This Day in History:
Buffalo Bills'
'The Comeback' January 3, 1993 The Buffalo Bills claimed a
41-38 overtime victory over
the Houston Oilers in that
year's AFC wild card playoff game. The game will forever
be known to football
fans as “The Comeback.” Led by backup quarterback
Frank Reich, the Bills overcame
an Oilers halftime lead of 28-3. When the Oilers scored
another touchdown after
the halftime for a 35-5 lead,
Bills fans headed home. They missed a historic
rally that began on the
Bills' very next possession. The Bills made it to the
Super Bowl that year, but
lost to the Dallas Cowboys.
