[@mshat18]

I’ve never seen a quarterback like moon come from under center starting at his left then moving to his right like that.

[@GarrusN7]

That was something a lot of the old school passers would do. These days no one does that from under center but it's basically what a QB does when they are in shotgun. Makes it easier to read the whole field that way.

[@ephraimfink9010]

So weird like he’s a lefty and then turns his body

[@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.

They blew the whole team up after 1993, and left Houston in 1997.

This when football was. Football physical tough with toughness and fun exciting it has tremendously changed the Oilers we're one of my favorite teams and Warren Moon was one of the best very talented it quarterback of all time I remember this game

[@jpete3027666]

I was 13 at the time watching this game live. I remember when the Bills scored to make it 35-10 I thought okay they might make this a respectable final score. When the Bills scored again quickly to make it 35-17 I knew the Oilers were in trouble. The run and shoot offense was was a lot of fun to watch but it wasn’t an offense that could succeed in the playoffs.

[@aaronf3622]

These Buffalo Bills were a great team with loads of talent, great coaching, and 4-time AFC Champs. As for the SB, well, we all knew what happened.

[@englenn806]

They were unlucky

They should've won at least one

It was 3am in the Far East. Not being televised. Listening on radio.. FEN. What a come back!

Greatest comeback

[@John_Locke_108]

Growing up I only had 4 TV stations to watch. Luckily one of them was NBC and I was able to watch this game and witness history.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

This game largely killed the pure run and shoot offense in the NFL as we knew it because it had no way to effectively milk the clock and rest the defense towards the end!

[@tjmns]

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

[@jdore8]

What a throw, what a catch at 3:16 Warren threaded the needle .

[@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.

[@alexanderbemis9065]

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.” 😂😂

[@Christopher-nl2kb]

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

[@brianchua4240]

Oilers: We blew a 35-3 Lead Texans: Shoot WE NEED TO ACCOMPANY THEM AS WELL!!!

[@re8746]

I was in Corpus Christi when I watched this game. Still can’t believe it.

[@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.

[@marcusluceroholden2768]

Imagine if Jim Kelly won all 4 of those super bowls consecutively. He probably would have been regarded as the greatest QB of all time

[@loucaruso3971]

Almost 30 year"s Later,....What A SHAME !!!!

[@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.

[@Jordan-w4q]

Watched this whole game at my grandmother's house in summitfield back when I was a kid front of the TV eye length I prayed for buffalo to come back and win. They did

[@miguelsan1978]

I need to move on, my heart still in pain my Bills never won a super bowl back in the 90's

[@keith6032]

My Houston teams have never even been to a Super Bowl. i feel your pain 😪

[@FamilyMSV]

They’ll win one within the next few years. Just watch.

[@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.

[@danielc3321]

Ah yes. The old run ‘n’ shoot, or as they call it now... regular offense. Gotta love those “Colombia blue” uniforms too.

[@obinnanwakwue5735]

The Oilers would seek revenge with the Music City Miracle.

[@Mrthor3535]

That comeback was incredible. I remember I stopped watching in the 2nd quarter. I packed up my daughter and we drove home after visiting with my mom. After driving 30 miles I turned the game back on and was like WTF? It was 35 -28 or something like that. I watched the rest and witnessed NFL history.

[@thefrase7884]

Is your daughter hot? I mean now?

[@hortons1967]

I had Houston and 2.5 points for an 8 pick parlay. Yeah i'm still pissed!

😂😂😂😂

[@Sharkinthevideo]

Hey man it all good 👍👍👍👍

[@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.

[@eggbertbenedicht4944]

THIS IS STILL THE BEST FOOTBALL 🏈 GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN 👀 ! PRE SEASON : REGULAR SEASON OR SUPER BOWL 🏆.

[@coachcrazy22]

I was watching this game live from Texas, celebrating early thinking "we're going to have a Texas Bowl this season". If Houston had won this game they probably would have went to the Super Bowl instead of the Bills, making it officially the TEXAS BOWL Oilers vs Cowboys, I was so disappointed in this game.

[@shaunguffey9199]

I remember laughing when it was 35-3 that Buffalo wasn't going to the Superbowl THIS year.
