“No good. Wide Right”
- Al Michaels, Super Bowl XXV
“Wide. Right. The two most dreaded words in Buffalo”
- Jim Nantz, 2023 AFC Div KC at BUF
Who is here after tyler bass missed wide right. 😢😭
Bass is Finkle, Finkle is Bass
RIP to the legend Whitney Houston who did the best rendition of the National Anthem of all time at this super bowl
*cough* Marvin Gaye *cough*
Hers is the best pre-recorded rendition :)
@Keith Cousins qqqp@pppppppa
Fuckin-A right, she did
She might have had the most beautiful singing voice ever.
This Super Bowl is important and memorable for many reasons
2:58 The happiest ref (or person) I’ve ever seen in my life
Lol

Al Michaels seems to be commentating every good SB
Yeah, the only one I can think of he didn't do was 51. That really would've made an awesome sb even better.
Facts
If the bills win at least 2/4 of those Super Bowls, Jim Kelly Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed would all be in the goat debate for their positions
Jim Kelly, sure. Thurman Thomas, ehh, not so sure, but at least Buffalo has an RB in franchise history regarded in the same breadth as the murder man. Andre Reed, I'll agree with you there.
They are the goats however Thurman Thomas isn't the greatest Buffalo Bills running back of all time there's a guy with the jersey number 32 Andre Reed is the greatest wide receiver of all-time for the Buffalo Bills Bruce Smith is the greatest defensive end of all time he is the all-time sack leader
@@yetz2291 yes but you guys forgot about Bruce Smith everyone forgets about Bruce met he's so much better than Reggie Reggie White everyone forgets Bruce Smith is the all-time sack leader the greatest of all time for defensive ends
@@jerryjanik480 Bruce Smith wasn't mentioned in the original comment, plus he's already in the GOAT debate for his position, despite never winning the SB. Kelly and Reed aren't ever really brought up in GOAT debates for theirs.
This is false
The beginning of a the most painful era of Bills history
That’s one way to look at it. The late ‘80’s - late ‘90’s was also the only era that the Bills were good as an NFL team. They were pretty awful for their first 2 decades or so, then pretty awful again for almost 2 decades after they lost to the Titans in the ‘99 wildcard game. I’d take the pain of losing Super Bowls and playoff games over being irrelevant anytime.
@@josephvanhorn5347 couldn’t have said it better myself
Yeah I’m a pats fan but I really would love to see the bills win a Super bowl. They really do deserve it and they got a great young team right now.
@@josephvanhorn5347 @xxx
A D why do they deserve it?
Super Bowl 25 is the best Super Bowl of all time. That drive over 9 minutes and 14 plays from the Giants is the best.
Feel good fact. Buffalo had a parade for the Bills either way and the crowd chanted "WE WANT SCOTT, WE WANT SCOTT" and he appeared and spoke in front of the crowd while they cheered for him despite his miss losing the game. Buffalo was very forgiving of him.
Dang, what a good fan base.
That’s how we do it in the 716, smiling through the pain
Meanwhile vikings fan still hold grudge to their 99 kicker lol
Yes, now that you mentioned it, it did mention something about it on the ESPN show The Four Falls Of Buffalo, which was a great show to watch!!!
Indeed, and further, after the game ended, instead of pointing fingers and blaming Norwood, all of the players talked about plays THEY messed up on, things that they could’ve done better that would’ve won the game. Everyone took accountability and asked themselves what they could have done better, what they could have done to put the game away earlier without needing a last second field goal.
Ottis Anderson actually wore his practice pants in this game. Ottis’s home is Tampa
One of the most underrated teams in history.
With a backup QB the Giants took down the 3 peat searching Niners and this Buffalo squad.
Amazing.
My condolences to any Bills fan here who got this in their recommended.
Talk about PTSD flashbacks lol
Al Micheals is the 🐐 his call in the moment is used to recognize this game 30 years later
Before you rip Scott Norwood, the Bills did not get into his field goal range, it was a prayer. He wasn’t good on grass (Bills had AstroTurf) and had never made a kick on grass from that distance
Also before you rip Belichick as a product of Parcells and Brady, Belichick’s defensive gameplan from this game is in the Hall of game as the greatest gameplan of all time
ABC shows a graphic that Norwood was 1 for 5 over 40 yards on grass and Al Michaels says it would be his longest on grass
Never knew that about Norwood but you gotta make that kick though
Helps when your Offense has a SB record of TOP. Although, holding the K-Gun without a 3rd down conversion until the 4th is a hell of a feat.
Facts
@@alexlower9796 you go out and make that kick if its so easy
Scott Norwood and Tyler Bass went Wide Right for the Bills
My favorite Giants team of all time! Nothing but heart, guts, and toughness!
True blue collar team!
Agree 100%
07 team?

Lawrence Defense is definitely more iconic/badass.
Bills fans having Vietnam flashbacks after tonight’s gane
This is the football I grew up on. Physical. Not dirty, but won in the trenches. If you made a catch over the middle like an Andre Reed, you had to pay for hit. Say what you want about Bill Belichick, but the schemes he came up with in back to back weeks (there was no extra week that year between conference title games and Super Bowl) to slow down the 49ers West Coast offense and the Bills K-Gun, just incredible.
Bro that tipped ball that james lofton caught would be an all time classic moment if they didn't lose
When you take a step back and look at it closely, the Bills went up against coaching geniuses in every Super Bowl they went to. Marv Levy was an excellent coach, you have to be to get a team to 4 Super Bowls in a row. However, whoever he was up against always seemed to be better. This one, Bill Parcells was the HC of the Giants, and the DC whose job it was to stop the K Gun? Some guy named Belichick. Next year they were against Washington, Joe Gibbs was the coach. Guy who won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QBs, maybe the most underrated coach in history. The next two after those was Dallas with Jimmy Johnson and a staff full of coordinators and position coaches who would later become head coaches themselves.
Super underrated point. People focus way too much on the Bills being “losers” and not enough on the schematics and play calling.
Facts hell all those guys hall of fame

Thanks.

And of course they like it. NFL enjoying Buffalo-based pain confirmed.
In all seriousness, thanks
Definitely one of THE BEST Super Bowls ever played!👍
10 is better
@@erics2739 no shit!
This was clearly the best Bills team of the ones that made it to the Super Bowl. The defense wasn't so lackluster as it would get in later years, and they were actually in the game until the final moment. Have to hand it to the Giants though to beat the 49ers at Candlestick (I'm still sad) and take out the Bills in two down to the wire games against great squads. Thanks for uploading this one in pristine quality.
Lawrence Taylor was a mythological creature
I wish we’d revert back to our helmets saying GIANTS on it
Same thing happened last night against Kansas City. Tyler Bass kicked it wide right which cost Buffalo the game.
Ingram's catch and run always gets overlooked in terms of one of the greatest SB plays of all time, but it is.
That helmet Norwood has on screams 90s
70s
"That was the heart of the defensive scheme New York threw at Buffalo. Parcells was in charge of the overall concept, but the implementation was left to Bill Belichick, the brilliant, 38-year-old defensive coordinator who has head coach written all over him." The Sports Illustrated issue on this game was really good. Do a search for "Sports illustrated vault high and mighty Giants Bills"
To all the Buffalo Bill's fans I'm a Florida State fan. I know how much "Wide Right!" hurts. 😥 😞 😢 😔 💔.
Nas
@Blue Collar Silver Dollar Yeah, but losing hurts more than winning feels good. I'm a Lakers fan and I still think of 2008 against Boston, Robert Horry's miss against San Antonio in 2003, and the meltdown against the Pistons in 2004. You think about the losses more than you enjoy the wins.
Atleast you are loyal
Remastered by Tyler Bass, 2024.
Tyler Bass does the same
Scott Norwood is probably still having nightmares thinking about this game 😂

This was when we were all Americans and it meant something to be an American and the greatest rendition of God Bless America
WIDE RIGHT!!!!!
Wide right again
2:59 - the smile on that official's face.
One of the greatest coaching petformances in SB history. Hostetler was a good backup, but Parcells and Belichick knew they couldn't afford to get into a shootout.
So they allowed Thomas to whatever he wanted and completely focused on stopping Kelly.
One of the most improbable Super Bowl runs ever. The Giants defeated the 2 best teams in the NFL that year with a back-up QB and back-up RB. I still remember everyone expecting them to be one and done against the Bears.
I love those bills red helmets instead of the white ones they have now.
One of the greatest super bowls ever played, and by the two hardest playing teams of the time! I'me always big blue, but after this game, I will always hail Buffalo for giving me my first look at a real hard nose team!
The more I have reviewed this game, the more I am convinced that the better team won.
It's not all about high tech offense and flashy weapons.
As good as the Bill's were on offense, the Giants were better on defense. The Bill's didn't convert a 3rd down until last drive of the game!
@Matthew Henninger-Vonada His defensive game plan is in the hall of fame. He does get credit.
I disagree. The Bills were clearly the better team. The Giants, to their credit, exploited the arrogance and stubbornness of the Bills K-Gun approach. Jim Kelly just wouldn't commit to giving the ball to Thurman Thomas even when the Giants were playing two and three man fronts for large portions of the game. Had the Bills leaned on Thomas like the Giants did with Ottis Anderson, they would've controlled more time of possession and likely would've won the game. Also, if Jeff Hostetler fumbles on the safety, the Bills would've won anyway. It was pure luck that he didn't.
I will give the Giants their due props though. When Belichick and Parcells came up with a radically different gameplan, star players like Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson accepted their roles to ensure that the team won the game. They didn't insist on winning by making flashy plays. That was something the Bills were incapable of doing. They were too stubborn to change their approach and win ugly when it was necessary.
@@jc22558 BS. The Giants and the 49ers were the two best teams in the NFL during the 1990 season. The Giants were the walking wounded from the late regular season and even more so by the time of both the 1990 NFC Championship game and Super Bowl 25. They were minus both their starting QB and their starting running back. The 1990 Giants were simply an incredibly tough, hard nosed football team with no quit in them. Had they been healthy, they in all likelihood would have crushed the Bills.
@@jc22558 The NFC was a better Conference than the AFC back then. The Bills were good, but NFC reigned supreme
the most tragic teams without a super bowl win. vikings, bills, falcons, titans and cardinals.
And now Bengals

Who's back after the latest wide-right?
Yes
Bill parcells last game as Giants, head coach. 🏉
Marv was a good, but not great head coach. A terrific motivator and an absolute gem of a human being that got outcoached. I was only 5 when this game happened and can remember my dad and uncles yelling about running the ball. Thurman gets 25 touches this game is a rout. Belichick knew exactly what to do and how to stop us. I give that '90 Giants team a ton of respect to beat the Niners at Candlestick and then us with a backup QB. Truly deserving no matter the heartbreak.
it was a tough game
1990 and 1991 were much stronger BIlls teams than the ones that faced the Cowboys in '92 and '93. 1990 was their best defensive team and '91 was their best offensive team.
Thurman Thomas had it going all day but the Bills wanted to stick to who they were. Sometimes you gotta say screw the gameplan.
1,000% percent agree. I hate when teams get in their own way and argue that they need to stick with their “identity.” I have honestly never heard anything so stupid in my life. Who gives a damn about your team’s identity? If something is working, how are you not sticking with it??
It still happens to this day. I think the Bengals would’ve won the most recent super bowl, if they had stuck to their run game. They had the lead for most of the game and they were becoming too predictable, too one dimensional, forcing everything through Burrow, forcing him to make every throw when they could’ve controlled the clock, pace of the game, kept the Rams on their toes, and not put Burrow in jeopardy by having him drop back constantly against the best pass rushers in the league (Donald, Miller, Floyd, etc.)
That qb hit at the 6 minute mark would be a fine and suspension now
@Blue Collar Silver Dollar ok u gotta point but even the hit before that looked like a flag if it was today lol
Scott Norwood deserves no blame for this. He said so himself that he wasn't good with kicking on a grass surface, and it's not like any FGs from 45+ yards out are chip shots, either.
Everyone in the comment section praising the Giants and ripping Norwood. Are we not gonna mention how the Bills scored 19 points in just 19 minutes? That's literally a TD for every 6 minutes and 20 seconds they had the ball. Things would've been a lot more different if they had possession for a longer period of time.
It was a brilliant strategy by the Giants. They knew how explosive the Bills offense was so they played keep away and killed as much clock as possible to reduce the number of potential scoring chances the Bills had. Thurman Thomas managed 135 yards on only 15 carries for an average of 9 per carry (that was because the Giants focused on stopping the passing game and kind of let him run wild, but still). He most likely wins Super Bowl MVP if the kick went in.
Perhaps if they converted on more than one third down in the game they could’ve extended a few drives and maybe put more points on the board.
This is DEFINITELY the most devastating loss in Superbowl history maybe even over the Seahawks team that lost to the Patriots🤦🏾♂️😂
Definitely more devastating than the Seahawks loss. Seattle won the year before that, and Buffalo still has yet to win a Super Bowl.
Both involved belichick 💀
@@xavierjones9477 right😂😂😂
Seattle is definitely the most bone-headed loss.

SB 25 is one of two Super Bowls to have zero turnovers. The other was SB 34
As a Giants fan since Scott Brunner was QB this was the greatest field goal attempt ever.
Feel bad though for Norwood.
23:14
The missed field goal that broke the hearts of millions of Bills fans.
The road to 0-4 for the Buffalo Bills.
Parcells final game as Giants head coach and he never won another title again after he left them!
Lawrence Taylor is one of the best players in NFL history, yet he seems to have been completely taken out of this game. Watch the way the Bills line manhandle him one on one and double team him, preventing him from getting involved at all.
Jim Kelly gets his ball out of his hands so quick, forcing Taylor to drop back into coverage.
@@terrylouis9183 LT was also not the same player by this time, although he was still very good.
I find it more entertaining to watch highlights of Jumbo Elliott throwing Bruce Smith around like a rag doll throughout most of the game.
He past he his prime he wasn't the LT like we saw in the 80s
That wasn’t apart of there game plan to stop the bills offense. They wanted to stop the receivers not the quarterback
Two things I never will forget besides all the great plays the 9 min drive to start the third was Matt Bahr kicking FG's to win it and tackling people on kick-offs and Whitney never forget that anthem I was 11 years old and got emotional.
One of the most memorable games
Don’t remind me 😢
You'll get urs soon. We had a fraud coach and QB and were constantly choking in playoff games in the early 2000s (Eagles fan). We got a good 1 and QB and won a ring. You have a great coach and QB. You'll get your superbowl too.
@@thomassankara1391 Andy wasn’t a fraud, McNabb was.
@@bigblue9996 both were. Andy and his conservative playcalling vs Tampa got us 10 point before the pick 6. All these coaches are frauds in Philly and they suddenly evolve elsewhere.

Matt Bahr was quite the star for The G Men !
That play by Ingram was one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history. He made FOUR guys miss!
Love you folks at Throwback. You make my life better
That drive to begin the second half was huge, gets 7 and took almost 10 mins off the clock.
IMO this was the best Super Bowl ever played
As much as everyone liked to blame Scott Norwood for this loss, the blame should go to the Bills defense and their inability to stop a 35-year old running back.
Or a career backup quarterback. Or convert any third downs until the last drive of the game.
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 hahaha omg roasted. For real. Buffalo didn’t deserve to win the game. Compared to how they played all year, this was likely their worst game. I think it’s a better lesson showing that, if you play like shit, and you don’t come with your A game, this is what happens. Stop relying on miracles to bail you out . . .
(I am a Bills fan for the record)
This Super Bowl is obviously remembered for the missed field goal, BUT, 10:33 might be the biggest play of the game.
The greatest game ever played, period.
The best Super Bowl.
Love the uniforms almost mirror images
So true! Aside from the helmet they had nearly identical home and away uniforms. Miss this look for both teams
The only time of the 4 in a row Bills wore their white uniforms
I see you guys posting all the Super Bowls played in Tampa Bay this week. Smooth.
I don't know how many times I watched this lol but beside the two drives that ended the half and started the second half for the Giants the kickoff to start the game the Giants stopping the Bills and the tip play not giving up the TD was huge for the Gmen. This has to be the best coached game well at least one of the best ever. Most talk about Bill B but the offense I believe Handley was the OC should be talked about as much to get first down after first down to keep Buffalo offense off the field.
Great quality film.
This was the first Super Bowl I ever watched. I was 6 years old. My dad made me go to bed at halftime because I had school the next morning so I missed the climactic ending. I still say the Monday after the Super Bowl should be a day off. I have never let my dad live that down either. Every year at the Super Bowl I remind him.😂
Dude, you were 6 lol. Is it really that big of a deal to have missed the ending? Did you even understand anything about the game at the time?
Plus, it’s not like there weren’t hundreds of other epic NFL games in the last 30 years. The thing about sports is that every era births new “greatest of all time” moments and games.
I feel bad for Scott Norwood. Sure, he blew the chance of a lifetime and let his teammates and fans down, but right before the kick they even said it would've been his longest kick ever on grass (Bills used to play on the stupidly dangerous astro-turf). They were asking a lot from him on the kick and he took it like a champ afterwards
He wouldn’t have been in that position on the first place if the Bills could make stops on 3rd down. It’s pretty hard to win a game when you go 1 for 8 on third down conversions, and the other team goes 9 for 16.
The Mark Ingram 3rd and 13 play pretty much sums it up
He didn't " blow it" .It was out of his range.....
Really the biggest play was Jeff Hostetler somehow holding on to the ball while being sacked in the end zone by Bruce Smith...yes Buffalo got a safety to go up 12 - 3...but if he loses that ball its probably 17 - 3 which they may have had trouble catching up then
*Tampa* Stadium is in *Tampa* Florida, no way 0:10
Bills were a great team in 1990 but by the time the Super Bowl was played they were very arrogant. They won the AFC title 51 to 3 over Oakland and they just thought they'd run through the Giants the same way. They had scored 44 points the week before Oakland game vs. Miami. so 95 points in two games made them think they walked on water. They never, ever should have been so arrogant against the Giants. They had played them in December in the regular season. Scored a whopping 17 points then too. They should have known what they were up against, the best D in the NFL that year. Even after the game they were arrogant. Jim Kelly was interviewed after the game and his take was "Well a few dropped passes and a few bad reads by me. As I say, we can only stop ourselves." Yeah, Jim, the Giant D never stopped you in this game, you only stopped yourselves. Classless.
Wow - what a great game! Jeff Hostetler is a hero! Super Bowl XLII exceeded this game, but it is still amazing.
1. I am happy that games are being uploaded officially.
2. It has taken far too long for this to happen, and we need more. :)
23:15
One of the most famous or infamous calls in sports history
Wel, put together highlights package. Thanks NFL Throwback.
and of course another wide right happened tonight
First Super Bowl I ever watched... I believe it was 12-12 in NFC vs AFC at the time, I could be wrong, but I remember as a kid I drew a comic before the game and had Giants winning on last second FG, I was 11 I think hard to remember man I’m getting old...RB was going to MVP no matter who won this game from the looks of it
I'm a Giant fan since the 70's but you could make the argument Buffalo deserved to win
Time of possession notwithstanding, the Bills started their last drive on their own 10 and drove 60 yards.
As a Giants fan that final drive still scares the hell out of me 30 years later 😄
I was so sure the Bills were gonna score.
I love you for posting this.....
Man as a bills fan I had goose bumps , when the bills ran out of that tunnel.
To this day this game still haunts me as a Bills fan. I've come to live with the result. That wasn't a chip shot and Norwood wasn't as effective on grass. Still, history could've changed a lot if the Bills had won that game. That game also robbed Thurman Thomas of a SB MVP as he was slated to win it but when the Giants had won the game all the reporters quickly changed their votes to Anderson.
It was 47 yearder. It doesn't seem like the loss was Norwood's fault after all. The today's kickers can't even kick 40 yarders for 50/50.
That SB had an elite logo.
Yeah, it's Really Sad the NFL got cheap with SB Logo after SB 44.
My Opinion, each SB should have its own Logo.
An all new york superbowl very patriotic
Yes, Buffalo lost in the Super Bowl 4 years in a row. That sucks. But think about how hard it is for a team to overcome the hangover that comes from losing the Super Bowl. How many times has the loser of this game gone on to miss the playoffs entirely the next season? The Bills were able to fight through that heartbreak 3 years in a row. With the pain growing exponentially each time. Of course winning 4 consecutive Super Bowls, which no one has ever done, would be more impressive, but what the Bills actually DID do is still one of the most amazing accomplishments by ANY team in the history of ANY sport.
If you consider all things(draft,free agents) etc you are absolutely right.
Honestly, we could all learn something about the resilience of it, and that message wouldn’t ring as loudly had they won even 1 of the Super Bowls. Marv Levy has written about this constantly. Sometimes your dreams are just not going to happen, sometimes you will never get that thing you truly want. But there is still value in fighting and having faith and getting back up.
As a giants fan, at that game in Tampa, I still get chills watching this.
