rights to that name. That would take lots of money though. Bud adams is dead and his wife doesn't seem to bright. Probably won't happen but it's worth a shot
I remember my dad said the game was over and he was going to stack firewood. I kept watching though and yelled to him every Bills TD. When it got to 35-31 he ran back in and we watched 🙂
I was at work Tampa Florida and my Pittsburgh Steeler boss laughing at me saying your bills are getting blown out already when I got home it was halftime 35-3 I said let’s go in and watch the greatest comeback ever and I had no idea that was going to be true
Poor Houston. First this madness and then on top of that they got Montana'd out of the post-season the following year. This is why you run up the score and you don't give a #$%# about it. All it took was one onside kick recovery and this game just snowballed out of control... and That was with Jim Kelly on the bench and a hobbled Thurman Thomas. Unreal. Of course Buffalo would go on to suffer through their own horrors... in the superbowl. four of them.
A lot of fault for the failures of the Oilers of this era was Jack Pardee. He was too nice too lax and none of his teams were disciplined enough. Jack Pardee and his entire staff should have been fired after the meltdown in Denver the year before. It also didn't help they were owned by one of the worst owners in the NFL, Bud Adams.
@@bubbajames205 yep. As a houstonian I cam attest we are cursed in all sports. Astros found cheating for their only WS. Rockets win because jordan retires. Texans are the texans. The oilers about to go to the super bowl more than likely.
Face Off I watched this game all the way through back in the day in utter disbelief. The KC game was just disappointing. You knew KC was gonna put points on the board but still.... And then BOB trades Hopkins for nothing. FML....
Their uniforms did look cool, but at the same time I feel this collapse was the death knell for the team Had they won this game they surely would’ve went all the way to the Super Bowl though i doubt they would’ve beaten Dallas as they were the team of the 90’s
Houston QB Warren Moon was elected and entered the Pro Football HOF in 2006. He has said that during the ceremony all he could think of was this loss and how it has "haunted" him all these years later
I remember this game SOOooo well. I was mad at myself because I overslept. The second half had just started, so it was already 28-3. I couldn't believe it. I almost turned the TV off when the Oilers went up 35-3. But I was shipping out to Parris Island (USMC boot camp, for those that don't know) only three days later. Since I would miss the rest of the playoffs, I decided to tough it out and continue watching my Bills get slaughtered. What. A. Sendoff.
the fact some people believe this isnt the greatest comeback in NFL history. that some eagles and giants game was. is just plain wrong. what a great win for buffalo.
The only people who believe the Eagles comeback was better are the Eagles' fans. Because the comeback was in a playoff game and the fact the Bills used it to get back to the Super Bowl makes it the greatest comeback ever. The Eagles wound up getting crushed in the wild card round.
Nathaniel Levesque i just dislike searching the greatest comeback in NFL history and i see over 4 million views on that eagles game. and not a one for the bills game which really deserves it.
brogan murray agreed. If you go nearly 60 years without a championship, you'll cling on to anything good that happens to your team and proclaim it as the greatest thing in the history of the sport.
This is clearly numerically the greatest and best comeback in NFL history. There is no question of that. I wish they rode it to Super Bowl glory, but what can you do?
As a Browns fan, you Bills fans definitely have my sympathy. You see a legendary game like this and like me, now you'd give anything to see your team participate in a playoff game again!
Our Bills were in the playoffs this year. I'm sorry about the Browns imperfect season. At some point, the Browns will be back in the playoffs. They just have to be...
"They don't want it baby" "It is bedlam; it is pandemonium; it is FANdemonium" two all time great quotes from this classic game. What a great game this was - unless you were an Oilers/Titans fan.
My dad turned the game off at 35 to 3. I went upstairs to watch, about 20 minutes later, I walked downstairs and said it 35-24.. We watched the rest of this amazing comeback together.
I'm not from Buffalo but I feel for their Super Bowl losses. The end of this game gave me goose bumps watching the players and fans celebrate the win. Its almost like someone upstairs said, "I can't give you a Super Bowl win but I can give you the greatest comeback in the history of your sport. Oh, by the way, you're doing it at home in front of your fans."
Greatest comeback in NFL history was the Patriots over the Falcons in the superbowl. The bills don't even come close to winning this game if there were instant replay back then. Beebe was way out of bounds and came back in as well as other plays that were missed.
Wow!.. Didn't realize that Buffalo's receiver stepped out on his way to the endzone on the touchdown that made the score 35-31. Also with that holding no call on Givens on the Odomes interception. Wow, Oilers could have used the challenge system back then bigtime.
Beebe was pushed very hard though - he would not have been out of bounds but for that hard push. I don't know if the rule accounts for that but it definitely should if not.
@@humanbeing2420 They had the force out rule then but Beebe took 2 full steps 3 yds out of bounds on his own. Houston got some terrible no calls that impacted the game. Up 35-3 though you've gotta win that game
I remember this game vividly. The beating was so bad that my Dad decided it was time to wash the car with us kids. It was so cold out, the water was freezing onto the car, and my Mom was screaming from the door that Buffalo was coming back and that we should all come back inside while my Dad insisted there was no chance. Ah the memories.
I remember this game because I was in the hospital with a bleeding ulcer and I had the game on not really paying any mind to it and I remember looking up and seeing the bills came back to win and I couldn’t believe it! This was in Frederick Maryland, I have a friend who is a bills fan, so I kind of root for them. Washington is my team, but I was happy for Buffalo.
I called my dad today and told him this is no longer the greatest comeback in NFL history. I said, do you remember where we were that day? He said I don't remember where I was yesterday 😂. I'll never forget listening to the radio broadcast. Like most people we said this is over at halftime. We got back in the truck and the postgame was on. We heard, well folks we just witnessed the greatest comeback in NFL history. Never forget that day. The 90's was such a great era for sports. 🍻
There were many that Oilers didn't get Bebe went out of bounds before he caught a td pass there was a takedown in OT on Moon's last INT that was the biggest
30 years later I’d like to say thank you to the NFL for blacking our this game in the local area of Buffalo. Greatest game for the Bills and we couldn’t watch it. Thanks NFL!
In my opinion, he was shoved (watch the replay again, he's still stumbling from the shove by the defender). If you're pushed out of bounds, you need to get both feet back in before you can make a play, which Beebe did.
Has anyone noticed that Josh Allen is a great comeback quarterback? I’m in Australia and watched so many of these games and the similarities between the team then and now is strikingly similar... More experienced talent back then but the way players approach the game is remarkable. I am an avid follower of AFL and the St Kilda Saints are my team.... underdogs like the Bills but an incredibly passionate fan base like the Bills. The stars are aligning and it’s time to shine... Go Bills!!!
I took a nap during the first half. Woke up at halftime to hear Bob Costas saying "The Houston Oilers are kicking their butts!" Watched the 2nd half in AWE! Saw NFL history. Relived it today.
Wow..time flies! I was 12yo... never seen the second half until now..I turned on my s.nintendo and played all day long..only to see the news saying that we lost.😣☹️
Ahh the memories. This game was a birthday gift. There was such electricity around Buffalo in the early 90s. I may have become a Saints fan when I really started to understand the gAme but this was magical.
How Houston or any coach survives without ever running the ball is beyond me. If the Oilers had good offensive clock management, this comeback never happens. Both of these teams were loaded with talent too. Crazy.
As a Bills fan living in NJ, I didn't get to see too many games on TV. I remember watching this on an afternoon when my family was putting away our Christmas decorations/tree. It felt like every time I came upstairs with another box of things, the score changed in the second half. Despite getting a warning from my mom, I would watched more and more as the comeback progressed. Ultimately she gave up when she realized the magnitude of the game. This game was certainly a great childhood memory!
Kind of like the Bullets being wiped out of the NBA. Cool relics from a bygone age. They'd never have survived the PC age and things like BP/Gulf Spills.
This game cost me a couple of hundred bucks... Not total, but I was in a pool with some buddies where you had to (before the season) pick every game in the NFL with a point value assigned for each game. Yes, every single game BEFORE the season. We were picking week 16 game outcomes in the pre-season (not against the spread, just winners and losers) The playoffs were set up by your selections of the season and match-ups weren't picked, just what teams you had that were "still alive" each round. It came down to me and another guy and all I had to have happen for me to win the whole thing (and the pool) was Houston had to reach the next round of the playoffs. That's it. I was dancing and celebrating at half time - games end, I was as dejected as you can get and I wasn't even an Oilers fan.
The Buffalo Bills of the 90s they are a true winner I don’t care if they lost 4 super bowls I’m a Cowboys fan but that team was so talented I cannot stop watching old videos of the team they were awesome
That game should be called HOW? How can u really blow leads in the nfl CHIEFS 2013 AFC WILD CARD PLAYOFFS UP 38-10 Lose 45-44 Chiefs 2018 wildcard playoffs Up 21-3 Lose 22-21 49ers 1957 playoffs up 24-7 Lose 31-27 Falcons up 28-3 supet bowl Lose 34-28 Jets up 30-7 monday night football Lose 40-37 And finally Giants up 31-10 IN THE FOURTH QUARTER with over 8 MINUTES AND BLOW IT 38-31 This is my third time watching the end of the game knowing they were up 35-3 And its sad Teams that blow three possessions in the nfl Are the HOW teams Kansas city HOW 2013,2018 Tennessee HOW 1992 Etc. THE HOW TEAMS. LOL HOW?!!!!
when i watch this game, i feel bad for the Oilers...so much talent. They remind me of the mid-2000's Chargers: just came up short in every playoff game. Bills had all the steely poise
Jerry Gray had 2 legitimate beefs with Beebe after the onside kick in the 3rd Q. Beebe clearly wasn't down at the 42 and fumbled. Gray recovered. Then on the TD pass a few plays later Beebe was out of bounds on the route.
Today, Gray could have just thrown the challenge flag on either of those plays, and either would have gone his way (the latter is more likely to be a successful challenge, IMO)...
Bryson Hall - and that backup QB is now head coach of the Colts! He also coached (can't remember, QB coach or OC) for last years SB winners - the Eagles. He finally got that ring.
Rabid Bears fan here. Yeah, great comeback by the Bills, but they got 2 BS hometown calls in their favor in the 3rd quarter (i.e. Reed's fumble wasn't called and Beebe did step out of bounds just before he caught that pass for their 2nd TD). And it pisses me off that the Houston Oilers don't exist anymore.
IMO, if challenge flags existed in 1993, Houston throws them and likely prevails, IMO; not that it would matter, since Dallas would have won against any AFC team that year...
This 1992 Oilers team may have been the most sure-fire Super Bowl contender of the Run-N-Shoot era (1990-1993). Had they simply hung on to this win they would've taken care of both Pittsburgh and Miami as Buffalo did and there would have been a monumental Super Bowl vs the young Dallas Cowboys. When Bubba McDowell returned the 3rd quarter pick for a TD, the Oilers' radio announcers including legendary coach Bum Phillips sang songs of triumph. It was the highest moment the Oilers and their fans would have until the team was taken away after the 1996 season. The first two and half quarters are still ambrosia for us Oilers fans. We will always remember this amazing performance.
I was there!!!! My Dad lived right off of Abbott and at half time he said "wanna see the game?!" because everyone had left and the gates were open. We walked up, sat at the 50 yard line, and watched the greatest comeback in NFL history! I'm going to make sure I watch this before it disappears!
Well, Warren Moon is finally off the hook--after nearly 30 YEARS. Matt Ryan is now on the receiving end of being up 28-3 in the Super Bowl and 33-0 today--and losing BOTH...
This game was the ultimate exposure of the fatal flaw in the Oilers' Run And Shoot offense. It was completely devoid of any kind of power running game that would have eaten up clock in the second half. When you can only move the ball by throwing it, the clock stops when you aren't completing the passes anymore. This, along with a couple of fortuitous missed calls by the referees, allowed Buffalo to get back into and eventually win the game.
@@thekansasjayhawk3504 The 2022 Indianapolis Colts blew a 33-point lead and lost to the Minnesota Vikings. The 1992 Houston Oilers blew a 32-point lead and lost to the Buffalo Bills.
U mean Buffalo Bills? They made the comeback vs Houston Oilers in the playoffs. I believe Colts made a big comeback in the playoffs but not vs Minnesota(nfc) wasnt it the vs chiefs?

crowtservo because they were still called the oilers in Tennessee for a bit and they still kept the oilers colors as the Titans. But they don’t wear red trim on their jerseys anymore out of deference to Houston.
What makes those uniforms so great?
I remember that day well. I lived in Houston, and we were driving to McAllen, 5 hours away. When we left Houston they were so far ahead by halftime, that we felt the game was in the bag. We lost radio contact of the game, and were shocked to hear the final score when we arrived. Totally dumbfounded beyond belief. It was so sad.
The next day the entire Oiler defensive coaching staff was unceremoniously fired--it is believed that this loss was the catalyst for the ultimate move of the Oilers to Tennessee. Warren Moon has said that when he was inducted into the HOF all he could think about that day was this loss
Everyone: Wow, the pats made the greatest comeback in NFL history!
Bills: Am I a joke to you?
@NaghaviSystem waaaah babyrage
@NaghaviSystem tainted just like every single one of the pats* super bowl wins? Don't forget that asterisk, son.
@NaghaviSystem If it weren't for the Tuck Rule, no Pats dynasty, or as most people call it, the F*** Rule.
Naghavi,
Stop crying. It was one td. Beebe stepped out of bounds. But they would've still scored on that drive anyway. Houston's defense was pourous. If you look closely, you can literally see the Houston players choking on their sideline.
As a far a playoff game goes, definitely the Bills but not the Super bowl. I have to give that one to the Pats.
Loved Andre Reed. He was absolutely fearless coming across the middle. A very unselfish teammate and a great guy too. Instead of making his Hall of Fame speech all about himself he made it into a tribute to his former QB...Jim Kelly...who was suffering from cancer at the time. One of the best receivers I've ever seen after the catch as well. Very deserving of the HOF.
I agree andre was a warrior..
One of the most physical recievers of all time..every defensive player wanted to take his head off(because he was jim Kelly's main guy)..but he never got hurt and continued to play over the middle
Blowing a 32-point lead, CLASSIC HOUSTON
+Ndudi Enwereuzor Not the Oilers of the mid to late 70,s. Love Ya Blue.
Ndudi Enwereuzor,
CLASSIC HOUSTON SUCKS.
Justin Duncan I wonder if you say to our faces ??? 🤜🏼🥜🤛🏼
Just remember: The Buffalo Bills lost 4 straight Super Bowls.
Jx son big boy on his keyboard. Tell us do you squat when you piss 🍑 ?
And here shows the largest comeback in NFL history
Why else is it called "The comeback"
To Houston, it's called "The Choke."
RPGFreak901 this isn’t their team anymore though. Does any Oiler history even matter to them now?
Nerd 0208 yea
I'm thinking how did that happen ?
The greatest comeback in NFL history. Bar none. People just want to say Super Bowl LI because it's the Super Bowl, and it's the Patriots, and it's so very recent. But we have to remember, they had Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick. The Bills didn't have their Hall of Fame Quarterback. I repeat, they did this with a BACKUP QUARTERBACK. At least with the Patriots, Brady and Bellichick had a shot because they were them. But this should not have been even POSSIBLE in the FIRST PLACE.
Super Bowl LI has the advantage in just stage, and that's it. In every other manner, this comeback has it beat. Super Bowl LI is the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, without a doubt. It's the No. 2 comeback. But The Comeback is The Comeback. You don't get any better than that.
+TheForce221 Do not forget the Charger/Dolphin game Jan/82 in terms of excitement, 41/38 overtime. Chargers.
Agree 100%
Too bad Buffalo never won the Super Bowl...lost 4 straight while another team in their division have 5
better watch that team while you still can, they wont be a factor after a season or two
Also they lost Thurman Thomas in this game
This was back when it was great being a Bills fan. I just want to see the Bills win a Super Bowl before I die.
+Nicholas Rivera My condolences, I sympathize. I would have loved to see them win 4 super bowls in a row. God! I hate the Cowboys. They should have won their 1st one. For lack of a kicker.
Likwit 716,
We'll See if That Does Happen.
+Likwit 716 So do Viking fans.
We will! With Allen at qb! Plus winning a sb is easier in this era.then the 90s.
You guys seem to be near the end of your rebuild, now that Brady is a lot worse and may actually leave New England next season, this will be your time to shine
-Chiefs fan
The Bills were such an exciting team to watch in the 90's especially in Buffalo. I miss those days. They have some good players today, but it's just not the same. When you can remember the names of more than 2/3 of the team, it's a great team despite the 4 Superbowl losses.
Exactly! There will never be another Bills Team like the one from the 90's ... everyone in Buffalo knew all the players. So many many great names!! Wow!
then that stupid/demented owner of the Bills-Ralph Wilson fired the architect of these SB teams--GM Bill Polian in 1993 over an argument Polian had with the team's treasurer Jeff Littman. From that point on the Bills began their long decline into oblivion that was accelerated after the "Music City" miracle game-it took the Bills 17 years to make the playoffs again (no playoffs from 1999 to 2016)
@@bufnyfan1 Wow, I didn't know that. That team is as snake bitten as the Vikings & Browns. (I didn't mention the Lions cuz they just simply stink!) This time the Bills fell victim to the STUPID ongoing overtime rules that allow a coin flip to decide the winner!! The NFL finally amended the overtime rules for 2022 to include touchdowns, but only for post season.
That's the pre-cap days.
They made this massive move towards parity, but personally I miss those monster teams even though my own team was not among the elite. You knew who half the team was even though it wasn't yours, you knew that in the superbowl you were going to see a bunch of legendary players all on the field at the same time. It's just not like that now... it's all kind of the same to me.
The Oilers OC really did everything possible to let Buffalo back in it. Up by 4 TDs and all that passing in the second half.
That's the guy that Buddy Ryan punched on the sideline. Yup the DC of the Oilers punched the OC in a live game. All that passing was killing his defense. He called the Run & Shoot offense the Chuck & Duck

Savage Brick Same...
Moral of the story, beware getting a 28-3 lead. Best game I ever watched.
Something about that score 28-3 that would be heard from again years later
Moral of all comebacks. DON'T GET CUTE. KEEP PLAYING AS IF YOU TRAIL.
The one thing Ron Rivera never learned
Happens quite often. Trump may lose because of this very reason . Always always respect your adversary. Don't rub salt in the opposition
When the 49ers intercepted Mahomes for the last time and went into the end zone for their group photo, I remember thinking, "Yeah, it's too early to be celebrating like that."
Charlie Jones just had a GREAT broadcaster's voice. I really enjoyed him and Todd doing the broadcasting work for this game.
And that’s why Jim Eddy and Pat Thomas got fired
And why this game was the death knell for the team
The First Down Yellow Line Is Underrated.
tell that to the ppl who invented the technology for it. multi-millionaires
Overrated. These retro games are kind of appealing. No distraction scoreboard on all the time. Officiating could be a little better though. Lotta missed calls.
Stephen Poehler distraction scoreboard? Watching this i had no idea what the score was most of the time. I understand being critical of todays world can be "cool" sometimes but lets appreciate conveniences when we see them
Taek nam i understand retro can be a little confusing but most of those things can be prevented if you just pay attention to something for more than 15 seconds. I understand the importance of having the clock on the screen in 2 minute drills and things like that. But these games literally had the score and clock posted at the start of almost every drive.
And they had the distance and the first down marker is clearly visable on the other end of the field. I don't see the big confusion.
Dam that was awesome… I hope the Bills get a Super Bowl victory soon with Josh Allen. You deserve one Buffalo Fans
The Oilers is a great name. Bring it back.
Unfortunately it's retired.
@@snotloutisagod2956 It can be released by the Adams family. The New York AFL team was the Titans before the Jets. The owner of that name let Adams have it for his Tennessee team.
Bring it back how, genius?
@@michaelleroy9281 don't be that guy. Idiot.
@@michaelleroy9281 Houston could petition the NFL for a name change. Dallas used to be the Texans and Houston got the rights to that name. That would take lots of money though. Bud adams is dead and his wife doesn't seem to bright. Probably won't happen but it's worth a shot
I remember my dad said the game was over and he was going to stack firewood. I kept watching though and yelled to him every Bills TD. When it got to 35-31 he ran back in and we watched 🙂
I remember i was 13 WATCHING with my mom saying this game over at halftime then started rooting for the BILLS
@@ronnielister1023 okay and you were where? What city
You could see the Hall of Fame in Andre Reeds future The man made a living across the middle. No fear.

What happened at work the next day you went in?
What's funny is buffalo went on to beat Pittsburgh after this
Poor Houston. First this madness and then on top of that they got Montana'd out of the post-season the following year.
This is why you run up the score and you don't give a #$%# about it.
All it took was one onside kick recovery and this game just snowballed out of control...
and That was with Jim Kelly on the bench and a hobbled Thurman Thomas. Unreal.
Of course Buffalo would go on to suffer through their own horrors... in the superbowl. four of them.
+penoyer79 Do not forget 78, 79, 80.
Don't forget, the Oilers also got Elway'd out the previous year. That team could not hold a lead.
Wrenched my guts! Seeing The Oilers lose. Damn i wanted them to GO to the SB.
A lot of fault for the failures of the Oilers of this era was Jack Pardee. He was too nice too lax and none of his teams were disciplined enough. Jack Pardee and his entire staff should have been fired after the meltdown in Denver the year before. It also didn't help they were owned by one of the worst owners in the NFL, Bud Adams.

Their uniforms did look cool, but at the same time I feel this collapse was the death knell for the team
Had they won this game they surely would’ve went all the way to the Super Bowl though i doubt they would’ve beaten Dallas as they were the team of the 90’s
Houston QB Warren Moon was elected and entered the Pro Football HOF in 2006. He has said that during the ceremony all he could think of was this loss and how it has "haunted" him all these years later
I remember this game SOOooo well. I was mad at myself because I overslept. The second half had just started, so it was already 28-3. I couldn't believe it. I almost turned the TV off when the Oilers went up 35-3. But I was shipping out to Parris Island (USMC boot camp, for those that don't know) only three days later. Since I would miss the rest of the playoffs, I decided to tough it out and continue watching my Bills get slaughtered. What. A. Sendoff.
Wish they saved their comeback juice for against the Cowboys because they constantly just couldn’t stop turning the ball over
I listened to an interview with Bills running back, Kenny Davis. What an amazing attitude he had in this game. He was HUGE in this comeback.
I don't care what no one says, I still think that the Music City Miracle was the Oilers/Titans revenge against Buffalo.
That's just me
Damon Dukes well duh it is.
the fact some people believe this isnt the greatest comeback in NFL history. that some eagles and giants game was. is just plain wrong. what a great win for buffalo.
The only people who believe the Eagles comeback was better are the Eagles' fans. Because the comeback was in a playoff game and the fact the Bills used it to get back to the Super Bowl makes it the greatest comeback ever. The Eagles wound up getting crushed in the wild card round.
Nathaniel Levesque i just dislike searching the greatest comeback in NFL history and i see over 4 million views on that eagles game. and not a one for the bills game which really deserves it.
brogan murray agreed. If you go nearly 60 years without a championship, you'll cling on to anything good that happens to your team and proclaim it as the greatest thing in the history of the sport.
This is clearly numerically the greatest and best comeback in NFL history. There is no question of that. I wish they rode it to Super Bowl glory, but what can you do?
brogan murray search up the miracle in meadowlands on TH-cam you'll see
As a Browns fan, you Bills fans definitely have my sympathy. You see a legendary game like this and like me, now you'd give anything to see your team participate in a playoff game again!
Zach Allen Ay, same to you guys, you suffer at least as much as we do
Our Bills were in the playoffs this year. I'm sorry about the Browns imperfect season. At some point, the Browns will be back in the playoffs. They just have to be...
Well, they did finally get to play another playoff game this year!
Call me crazy but don't let Hue Jackson go. He's capable of turning it around.
Glad you guys came back against TENN. 29-28 for y’all when down 28-3!
"They don't want it baby"
"It is bedlam; it is pandemonium; it is FANdemonium"
two all time great quotes from this classic game. What a great game this was - unless you were an Oilers/Titans fan.
Who’s here after the Vikings just came back from a *33-0* deficit against the Colts?
Me. What a way to win an NFC North title for the Minnesota Vikings.
Me. That's why I decided to watch this game
Me I said the same thing
Still the greatest ever playoff comeback.
My dad turned the game off at 35 to 3.
I went upstairs to watch, about 20 minutes later, I walked downstairs and said it 35-24..
We watched the rest of this amazing comeback together.
Carlton Bailey, Cornelius Bennett, Darryl Talley & Shane Conlan...Bill's linebackers in the wonder years!! Wow
I'm not from Buffalo but I feel for their Super Bowl losses. The end of this game gave me goose bumps watching the players and fans celebrate the win. Its almost like someone upstairs said, "I can't give you a Super Bowl win but I can give you the greatest comeback in the history of your sport. Oh, by the way, you're doing it at home in front of your fans."
Greatest comeback in NFL history was the Patriots over the Falcons in the superbowl. The bills don't even come close to winning this game if there were instant replay back then. Beebe was way out of bounds and came back in as well as other plays that were missed.
Wow!.. Didn't realize that Buffalo's receiver stepped out on his way to the endzone on the touchdown that made the score 35-31. Also with that holding no call on Givens on the Odomes interception. Wow, Oilers could have used the challenge system back then bigtime.
Beebe was pushed very hard though - he would not have been out of bounds but for that hard push. I don't know if the rule accounts for that but it definitely should if not.
@@humanbeing2420 They had the force out rule then but Beebe took 2 full steps 3 yds out of bounds on his own. Houston got some terrible no calls that impacted the game. Up 35-3 though you've gotta win that game
I remember this game vividly. The beating was so bad that my Dad decided it was time to wash the car with us kids. It was so cold out, the water was freezing onto the car, and my Mom was screaming from the door that Buffalo was coming back and that we should all come back inside while my Dad insisted there was no chance. Ah the memories.
i remember watching this and thinking "at least Buffalo wont stink up another super bowl...' Little did I know.
I remember this game because I was in the hospital with a bleeding ulcer and I had the game on not really paying any mind to it and I remember looking up and seeing the bills came back to win and I couldn’t believe it! This was in Frederick Maryland, I have a friend who is a bills fan, so I kind of root for them. Washington is my team, but I was happy for Buffalo.
That backfield at Oklahoma State: Thurman Thomas AND Barry Sanders. SMH.
Was an Oilers season ticket holder. This was the worst day of being a sports fan in my entire life.
I called my dad today and told him this is no longer the greatest comeback in NFL history. I said, do you remember where we were that day? He said I don't remember where I was yesterday 😂. I'll never forget listening to the radio broadcast. Like most people we said this is over at halftime. We got back in the truck and the postgame was on. We heard, well folks we just witnessed the greatest comeback in NFL history. Never forget that day. The 90's was such a great era for sports. 🍻
There were many that Oilers didn't get Bebe went out of bounds before he caught a td pass there was a takedown in OT on Moon's last INT that was the biggest
30 years later I’d like to say thank you to the NFL for blacking our this game in the local area of Buffalo. Greatest game for the Bills and we couldn’t watch it. Thanks NFL!
I once heard Marv Levy say of the 80 thousand plus that attended this game he's met about 400,000 of them! lol!
Levy was funny af.
Jones and Christensen game commentary just fabulous during this awesome game!
yes although one of those touchdowns should not have counted due to reciever going out of bounds and was ineligible
In my opinion, he was shoved (watch the replay again, he's still stumbling from the shove by the defender). If you're pushed out of bounds, you need to get both feet back in before you can make a play, which Beebe did.
Has anyone noticed that Josh Allen is a great comeback quarterback? I’m in Australia and watched so many of these games and the similarities between the team then and now is strikingly similar...
More experienced talent back then but the way players approach the game is remarkable. I am an avid follower of AFL and the St Kilda Saints are my team.... underdogs like the Bills but an incredibly passionate fan base like the Bills. The stars are aligning and it’s time to shine... Go Bills!!!
NaghaviSystem ... I’ll bet your a Trump follower... you sound like a “know-it-all” American knob. I’m entitled to my opinion so go f**k yourself.
Dam it feels good to see these legends play again. Maryland fans know about Frank and that comeback game against University of Miami
I took a nap during the first half. Woke up at halftime to hear Bob Costas saying "The Houston Oilers are kicking their butts!" Watched the 2nd half in AWE! Saw NFL history. Relived it today.
Wow..time flies! I was 12yo... never seen the second half until now..I turned on my s.nintendo and played all day long..only to see the news saying that we lost.😣☹️
Damn so you’ve been thinking they lost for decades! Lol
Ahh the memories. This game was a birthday gift. There was such electricity around Buffalo in the early 90s. I may have become a Saints fan when I really started to understand the gAme but this was magical.
How Houston or any coach survives without ever running the ball is beyond me. If the Oilers had good offensive clock management, this comeback never happens. Both of these teams were loaded with talent too. Crazy.
The Oilers chose not to run the ball. They had a very good RB and took the ball out of his hands.
As a Bills fan living in NJ, I didn't get to see too many games on TV. I remember watching this on an afternoon when my family was putting away our Christmas decorations/tree. It felt like every time I came upstairs with another box of things, the score changed in the second half. Despite getting a warning from my mom, I would watched more and more as the comeback progressed. Ultimately she gave up when she realized the magnitude of the game. This game was certainly a great childhood memory!
Who’s here after the Vikings came back from 33-0?
The true greatest comeback didn't have 2 point conversions! That's a big difference. 2 point conversions shave off possessions.
I miss Marv so much. Epic boogers, great coaching. A great man!
I wish the Texans were still the Oilers
James Williams the Titans are the Oilers
Kudjoe Adkins-Battle I'm saying I wish they let Houston keep the name ik they moved to Tennessee
James Williams I'm sure you know bruh. But there could never be another Oiler team. I am an Oiler fan. I rolled when the Oiler team did.
Kind of like the Bullets being wiped out of the NBA. Cool relics from a bygone age. They'd never have survived the PC age and things like BP/Gulf Spills.
The only reason the Texans are not called the Oilers is the owner of the Titans wanted to much money for the name.
This game cost me a couple of hundred bucks... Not total, but I was in a pool with some buddies where you had to (before the season) pick every game in the NFL with a point value assigned for each game. Yes, every single game BEFORE the season. We were picking week 16 game outcomes in the pre-season (not against the spread, just winners and losers) The playoffs were set up by your selections of the season and match-ups weren't picked, just what teams you had that were "still alive" each round. It came down to me and another guy and all I had to have happen for me to win the whole thing (and the pool) was Houston had to reach the next round of the playoffs. That's it. I was dancing and celebrating at half time - games end, I was as dejected as you can get and I wasn't even an Oilers fan.
The Buffalo Bills of the 90s they are a true winner I don’t care if they lost 4 super bowls I’m a Cowboys fan but that team was so talented I cannot stop watching old videos of the team they were awesome
They lost which makes them LOSERS
It's impossible to dislike those old Oilers unis.

HOW?!!!!
when i watch this game, i feel bad for the Oilers...so much talent. They remind me of the mid-2000's Chargers: just came up short in every playoff game. Bills had all the steely poise
This game was the death knell for the Oilers
Even with the backup qb.This team is absolutely incredible
Good, but sadly not good enough to get a title in the end
There would be no comeback against Dallas a few weeks later. Bills got absolutely wrecked
did football fans in the past have to like keep score on their own on a notebook or something?
No they had a scoreboard. Legendary concept.
Dylan Burnett I'm sure THEY did. I meant those watching at home.
8bitskyliner yeah lol it only showed the score at commercial breaks
sports broadcasts have NOT aged well at all pre-2003 or so.
And they never showed the clock until it was close to the end of the quarter.
Jerry Gray had 2 legitimate beefs with Beebe after the onside kick in the 3rd Q. Beebe clearly wasn't down at the 42 and fumbled. Gray recovered. Then on the TD pass a few plays later Beebe was out of bounds on the route.
Today, Gray could have just thrown the challenge flag on either of those plays, and either would have gone his way (the latter is more likely to be a successful challenge, IMO)...
These refs made some terrible calls. The Oilers definitely should have won this.
Hard to believe a backup quarterback made this type of comeback
Bryson Hall With a backup running back too!
That's what will make this comeback the greatest of all time forever.
Even if a bigger deficit is overcome. It won't be by a Backup's hands.
frank riech best backup of all time
Bryson Hall - and that backup QB is now head coach of the Colts! He also coached (can't remember, QB coach or OC) for last years SB winners - the Eagles. He finally got that ring.
And that same quarterback, now the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, stuck it to the Texans in the playoffs this past season. Wow.
Rabid Bears fan here. Yeah, great comeback by the Bills, but they got 2 BS hometown calls in their favor in the 3rd quarter (i.e. Reed's fumble wasn't called and Beebe did step out of bounds just before he caught that pass for their 2nd TD). And it pisses me off that the Houston Oilers don't exist anymore.
IMO, if challenge flags existed in 1993, Houston throws them and likely prevails, IMO; not that it would matter, since Dallas would have won against any AFC team that year...
lb3g4m3rcyl they didn’t have challenges or replay review back then
lb3g4m3rcyl ...they didnt have them back then
Well the Titans got revenge in 99 with that music city miracle and caused a 17 year playoff drought if that's any consolation.
They still exist..as the Tennessee Titans..and I agree..Houston got hosed on some really horseshit calls..
Jack Pardee went full Schottenheimer and Andy Reid by absolutely stopping everything that worked in the first half.
Yet Jim Eddy and Pat Thomas were the ones that got fired
This 1992 Oilers team may have been the most sure-fire Super Bowl contender of the Run-N-Shoot era (1990-1993). Had they simply hung on to this win they would've taken care of both Pittsburgh and Miami as Buffalo did and there would have been a monumental Super Bowl vs the young Dallas Cowboys.
When Bubba McDowell returned the 3rd quarter pick for a TD, the Oilers' radio announcers including legendary coach Bum Phillips sang songs of triumph. It was the highest moment the Oilers and their fans would have until the team was taken away after the 1996 season.
The first two and half quarters are still ambrosia for us Oilers fans. We will always remember this amazing performance.
Moon, Kelly and Marino all deserved a ring and it turns my stomach that Dilfer has one
@@ryanstatt9910 Don’t forget Tarkenton
@@RYMAN1321 wow, I can't believe I missed him. He should have multiple rings
I was there!!!! My Dad lived right off of Abbott and at half time he said "wanna see the game?!" because everyone had left and the gates were open. We walked up, sat at the 50 yard line, and watched the greatest comeback in NFL history! I'm going to make sure I watch this before it disappears!
If Oilers woulda won this game, the Oilers would STILL be in Houston...
Luis Rivera, I've often wondered that also, Was this the beginning of the relocation?
This and the Kanas City game the following year was the death blow.
All that talent and they could not win one playoff game. They should have fired head coach after this game.
@@JayDogTitan Oh it was, for them to choke away a huge lead like this.
Add to the fact that they just couldn’t reach the Super Bowl
The Oilers got so sloppy and careless in that second half, they helped Buffalo make their comeback. A total team collapse took place.
A 10 point win for the bills
Remember this game like it was yesterday

11 years old. I watched this game from start to finish. Greatest comeback I've ever seen in a football game.
Where were you?
I love watching this. it never gets old.
Well, Warren Moon is finally off the hook--after nearly 30 YEARS.
Matt Ryan is now on the receiving end of being up 28-3 in the Super Bowl and 33-0 today--and losing BOTH...
It will always stick ...
Ryan nd The Falcons just added more sting to the Oilers dowmfall.
It`s amazing how things work out in the game of football....As soon as that momentum shifts look out.
I'm here after watching The Vikings beat the colts
This is now the 2nd best comeback game in NFL history
This game was the ultimate exposure of the fatal flaw in the Oilers' Run And Shoot offense. It was completely devoid of any kind of power running game that would have eaten up clock in the second half. When you can only move the ball by throwing it, the clock stops when you aren't completing the passes anymore. This, along with a couple of fortuitous missed calls by the referees, allowed Buffalo to get back into and eventually win the game.
The 2022 Indianapolis Colts told the 1992 Houston Oilers, "hold our beers."
You must be confused. I'm pretty sure it's the other way around, pal.
@@thekansasjayhawk3504 The 2022 Indianapolis Colts blew a 33-point lead and lost to the Minnesota Vikings.
The 1992 Houston Oilers blew a 32-point lead and lost to the Buffalo Bills.
U mean Buffalo Bills? They made the comeback vs Houston Oilers in the playoffs. I believe Colts made a big comeback in the playoffs but not vs Minnesota(nfc) wasnt it the vs chiefs?
@@manny4812 The 2013 Colts made a huge comeback in the Wild Card round against the Chiefs.
That game meant nothing though
