Ok, I assume that’s Kemp. Given that I’m 50, I cannot discern anything else from this picture. Any clues? First AFL Championship?

Bills win their first AFL Championship at War Memorial Stadium.  Cookie in the backfield.  Final score one the old scoreboard.

LB, thanks for sharing as I haven’t seen a pic of the rock pile in a long time.  My dad used to tell me stories of War Memorial.  It was crazy back then guys rolling in kegs, etc.  What a different game it was back then, but cool to see Kemp in action as well as Cookie.  Far before my time.

That's the game that put the Bills on the map. Sports Illustrated had the Stratton hit on Lincoln that saved the game. While the Packers were doing their thing against Dallas, we were the upstart AFL champions. It was that team along with the Chiefs, Raiders and Oilers that laid the groundwork for the merger.
