‘1987 — Bills 6, Giants 3 (OT) — Orchard Park’s own Todd Schlopy kicked the winning field goal from 27 yards out with 19 seconds remaining in overtime to win what Marv Levy described as the worst football game ever played. A crowd of 15,000 came to Rich Stadium for the final Bills game with replacement players in that week that the ’87 players strike was settled. Some NFL veterans had already crossed the picket line, including Giants superstar Lawrence Taylor, yet the talent assembled in this game combined for nine fumbles, five interceptions, 26 penalties, five missed field goals, and zero touchdowns. Schlopy’s chance to be a local hero came after he’d already missed a 28-yarder in OT. Carl Byrum, a fifth-round pick who played in 41 games for the Bills, rushed for 139 yards, more than a quarter of his career total. Buffalo went 1-2 with scab players in a season it finished with a 7-8 record.’
