‘1976 — Dolphins 30, Bills 21 — Opening the season in front of a Rich Stadium crowd of 77,683, John Leypoldt missed all three of his field goal attempts from inside 40 yards in what some regard as the worst Monday Night Football performance by a kicker in history. Coach Lou Saban blamed the loss on Leypoldt in his postgame comments and cut the kicker soon afterward. O.J. Simpson had 71 yards on six touches after practicing once with the Bills following a preseason holdout. Jim Braxton, whom Simpson called “the best blocking fullback I’ve ever known, injured his knee on the fourth play and was lost for the season.’
