‘1988 — Bills 37, Raiders 21 — Attendance was 77,348 for the ’88 home finale at Rich Stadium even with a wind chill temperature of minus-2 degrees. Buffalo’s running game produced 255 yards and three touchdowns, with rookie Thurman Thomas leading the charge (106 yards, TD) and Robb Riddick scoring twice. Jim Kelly passed for 128 yards with a touchdown to Butch Rolle. In the only December home game the Bills would win from ’85-89, Bruce Smith had a strip sack, fellow defensive Art Still forced a fumble and Cornelius Bennett had a sack for the AFC’s best defense that season. Bouncing back from consecutive losses after clinching the AFC East title, including a terrible 10-5 letdown in Tampa Bay, the Bills remained on track to clinch home-field advantage for the playoffs if they could win the final regular season game in Indianapolis. Alas, the Bills did not beat the Colts, forcing them to go on the road to Cincinnati in the AFC championship game.’
