Thank you to everyone who requested this video over the last few years, now we can go back to accidentally dunking on Buffalo sports. We'll have more new videos during the holidays and a special piece dropping once we hit 1 million subscribers, so keep an eye out for that and see y'all soon
As a Bengals fan I want to shoutout Bills mafia for donating tons of money to Andy Dalton’s charity after this game, one of the best fanbases in sports!
@@benbenbenben777 Ya kiddin?! Dolphins fans get snowball pelted by Bills fans, in Miami, in September. How y'all keep it from melting may be the key to combatting climate change.
A huge inflection point in the nfl. Joe Burrow arriving in Cincy, Bills being who they are now, Lamar Jackson in baltimore,. the AFC shaped so much by this
Eh yes and no. The draft pick we used here was Hayden Hurst. We got Lamar with the Pat's first round pick we had from the previous year. Lamar wasnt expected to be on the board at that time Yes we were gonna draft a new QB regardless. But Lamar specifically was a surprise and Ozzie as his parting gift wasnt gonna let him go.
@@kingjayded4752 LEE EVENS WEAK ASS!!!!!!!! All he had to do was secure the ball. He did all that crying when he was in buffalo how they never gave him the ball in big moments then he gets the moment nmand blows it. We will never forgive Lee Evan's
I was at the pre season game between the bengals and the bills. That moment was incredible when dalton walked on the field. An entire stadium of bills fans gave dalton a standing ovation. The energy was so incredible that he goes on to burn our defense on the very first play. Lol
Not even a fan of the Bills or Bengals, but I remember watching this moment and thinking how amazing it was. Glad you did a Rewinder on this! Keep up the good work!
I was watching at work on bosses phone, when that TD happened, I jumped and yelled and ran outside to call my dad haha first ever playoffs for me at the time. Ill remember that for the rest of my life I worked at a grocery store so imagine hearing someone yelling and jumping and running through the store and outside lol
Unless you're a Ravens fan I'm pretty sure everyone loved that moment. The Bills and Bengals were his kinda sad, so to see them help each other out was nice
As a Bengals fan, I never thought I'd see my team on here, much less in a positive light. The effect this had on Buffalo and the charitable contributions that ensued were so great to see.
Yeah. That’s what makes it suspicious to me. The overly hyped response for barely skating into the playoffs with a meager wild-card birth. Like they were gonna get far with Tyrod Taylor. These guys can’t be that happy to have to go to work for one more week. Seems like a programmed response. There were blatant missed tackles by Ravens 26 and 24 at the end. (12:56). Seems like the situation was set up. I’m not here to say “Hey, all your heroes are lying.” or that “Football is fixed.” No. I love football. It’s awesome entertainment. If it is fixed, sometimes it’s fixed in my favor, sometimes it’s not. Just like life. Actually, it makes the game that much more entertaining, spotting the times when the fix is on. I don’t complain because it’s just a game. You win some, you lose some. I’m a Steelers fan, take their playoff game against the Browns last season, for example. You can spot the fix when Maurkise Pouncey, 9 Pro-Bowls, 5 All-Pros, ....at the very beginning, no pressure at all, snaps the ball over Roethlisberger’s head. Professionals don’t do that unless they are told to do that. I never felt this way about NFL football until the Minneapolis Miracle happened. That was the clearest instance of a scripted outcome of pro football. Again, I’m not here to tear down football, I’m just hear to suggest an additional way for you to enjoy the great game of NFL football. Spotting the fix. You can also spot the fix here at 7:57 when #10 for Baltimore bobbles the football to set up the interception by Darqueze Dennard. Pro Football wide receivers are highly trained, HIGHLY TRAINED, to catch the ball a certain way. Like with two hands against their body. The ball was thrown to his gut. He manufactures a bobble to get it in the air. Then watch the run back. Nobody tries to tackle him. Especially Joe Flacco at the end. He just retreats at the last second. I don’t know, I could be wrong. Darqueze may have tried a misdirection, it’s hard to tell because the original footage is in fast-motion.
Ravens fan here. That play was devastating. However, I was happy to see the Bills happy... also glad to find out that the Bills decided to donate to Bengals players' foundations/charities. They did the same thing when they beat us in the playoffs in 2020-2021 season. Lamar got concussed and they decided to donate to his favorite charity. You can say what you want about the Bills, but the Bills fans are a class act.
The more important takeaway from this video is that a lot of folks forget how consistently good the Bengals were for years but could just never finish the deal. Unless it already has been done and I missed it, we need a deep dive into the last 15 or so years of the Bengals.
The Bungles... It's easy to forget they had good years. A lot of bad luck, a lot of questionable decision-making... like Marvin Lewis lasting many years longer than he should have. Such a weird organization.
The Bengals hauled ass against the Ravens just so the Bills could be the contenders they are today. If I was Dalton, id be looking at the Bills now like a proud dad.
Life long Bills fan, story to tell here. I'd just been drinking for five straight days after Xmas, losing almost 2 years of sobriety in the process. December 30 I get taken to the hospital, then transferred to a mental institute to recover and dry out. I woke up at about noon on the day of this game to get in line for lunch, and the guy in front of me has on a Bills shirt. I should mention we're 1000 miles from Buffalo. So, now I have an instant best friend. And sure enough, we watch later that day as this play puts our beloved Bills back in the playoffs. Still sober today, still a loud and proud member of the Mafia. Go Bills. Won not done.
My favorite play in all of sports. I was born in 2001 in Maryland. However, my dad (from Buffalo) raised me a Bills fan and my entire life the Bills were an embarrassment. I would be ashamed to go to school wearing Bills gear because I knew I would get picked on because of it. I remember going into that week feeling hopeless, as if the Bengals stood no chance against the Ravens. At half time, I finally began to believe that this could be the year, only for the tides to turn in the Ravens favor in the second half. When Dalton threw that ball to Boyd, I could not believe it. However, what made it all the better was walking into school with all of my Bills clothes, knowing NO ONE could say anything to me about it anymore. Whenever I see this play, I always get the chills because of this.
Nice. Me on the opposite end as a Ravens fan, completely fair. Like, I wanted the bills to make it into the playoffs this year, but from the past 2 weeks, I was hoping the Ravens make it in with the first wildcard win, and the Bills with the second, so we could fight the Chiefs. But after seeing the Titans win, I knew it had to be one or the other, and seeing that play made me sad. If I saw you with your Bills uniform, I'd congratulate you, but still be really sad about being on the losing end.
Not going to lie, I hate this game. Going to that game actually hurt. It reminds me of how we lost in a similar fashion against the Bengals, being snuffed out of the playoffs in week 17. Really felt like we could've done something in that 2017 year against those Jaguars, but yeah.
@@GrandleJams Ya even as a Bills fan I do agree in that you guys would’ve had a better game against Jacksonville but ending the streak was worth the 10-3 loss.
I was a senior in High School when this happened. Years before, in 7th grade, me and a friend had made a bet with our English Teacher. If the Bills made the playoffs while we were in school, we could dump the water cooler she had in her room on her head. My family went absolutely insane when Boyd made the catch. All I could think about was going into school after Christmas break a few days later, walking into her room with my friend, and her just sighing and laughing at the fact we had remembered after 5 years. Also to be noted, I was not alive the last time the Bills had even made the playoffs, so this was a great day for me.
I remember crying earlier that day when the Browns had lost to go 0-16, but a few hours later, I was smiling ear to ear because the Ravens missed out on the playoffs. How beautiful
Dalton is the definition of a cult hero. The guy with orange hair playing for a team that wears orange, had decent success but never quite got there, has a fun, heart-warming story about him and is a nice guy. I'm not a Bengals fan or a Bills fan but I love Andy
Watching this after the Bills AFC Divisional Game and the Bengals AFCCG against the Chiefs is some how even more poetic but even sadder as a Bills fan. Love you Bengals-bros.
Mariota was very much a QB who was close, but not close enough. To me, if he had Josh Allen’s coaching/development help team, he’d still be with the Titans
We’re definitely going to need a rewinder for that Bengals Steelers 2016 wild card game. I guess you just need to decide if the moment is the game winning kick or Vontaze Burfict ruining AB
The moment should be between Burfict/AB and the FG kick, with the Steelers coach taking the field illegally to taunt Pacman Jones into brushing past a ref, who only called a penalty on Pacman and not the coach illegally on the field AND taunting (worth noting that earlier in that game a Steeler coach was flagged for yanking a Bengals player's hair). Before that the Burfict penalty only barely put Pitt in FG range. It was the Pacman Penalty that made the FG a sure-thing.
Watching this in 2022 still gives me chills. As a Bills fan I remember people watching the game crying tears of joy. And now in 2022 Bills are in again and Cincinnati now has ended they’re 30 year streak and I’m very happy for you guys. Thank you again Dalton!
As an Aussie, I dont even follow these sports. But when you utter those iconic words at the end I honestly get goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME. Welcome, to a moment of historic youtube comments. *presses play on my nose*
Moments that deserve a rewinder 1. Wide right Giants vs Bills 2. Cardinals eliminate the vikings in week 17 3. Aaron Rodgers first playoff game ending in a strip sack returned for a touchdown vs the Cardinals
#2 definitely needs to be a rewinder as the Vikings were 6-0 that season, then lost 7 out of their last 10 and missed the playoffs due to a tie breaker with Green Bay.
I'm not a Bengals fan, but what blew my mind watching this live was the replay after that. Andy Dalton threw a dime of a throw that went right over the outstretched hand of CJ Moseley. It was incredible.
No tears here, but I'm pretty sure everyone on my block heard me yell "ARE YOU F-----G KIDDING ME?!" Definitely did some damage, though. I have never trusted the Ravens defense since.
Five years later, Josh Allen and the Bills have made the postseason four straight times, Joe Burrow and the Bengals reached the Super Bowl, the Ravens got Lamar Jackson with an MVP-season (and somehow still haven't given him a big deal) and the Bills play Bengals for the possibility of the winner being the number one team in the AFC
Bills fans are just some of the most entertaining, likeable fans in any league. Great to see them in the AFC Championship and everybody in the world wishes them best of luck.
I've been working in a bills bar based in North Carolina for about the last 8 years, up until this year, I haven't seen our regular fans as excited as they were watching this game. I'm actually astonished this channel recognizes it for how much it meant to those fans.
Sitting in my car, still getting tears in my eyes. This was, hands down, the most exciting, cathartic thing I have ever seen in a sporting event. To be a lifelong Bills fan and see your team struggle for my entire adult life, it was such an amazing release when this play happened. Bills Mafia for life!!!
And on new years eve day! It was like one of those unexpectedly beautiful snowfalls where you wanna go out and make snow angels even though you're a grown ass man. Just beautiful.
i was out at dinner in rochester and i kid you not literally everybody had their eyes glued to the screens, then when it all went down the entire block of restaurants exploded it was electric
I am so happy you guys are giving attention to a small team like the Cincinnati Bengals. We do not get that much press at all unless it is about Burrow. No one likes to talk about us, even when we had solid teams.
The level of production and hype you build up for these moments is amazing. Getting the whole backstory as to why these plays were so pivotal and great is what makes me wanna sit here all day long absorbing your content. You need to be on NFL network or Sportscenter doing these. It makes these moments so much more gratifying to watch. Good job man, you've made a subscriber out of me.
People hated Dalton. I loved him, guy was amazingly kind to the community and other players. Seriously, guy came into a terrible situation and left with pose and composure.
The best parts of the whole thing are: 1) the Bills making the playoffs after such a long dry spell and the true joy it created in that town; and 2) the outpouring of support from Bills fans to Dalton and Boyd - totally amazing show of appreciation.
@@jdubbs6668 where does Washington play? San Fran? Exactly. East Rutherford is considered a NY suburb. If you call Washington by their name, then call NYG by their names bum
@@ageyoung24 salty? I have a soft spot for the bills since I lived in Buffalo for a while, I’m happy they have this success. I think JA17 deserves the mvp over Rodgers. What I don’t like is this disrespect of the Giants
Honestly, this is one of my favorite vids of all-time. I love coming back to this for such a feel good finish. And the "DO NOT TAPE OVER" on the thumbnail is just the cherry on top. Thank you for being a thing, Secret Base.
As a bills fan, the week after this all happened was so fun. All the videos on social media of bills fans going crazy and the donations to Daltons foundation was so fun. Definitely something I'll always remember as a bills fan, and now we're afc east champs! GO BILLS!
Great job including the team reaction, the fan reaction, and the donations instead of just ending the video. Sometimes the celebration is just as incredible to see as the actual moment especially with all of the context.
I dont think thats big enough for a rewinder. It's why there isn't a rewinder on Rodgers' 60 yard hail mary against the Lions. It's a big play yes, but not impactful enough.
@@Anno023 I think it could have enough impact for a video. There’s plenty of playoff implications to look back on, they could tie it back to the Hopkins trade, and the game itself deserved to be rewinded.
@@Anno023 well, back to back game with the bills getting a last chance td just for it to come back around with another, and with the deandre hopkins trade before, and if the cardinals get the wc, i’d say it’s possible.
@@brownsfan3290 I mean there's not a rewinder on the cheifs rams 105 point game so.. Great regular season games don't mean a rewinder

2015 wildcard Steelers Bengals is the most crazy game I've ever seen. Went into the bathroom seeing that the Steelers lost the game and came out to see the Steelers making the game winning field goal it made no sense but I was damn sure not complaining.
This was prolly one of the greatest things to witness as a Bills fan. I was so nervous watching the game and it being 4th & 12. Andy Dalton will always have a special place in all of Bills Mafia!
This game has had such a huge ripple effect. If the Bengals don't win here, that means the Bills don't make the playoffs in 2017. Which means McDermott would likely have been fired after 2018 for 2 straight non-playoff seasons, which means Josh Allen would not have developed into what he is now. The Bills need to send the Bengals a fruitbasket for every year for the next decade.
Most these games were 1 off games to me but y’all create the entire picture and gives me more insight on teams I didn’t follow in that given moment I appreciate that I love this channel
As a Bills fan since the 90s I hadn’t had a moment like this in nearly 20 years! I broke down after this it changed everything for this franchise ! Never will I forget this day !
I was in the airport bar in Vegas headed home for the holidays when I watched this moment. I was the only Bengals fan in the bar but there were Bills fans there and they loved me and bought my drinks. When I walked to my gate someone asked why the bar was freaking out. Bengals won was all I said and he looked so confused.
Watched this live in Baltimore. Heartbreaking. Could not sleep that night. Glad this play is getting its own video, it was very impactful to me as a football fan.
This is a moment I’ll cherish forever- me and my mom were watching in the living room. A part this video missed was that Dalton threw an interception the play before, but it was called back
You're damn right, but it was all politics, they'd given up a lot for Rob Johnson, and basically flutie wound up in their lap. Imo coaching and backroom staff wanted to vindicate themselves by playing Johnson at the end of the season because they'd look awful otherwise, spending so much to get a backup qb. Sad really, awful outcome
@@scootermcg9910 yeah I agree. I came to football late, about 7 years ago (I'm not from the usa) When I saw that some guy had scored a dropkick this one time I thought it was cool. When I saw he had played for the bills, the team I'd basically randomly decided to support, I thought the guy was even cooler. When I saw his highlights, and heard his story, I couldn't believe the guy. He's still my favorite player and I wear my doing flutie jersey with pride. He would've been special in those playoffs man, what a let down
god, even as a ravens fan i'm glad it went down like this. not only the sheer happiness from the bills team and their fans from getting to the playoffs after so long or the amount of money donated to charities simply because of this one football game the bengals won without even having a chance to get to the playoffs, but also because this loss really woke the ravens management up to change some glaring issues in the team. great story and great video!
I remember this like it was yesterday, I was watching the game at home and everyone but me gave up. So I stayed tuned in and a miracle happened!! Boyd scores and I am shocked! Looking into this I saw that Buffalo was going to make the playoffs and the Ravens weren’t and that was satisfying enough for me. Thank you for the good memory.
Secret Base I bought your Beef hoodie and just want to let you know it was worth every cent and is high quality. Thanks for great content and not ripping your fans off with crappy merch.
This was the happiest moment for me as a Bills fan because it broke are long drought going to the playoffs until yesterday when we won the AFC East for the first time since I was in third grade when I was 9 years old this is insane
Watching this from UC! That’s one of the few things the Bengals accomplished over the past 20 years. God, if we beat the Steelers tomorrow, it’ll be miraculous.
In Buffalo you will never forget where you were at that moment, it was great to because coincidentally it was new years eve so even if you the most casual fan you were most likely at some sort of party to watch it.
Thank you to everyone who requested this video over the last few years, now we can go back to accidentally dunking on Buffalo sports. We'll have more new videos during the holidays and a special piece dropping once we hit 1 million subscribers, so keep an eye out for that and see y'all soon
Can you do Flacco to jacoby jones for a 70 yard td against the broncos to tie the game with 31 seconds left in the 2012-13 playoffs
Do the Kawhi Leonard shot against the 76ers
Please do more rewinds about soccer like Barca vs Liverpool comeback or Barca vs psg comeback or Ronaldo free kick

Thank you for this upload!
Them donating to the Dalton Foundation after the game is the best thing a mafia as ever done imo.
That's a pretty low bar, to be fair.
That and the donations in honor of Josh Allen's grandmother.
That and embracing Norwood at the '91 loss rally.
@zachary you need to read up on your Bills fans/ mafia history
They love donating money.
As a Bengals fan I want to shoutout Bills mafia for donating tons of money to Andy Dalton’s charity after this game, one of the best fanbases in sports!
Thank you! Litterly no one says that we are a good fan base!
@@benbenbenben777 the Bills fans at home are absolutely crazy! of course you guys are some great fans
Will never ever forget this moment. Always grateful for Andy Dalton officially helping us end a bad chapter and starting a new one.
- as a barren and isolated wasteland known as Buffalo NY, there's warmth that radiates from That Dalton last minute TD.

As painful as this game was, I'm actually glad the Ravens lost this game because it caused management to go into rebuild mode and go get Lamar.
Yup, if Cundiff didn't miss that kick against the Patriots we wouldn't have Tucker most likely
@@johne6106 I've long forgiven Cundiff, but I'm still, to this day, mad at Lee Evans for his drop

Bills fan here and its probably the most accurate analogy about it Ive seen yet LOL
search "MADTV Safety at Work" to see how real adults react to finding out they get pizza
Yeah. That’s what makes it suspicious to me. The overly hyped response for barely skating into the playoffs with a meager wild-card birth. Like they were gonna get far with Tyrod Taylor. These guys can’t be that happy to have to go to work for one more week.
Seems like a programmed response. There were blatant missed tackles by Ravens 26 and 24 at the end. (12:56). Seems like the situation was set up.

Actually, it makes the game that much more entertaining, spotting the times when the fix is on. I don’t complain because it’s just a game. You win some, you lose some.
I’m a Steelers fan, take their playoff game against the Browns last season, for example.
You can spot the fix when Maurkise Pouncey, 9 Pro-Bowls, 5 All-Pros, ....at the very beginning, no pressure at all, snaps the ball over Roethlisberger’s head. Professionals don’t do that unless they are told to do that.

I honestly loved Andy Dalton here in Cincinnati. He was such an amazing guy on and off the feild, we just had to move on
Ran into him in Dallas Texas few years back and he was very standoffish toward me when I respectively greeted him as a bengals fan.
Bengals have had a lot of good QBs from Palmer to Dalton to Burrow. But it’s probably best not to bring up the QBs between Esiason and Kitna.
Although Jeff Blake was decent.
As a Bills fan this legit makes me wanna cry tears of joy. The city was so electric after this.
I remember crying earlier that day when the Browns had lost to go 0-16, but a few hours later, I was smiling ear to ear because the Ravens missed out on the playoffs. How beautiful
Not to pour salt on the wound, but Bengals fans got to say their team caught the fourth down pass on their last offensive drive.
Now the Bengals are in the freaking Superbowl!! Who would of ever thought.
GO BILLS. I remember where I was when watching this, jumping up and down with my friend, yelling, “We are going to the playoffs.”
Dalton is the definition of a cult hero. The guy with orange hair playing for a team that wears orange, had decent success but never quite got there, has a fun, heart-warming story about him and is a nice guy. I'm not a Bengals fan or a Bills fan but I love Andy
Red
Watching this after the Bills AFC Divisional Game and the Bengals AFCCG against the Chiefs is some how even more poetic but even sadder as a Bills fan. Love you Bengals-bros.
Chills. Every Bills fan remembers exactly where they were when they were watching that Bengals game
I am Bills fan in a house of Ravens fans, it was amazing
This was a great week 17. Multiple win and in scenarios, and cool moments to go with them. Marcus Mariota's Stiff arm may deserve a Rewind of its own.
Mariota was very much a QB who was close, but not close enough. To me, if he had Josh Allen’s coaching/development help team, he’d still be with the Titans
We’re definitely going to need a rewinder for that Bengals Steelers 2016 wild card game. I guess you just need to decide if the moment is the game winning kick or Vontaze Burfict ruining AB
The moment should be between Burfict/AB and the FG kick, with the Steelers coach taking the field illegally to taunt Pacman Jones into brushing past a ref, who only called a penalty on Pacman and not the coach illegally on the field AND taunting (worth noting that earlier in that game a Steeler coach was flagged for yanking a Bengals player's hair).
Before that the Burfict penalty only barely put Pitt in FG range. It was the Pacman Penalty that made the FG a sure-thing.
I still think that hit broke AB's brain
That would be a better rewind than this
We do?
Or Hill's fumble keeping an entire City buried in ambiguity?
Watching this in 2022 still gives me chills. As a Bills fan I remember people watching the game crying tears of joy. And now in 2022 Bills are in again and Cincinnati now has ended they’re 30 year streak and I’m very happy for you guys. Thank you again Dalton!
As an Aussie, I dont even follow these sports. But when you utter those iconic words at the end I honestly get goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Welcome, to a moment of historic youtube comments. *presses play on my nose*
Moments that deserve a rewinder
1. Wide right Giants vs Bills
2. Cardinals eliminate the vikings in week 17
3. Aaron Rodgers first playoff game ending in a strip sack returned for a touchdown vs the Cardinals
Id of thought one of these was made by now
#2 definitely needs to be a rewinder as the Vikings were 6-0 that season, then lost 7 out of their last 10 and missed the playoffs due to a tie breaker with Green Bay.
I'm not a Bengals fan, but what blew my mind watching this live was the replay after that. Andy Dalton threw a dime of a throw that went right over the outstretched hand of CJ Moseley. It was incredible.
Well Mosley got redemption against Cleveland the next year though thank god!
As a Bills fans who sat in a bar with my family to watch this game I’ll tell you it was CHAOS when they won!
"Their playoff drought of 17 years is the longest across all four major sports"
The Mariners: *And I took that personally*
The Mariners just can’t get a break can they
@@fries5849 No, and it's honestly kinda depressing
Mariners last made the playoffs in 2001
Bills had their first appearance in the 21st century in 2017
The Bills would go on to have a seizure in their locker room
😂😂😂
As a Bills fan, thanks for the love! I remember this and it was so amazing, I live in Cincinnati now and I have a special love for the bengals
They’re in the Super Bowl. The Cincinnati Bengals are in the Super Bowl.
As A Ravens Fan This Hurts But Overall This Is A Great Story For The Bills
Hurt......man my soul expired lol
-an autobiography
Why Do You Type Like This
@Mike McCormick Somebody has forgotten January Joe. Flacco has always sucked, except in the playoffs...
@@arachnofiend2859 facts
as a ravens fan, i really cried after this happened😞
No tears here, but I'm pretty sure everyone on my block heard me yell "ARE YOU F-----G KIDDING ME?!"
Definitely did some damage, though. I have never trusted the Ravens defense since.
Five years later, Josh Allen and the Bills have made the postseason four straight times, Joe Burrow and the Bengals reached the Super Bowl, the Ravens got Lamar Jackson with an MVP-season (and somehow still haven't given him a big deal)
and the Bills play Bengals for the possibility of the winner being the number one team in the AFC
Good for the Bills, it's good to see their fans happy
Bills fans are just some of the most entertaining, likeable fans in any league. Great to see them in the AFC Championship and everybody in the world wishes them best of luck.
As a Ravens fan I never want to talk about this game
at least you're pretty good nowadays
Same, but on the other hand, if we went to the playoffs, we may have never gotten Lamar because it helped use for into a rebuilding phase
I've been working in a bills bar based in North Carolina for about the last 8 years, up until this year, I haven't seen our regular fans as excited as they were watching this game. I'm actually astonished this channel recognizes it for how much it meant to those fans.
This is the second most heartbreaking game I’ve ever watched as a ravens fan only behind the 2011 afc championship
Sitting in my car, still getting tears in my eyes. This was, hands down, the most exciting, cathartic thing I have ever seen in a sporting event. To be a lifelong Bills fan and see your team struggle for my entire adult life, it was such an amazing release when this play happened. Bills Mafia for life!!!
I cannot understate how amazing this was as a Bills fan.
And on new years eve day! It was like one of those unexpectedly beautiful snowfalls where you wanna go out and make snow angels even though you're a grown ass man. Just beautiful.
Yes I agree I was so happy when that happened. Coming from a bills fan too
i was out at dinner in rochester and i kid you not literally everybody had their eyes glued to the screens, then when it all went down the entire block of restaurants exploded it was electric
your username tells me you aren’t without pain though
I am so happy you guys are giving attention to a small team like the Cincinnati Bengals. We do not get that much press at all unless it is about Burrow. No one likes to talk about us, even when we had solid teams.
so true
Me after requesting this like 4 or 5 times: My wish, has been fulfilled (lol)
What really makes the moment spectacular is the stuff at the end. Bills fans are so sweet for donating that much in thanks
ah yes, the birth of the Bengals-Bills romance
I was at that preseason game the following season. The stadium went wild!
The level of production and hype you build up for these moments is amazing. Getting the whole backstory as to why these plays were so pivotal and great is what makes me wanna sit here all day long absorbing your content. You need to be on NFL network or Sportscenter doing these. It makes these moments so much more gratifying to watch. Good job man, you've made a subscriber out of me.
Who is here after the Bengles just pounced the Steelers on MNF
As someone who lives in Cincinnati and is a bills fan I will forever have a special spot for the bengals
Bills and Bangles fans will never hate eachother, especially after Damar.
This play literally saved the Bills franchise. Without it Bills dont make playoffs and we never get are missing pieces. Eternally grateful
I cried so many happy tears that day! 😭
I was in Miami for the Buffalo game ... and then this happened. It was the greatest scene of sports fandom I've ever been a part of.
People hated Dalton. I loved him, guy was amazingly kind to the community and other players.
Seriously, guy came into a terrible situation and left with pose and composure.
i never heard anybody say they hated dalton
The best parts of the whole thing are: 1) the Bills making the playoffs after such a long dry spell and the true joy it created in that town; and 2) the outpouring of support from Bills fans to Dalton and Boyd - totally amazing show of appreciation.
"New York's ONLY football team."
Thank you.
Na, the Giants and Jets are part of NY whether you like it or not
@@NewYork4Life12 their stadium isn't even in New York, the Jets and Giants are New Jersey teams
@@jdubbs6668 where does Washington play? San Fran? Exactly. East Rutherford is considered a NY suburb. If you call Washington by their name, then call NYG by their names bum
@@NewYork4Life12 North Jersey Jets/Giants fans are salty as hell about the Bills being decent this year.
@@ageyoung24 salty? I have a soft spot for the bills since I lived in Buffalo for a while, I’m happy they have this success. I think JA17 deserves the mvp over Rodgers. What I don’t like is this disrespect of the Giants
Honestly, this is one of my favorite vids of all-time. I love coming back to this for such a feel good finish. And the "DO NOT TAPE OVER" on the thumbnail is just the cherry on top. Thank you for being a thing, Secret Base.
8:02 saying “Flacco threw a pick” is like blaming Patrick Beverly for the Clippers’ playoff loss. It was a great pass that the receiver bobbled.
As a bills fan, the week after this all happened was so fun. All the videos on social media of bills fans going crazy and the donations to Daltons foundation was so fun. Definitely something I'll always remember as a bills fan, and now we're afc east champs! GO BILLS!
If the Bills beat the Chiefs last night, this moment would have come full circle.
Great job including the team reaction, the fan reaction, and the donations instead of just ending the video. Sometimes the celebration is just as incredible to see as the actual moment especially with all of the context.
Can’t wait in a few years when you look back at “Kyler Murray and Deandre Hopkins’ miraculous Hail Murray touchdown deserves a deep rewind”
It is genuinely a perfect story for a video, especially if the cardinals barely get a wildcard.
I dont think thats big enough for a rewinder. It's why there isn't a rewinder on Rodgers' 60 yard hail mary against the Lions. It's a big play yes, but not impactful enough.
@@Anno023 I think it could have enough impact for a video. There’s plenty of playoff implications to look back on, they could tie it back to the Hopkins trade, and the game itself deserved to be rewinded.
@@Anno023 well, back to back game with the bills getting a last chance td just for it to come back around with another, and with the deandre hopkins trade before, and if the cardinals get the wc, i’d say it’s possible.
@@brownsfan3290 I mean there's not a rewinder on the cheifs rams 105 point game so.. Great regular season games don't mean a rewinder
2015 wildcard Steelers Bengals is the most crazy game I've ever seen. Went into the bathroom seeing that the Steelers lost the game and came out to see the Steelers making the game winning field goal it made no sense but I was damn sure not complaining.
You're thinking of 2015. The Bungles didn't make the playoffs in 16
@@nborr258 yeah my bad
Single handedly the biggest play for the Bills this century. The End of the Drought and The Beginning of the Rise.
hi
hi
This was prolly one of the greatest things to witness as a Bills fan. I was so nervous watching the game and it being 4th & 12. Andy Dalton will always have a special place in all of Bills Mafia!
This game has had such a huge ripple effect. If the Bengals don't win here, that means the Bills don't make the playoffs in 2017. Which means McDermott would likely have been fired after 2018 for 2 straight non-playoff seasons, which means Josh Allen would not have developed into what he is now.
The Bills need to send the Bengals a fruitbasket for every year for the next decade.
Now we weren’t. We went 6-10
Most these games were 1 off games to me but y’all create the entire picture and gives me more insight on teams I didn’t follow in that given moment I appreciate that I love this channel
I was working this game. The moment this play happened, the air left the stadium just like a balloon just popped. Dead silent.
As a Bills fan since the 90s I hadn’t had a moment like this in nearly 20 years! I broke down after this it changed everything for this franchise ! Never will I forget this day !
I was there that was the most devastating thing that I have seen as a raven fan.
I was in the airport bar in Vegas headed home for the holidays when I watched this moment. I was the only Bengals fan in the bar but there were Bills fans there and they loved me and bought my drinks. When I walked to my gate someone asked why the bar was freaking out. Bengals won was all I said and he looked so confused.
AKA the reason Andy Dalton will never have to pay for wings in Buffalo ever again.
Watched this live in Baltimore. Heartbreaking. Could not sleep that night. Glad this play is getting its own video, it was very impactful to me as a football fan.
You know, the last thing I needed from you today was you reminding me of an event that's haunted me for the last two years
This and the immaculate extension crushes me lol
This event convinced your team to go out and get LAMAR. I think it worked out pretty well.
This is a moment I’ll cherish forever- me and my mom were watching in the living room.
A part this video missed was that Dalton threw an interception the play before, but it was called back
The Bills should have never benched Flutie in the playoffs
You're damn right, but it was all politics, they'd given up a lot for Rob Johnson, and basically flutie wound up in their lap. Imo coaching and backroom staff wanted to vindicate themselves by playing Johnson at the end of the season because they'd look awful otherwise, spending so much to get a backup qb.
Sad really, awful outcome
@@PilliamWilliam Flutie would have been lights out. He would have found a way to win. Ticks me off so much to this day.
IT WAS A FORWARD PASS
@@scootermcg9910 yeah I agree. I came to football late, about 7 years ago (I'm not from the usa)
When I saw that some guy had scored a dropkick this one time I thought it was cool. When I saw he had played for the bills, the team I'd basically randomly decided to support, I thought the guy was even cooler. When I saw his highlights, and heard his story, I couldn't believe the guy. He's still my favorite player and I wear my doing flutie jersey with pride.
He would've been special in those playoffs man, what a let down
@@steveprz2665 it wasn’t. Give it up
god, even as a ravens fan i'm glad it went down like this. not only the sheer happiness from the bills team and their fans from getting to the playoffs after so long or the amount of money donated to charities simply because of this one football game the bengals won without even having a chance to get to the playoffs, but also because this loss really woke the ravens management up to change some glaring issues in the team. great story and great video!
Here in 2022 after the Bengals just made the super bowl.
I never thought you would do a Rewinder on the Bengals, let alone one of our franchise's best moments
Kyle Williams: Wait, turn the TV back on, there's still time on the clock.
I remember this like it was yesterday, I was watching the game at home and everyone but me gave up. So I stayed tuned in and a miracle happened!! Boyd scores and I am shocked! Looking into this I saw that Buffalo was going to make the playoffs and the Ravens weren’t and that was satisfying enough for me. Thank you for the good memory.
still waiting for you to do the mile high miracle since you did something with the ravens.
exactly. that was legendary
Secret Base I bought your Beef hoodie and just want to let you know it was worth every cent and is high quality. Thanks for great content and not ripping your fans off with crappy merch.
Patrick Kane's Stanley Cup Winning Goal against the Flyers really needs one of these.
This was the happiest moment for me as a Bills fan because it broke are long drought going to the playoffs until yesterday when we won the AFC East for the first time since I was in third grade when I was 9 years old this is insane
THANK YOU SECRET BASE I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Watching this from UC! That’s one of the few things the Bengals accomplished over the past 20 years. God, if we beat the Steelers tomorrow, it’ll be miraculous.
As a lifelong ravens fan who was at this game in person, PAIN
"TYLER BOYD BOYDS GONNA GO TOUCHDOWN!" Those words from my bff has made me terrified
In Buffalo you will never forget where you were at that moment, it was great to because coincidentally it was new years eve so even if you the most casual fan you were most likely at some sort of party to watch it.
