‘Buffalo, which had won six straight after an 0-4 start, needed a win on Jan. 2, 2005, to reach the playoffs for the first time since 1999. The 14-1 Steelers rested most of their starters, giving young players like Willie Parker and James Harrison rare starts. The Bills lost 29-24. Buffalo had outscored opponents 228-89 during a six-game win streak but managed just 267 total yards and went three-and-out seven times. That loss allowed the New York Jets to sneak into the playoffs.’
