Novemer 19, 2006 -- Losman throws for 340 yards in a come back win over Houston.

The Bills have not had a 300 yard passing game since. I know, I know, it's the o-line...

I remember that game... Gary Anderson attempted an extra point or field goal and the ball went straight up in the air and stopped... and then went backwards. Garbage bags were circling overhead like vultures.

This may have been the best player move ever made by the Bills.

Speaking of wind at the Ralph (Rich at the time of this event) - I recall sitting in an corner / endzone seat about five rows up and the punter for the L.A. Rams (remeber that era?) was warming up - he had one ball that literally went straight up like you mentioned and it nearly blew back over his head. He actually said "Fudge" (the censored term). It was pretty funny.
