December 20, 1970

[dollars 2 donuts]

When Bills fans woke up that morning little did they know it was the last morning they would wake up to a .500 record against the Miami Dolphins.  By the end of the day they would be 4-5-1, and many of us lived through how the rest of the 70s went. 
 

By 1980 we were 4-23-1 and Phins fans rightfully claimed daddy ownership over of us.

 

No more.  Sure, we’ve owned them for awhile, but we are talking all time now, boys and girls. 

 

We sit at 61-62-1 against them, including playoffs (we own them there, too).

 

It ends. Their claim of the history, regardless of the recency, ends on Sunday. 
 

Go Bills Forever.

I was just reviewing the Bills-Fins head to head record this morning.  Beyond the 4-23-1 record we went through the entire 70's with zero wins, 0-20.  Thanks to Jim Kelly and Josh Allen we are close to tipping that scale, something we could never imagine happening way back when.  Go Bills

I lived through the streak….losing by 1 in the perfect season…Tom Dempsey shanking a chip shot field goal..

I was there when we broke the streak, still have my ticket stub…$9.50.

After that, we would win a few, lose a few…never thought to evening the records.

But HERE WE ARE!!!!
 

(And just one dropped Charles Clay pass from being ahead)

…and I will never forget it as long as I live.

Favorite win over the Fish?  The one where Kelly runs it in last play of the game
