OK, the year was 1990. Game was at Rich Stadium. Denver has a 21-9 lead over the Bills in the 4th quarter and are lining up for the 27 yard kill shot to go ahead 24-9 (no 2 point conversions in those day) and sink the Bills to 2-2 on the season.

 

Nate Odomes has other ideas. Like a flash off the snap, Nate zooms around the left outside lineman of the Broncos, dives, and swats away David Treadwell’s kick.

 

The ball bounces high and comes down into the waiting arms of Cornelius Bennett, who sprints 70 something yards for a TD to bring the Bills to within 21-16. The Bills send up scoring an amazing 20 points in 77 seconds and go on to beat the Broncos 29-28.

 

This victory spurred the Bills to a 13-3 record, home field advantage and a berth in their first of four Super Bowls.

 

That single play.....Nate Odomes beating his man to the corner. That play started the dynasty in my eyes.

 

The man Odomes beat?

 

You got it. #55 from the Denver Broncos, Rick Dennison.

That's neat trivia! Thanks!

From Wikipedia: 

 

On November 19, 2017, Dennison oversaw the worst half of offensive football played by a quarterback in the modern game, after the benching of Tyrod Taylor in favor of the rookie Nathan Peterman. Dennison's credibility as an NFL coach was further called into question when he supported the move made by head coach, Sean McDermott.

Everyone knows anyone can post on wiki, so surely one of the staunch pro tt promoters wrote this.

And he has never forgiven the Bills.  During his entire career from that point forward he was planning a way to avenge that loss.  Now is his chance. Muah ah ah.
