I think it was Ahmad Rashad's first game as a Bill and he undressed a Raider CB for a TD.

Shaw66 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Probably plenty of people here weren't around for the Raiders game. It wasn't just that Rashad scored a late TD and the Raiders missed a field goal on the final play. Rashad scored the go-ahead TD with under 2 minutes left. The Bills' defense held and got the ball left. The Bills just need to run out the clock. The Raiders stripped the ball from the Bills' fullback (James Braxton?) and returned it 65 yards to retake the lead. So the Bills drove AGAIN with Rashad getting his SECOND TD in the last two minutes. My wife fell asleep with ten minutes left. I couldn't sleep for two hours. Cowboys games was probably the best game I've ever seen live, and I was at Super Bowl XXV. The crowd was absolutely electric. The stadium was shaking. The Bills defense was unprepared to win the game on the final plays. They literally GAVE the Cowboys two sideline completions to set up the losing field goal. Still, the game was unbelievable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was delayed & finally the dude got back to safety. I also think there was a MNF game against the Vikings where a Buffalo fan hit Chuck Foreman in the face with a snow ball.....

The Bills rolled out that unconventional defense and had Romo on the ropes for most of the game. Was a heartbreaker to lose. Was always curious why the Bills only did that for that one game.

CarpetCrawler Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 12 hours ago, CA OC Bills Fan said: I’ve been to two Monday night games, both wins. The Miami game in ‘81, 31-21, just a year after ending the 0 for the 70’s against the Fish. And ‘89 against the Rams, Frank Reich’s first start, Rams were undefeated going in. Reich sucked until the very end of the game. He had two short touchdown passes in the last 3 minutes, the Rams scoring in between. Bills won 24-20 to go to 4-2. Here’s a listing of all of Buffalo’s Monday night games. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/bills-news-notes/2015/11/16/9746950/buffalo-bills-monday-night-football-history-all-40-and-counting-games I was at that game in '81 too, we killed them in the first half and won it on cruise control in the second.

bbb Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 The Raiders '74 game and the Rams '89 game were basically the same great game - tied for best MNF game. The star was out - OJ/Kelly.............Bills scored to take the lead. Then the other team shockingly scores - Braxton fumble/Flipper 80 yarder..............Can't believe the Bills lost - we had it!....................And, then they come back against all odds, and score again! (The Rams game, Reich was horrible in what I think was his first start - we figured he got lucky on one drive - no way is going to be able to do it again - but he did!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 1988 when the Bills kicked Miami's ass 31-6. One of the sweetest regular season wins for me. Also, that same season when they buried the Jets 37-14 in the Meadowlands. I was there as a 16 year old when beach balls were all over the place and the Jets fans were trying to burn down Giants stadium. Another sweet victory in the 1988 season.

GreggTX Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) I remember that game, OP, but I'd pick that game in Buffalo against the Raiders on MNF after OJ threatened to retire and Ralph went to LA to talk him into staying. He returned days before that MNF week 1 game and lit up the Raiders in a blowout win for the Bills. Oh and there was that game in the early 90's in NJ when Jets fans were so upset that one guy tried to burn down the stadium. Remember that one?
