[@akeme25]

Reich did it too

[@KTF0]

He didn't do it every play he dropped out to either direction. When I was little I thought Moon did that so you wouldn't know pass from run. Kinda like a pseudo Play Action where you drop back from either direction. Some of the average QBs never varied their hand offs from even Play Action. I'm saying this with zero playing or coaching experience so just take it from a grain of salt. Also, I can't imagine professionals who see game tape and know all the tells on the field. I've seen Warren Sapp say he knew some of the plays of Green Bay by the way Favre walked to the line of scrimmage, also heard Jamal Adams see the demeanor of the O-Line, or even crazier the McAffee/Polumalu C-Gap story.

I was just about to watch this full game since it's on the NFL channel. Thanks for the condensed version. The other one is 2 1/2 hours.

any one else here after matt ryan blew a 33-0 lead Lol

[@dougbell2071]

I spoke to Warren in Edmonton..few yrs...ago..I asked him r u Still in Shock like I am? He nodded I did not push..as I keep seeing Houston with Super bowl Ring that yr... Just a dream...that turned to nightmare! Warren with the fans in Canada is Always a Class Act!😎🏈🏈

28-3 is iconic but deficit/time this is simply the best.

[@tjmns]

First year of college winter break , saw this in Plano. one of the greatest games I've ever seen

[@charlesconner9044]

Add another Houston choke to the list today 😂😂😂

[@Brancononordeste]

Andre Reed went OFF in this game. The connection between him and Reich was uncover-able. Marv Levy with gutsiest call ever on 4th and 5 too. Amazing tribute to the power of not giving up.

[@oddbigking9069]

I just realized that this is kinda a rematch this wild card weekend depending on how u look at the history of the 2 teams.

[@sarak8996]

I honestly thought that's why they posted this. I know the Oilers are technically the Titans now, but it's the city of Houston.

[@vDeadbolt]

This, and the music city miracle gives this rivalry some good history. Edit: Im talking about the titans. It's the same case when the Steelers-Browns rivalry turned into the Ravens-Steelers rivalry after the browns relocated in 96.

[@humbledcowboy]

This game was blacked out in Buffalo. My friends and I had to listen to it on the radio. I'll never forget holding our hands in a circle hoping to God that the winning field goal was good. Crazy how sports can bring is together and be so memorable.

I knew NFL throwback would run this for the Texans/Bills game. Couldn't help yourselves could you?

Just an observation, but you can definitely tell the change in players from then to now. Like you feel those hits from play to play where I’m like “fuck. That.” 😂😂

Man warren moon looks big as hell, but Bruce Smith and Co looked like Titans, I miss this NFL...

[@kaitlink3698]

Anyone else here after Minnesota dubbed the Colts?

[@wacojohnnydean1777]

This one still hurts! From '91-'93, the Oilers were good enough to make and even win the SuperBowl...What could go wrong did go wrong! Heart breaking playoff loses..'91 vs Denver, blew a 21-3 lead and lost 26-24. '92 vs Buffalo, blew a 35-3 lead and lost 41-38. '93 vs Kansas City, (in the Astrodome) blew a 10-0 lead. lost 28-20. 😢

[@warrenward6294]

Houston went ahead and brought us another one last week. 24-0 is now the standard bearer

[@FamilyMSV]

Funny thing is it could’ve been 42-0 and they still would’ve lost 😂😂😂

[@dwmzmm]

I watched that game live on TV, even as a Houstonian, we knew then (and now) that most Houston pro teams "choke" at critical times. This loss came as no surprise to me. The beginning of the end of the Oilers before they packed up and moved to Nashville to become the Titans.

[@markula_4040]

Ah, the good ole days, when an 8 point lead was still a 2 possession game so the Bills, down 35-24, went for it on 4th & 5 instead of kicking a field goal.

[@akeme25]

I was confused about what you mean then I remembered there was no 2-point conversion back then lol

[@t8_5h3]

@@akeme25 Huh, that's interesting. I didn't even know that until now.

[@thomasmckenzie4584]

I remember the Bills were going to kick here, but Levy called a timeout and decided to go for it. I was screaming at them to go for it for this exact reason.

[@ahoneanatwo]

Watching games like this is why Charlie Jones was a terrific play-by-play man, his enthusiasm and joy was authentic and infectious. Today’s announcers can learn a thing or two from him. I’m talking to YOU Joe Buck.

Who’s here after the Vikings just came back from a *33-0* deficit against the Colts?

me

[@oscar286]

Bills one is better because Vikings one was against a dog shit team in the regular season and the bills came back against a playoff team (which the colts are not) in the postseason.

[@kennylopezjeetkunedo5555]

I remember watching this game live and started watching it at halftime right around the time the Oilers had a 32 point lead on the Bills. I still remember my father telling me that the Bills could comeback and win as long they can get some stops and start scoring since they do a no huddle offense. I laughed because I said there's no way they're gonna comeback from a lead like that, even if they score, it would only be a matter of time before the Oilers scored again and than they only had 2 quarters to do it. So basically I thought it was impossible. But little did I know, my father was right. Lol This was the greatest comeback I ever witnessed and i'll never forget it. To be able to witness history that day and these were some good times.

[@deenugent473]

This game still hurts after all these years 😭

[@JohnnyRamirez86]

What a comeback for my bills. Still got a lot of respect for Warren Moon and the oilers though. What a great team. I wish they would bring back the Oilers. They were an awesome team
