Gus Johnson is a National Treasure

[@Theel25]

One of the most wild forgotten games of all time. Moss one handed catches, big plays on both sides, a doink kick to send it to OT, high scoring matchup, and a big game winning TD pass. The 2002 Buffalo Bills had simultaneously one of the best offenses but also one of the worst defenses and special teams in the NFL, so a lot of their early season matchups came down to whoever could outscore the other.

@@Slylok226, the closest the Buffalo Bills came to making the playoffs during the Drew Bledsoe era was 2004. All they needed was a Week 17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were resting their starters that game. Pittsburgh’s second stringers wound up defeating Buffalo’s first stringers and the New York Jets got into the playoffs instead of the Bills. Bledsoe reunited with Bill Parcells that off-season in Dallas, where he spent the latter two seasons of his career, getting benched in favor of Tony Romo in the second.
