‘1978 — Patriots 14, Bills 10 — Tom Dempsey kicked a short field goal on Buffalo’s opening drive after Randy McClanahan recovered a muffed punt in the red zone, and Joe Ferguson threw a touchdown pass to Bob Chandler late in the fourth quarter after Tom Graham strip sacked Steve Grogan in New England territory, but in between the Patriots rushed for 279 yards and two Horace Ivory touchdowns, while the Bills offense barely advanced across midfield. The AFC East division champion Patriots (8-2 after this win) set an NFL record rushing for 3,165 yards in ’78, while the Bills gave up a record 3,228 yards. Attendance at Rich Stadium for this one was 44,897.’
