Thanks for that.

 

I had forgotten how good Jim Kelly was. I never compare him to Josh, that would just be a wrong thing to do.

 

I noticed there wasn't a post-game handshake between Levy and Shula. I guess it wasn't a thing back then.

I was 11 years old, and remember exactly where I was and how I reacted after that TD!

In Jim Kelly’s book Armed and Dangerous, Kelly said that Shula left the field in tears.

Been watching a few old clips of Bills SB years and I agree. We are spoiled with Josh but Kelly was no slouch

I was 15! How did you react after that TD?

Is it me or does Odoms look like a MLB, man the equipment has changed.

Jim Donovan was the man as a play by play guy. RIP

THE signature Jim Kelly play. This was featured in so many promos.

ran around my basement, screaming at the top of my lungs!! 
 

what a defining moment!

YouTube must be pushing the same thing to all of us. It popped up on my suggestions yesterday too. I forgot the drive started with a Marino INT by Odomes. 

The Kelly dive for a TD, is still a top 10 franchise play in my list.

It was a 4pm game wasn’t it?  12 years old and parents made me go collect paper route money for Olean Times Herald. I remember watching that play through screen door of one of patrons on the route. Pretty sure I got a good tip after Kelly went in. 
 

the back pedal drop back is something.  
 

Go Bills.

This is where Jim Kelly and Chris Burkett started to have their rift and was one of the contributing factors in coining the “Bickering Bills” of 1989.

With former Fish Jimmy Cefalo on color...I'm sure he was none too pleased.   Sorry, not sorry.

Bills clock management was awful and Dolphins were equally inept with passing on that 3rd and 8 with Bills having no Timeout. Odoms play amazing and set up by a great pressure from Conan. So great. Go Bills.

Yes, there were several opportunities to spike the ball and conserve some time...but it worked out perfectly.
