Best memory of a defensive pick six

[strive_for_five_guy]

Taron Johnson’s was amazing, although I also liked this Nate Odomes one against the Raiders in 1990.  First game I ever went to.

Tommy Janik 100 yarder thrown by against the Jets and Joe Namath  -  September 1968

 

My very first Buffalo Bills regular season game

 

Was one of the 3 pick sixes thrown by Namath and we won 37-35 for our only win of the year

I was at that game.

Taron in the divisional round during the Covid year. 

I must have watched that play 200 times from different angles. 

 

Honorable mention: Drayton Florence against NE in 2011. I've never cried in the stadium except for that play. It was absolutely bonkers in that place.

A shoutout to this often-forgotten gem. It was only my second Bills game ever. This is another game where the pick-six was our only touchdown. We won the game 10-7 in OT and it was a huge late-season step in ending a 5-year playoff drought in 1980.

Awesome play, but I don't think technically that was an interception... more like a purse snatching.

Haha you’re right.  I looked it up, and it was credited as a fumble return.

The 1st one I saw that stuck was Tony Greene 100+ yarder in ‘76? 
 

…..been looking can’t find a video.

Against Miami??? Didnt that one get called back due to a Robert James holding call... like 8 minutes after he scored the TD LOL

Surprised only a couple of people mentioned this one so far. This was the most insane I think I've ever seen fans at the Ralph. Hard to overstate how much the stadium erupted when this happened.

I’m just gonna say Nate Clement’s. I’m sure there was one back in the day that was sweet and important.

[Tombstone]

Taron pick 6 vs Baltimore

Sams Thicc 6 vs Pats

Hyde's pirouette catch and return vs Miami's attempted onside kick. 

Benford Burrow Pick 6. 

 

It's either Taron's or Benford's.   Both were turning points in the game.   Taron's was a playoff game with Bmore about to go for the tie from about the 8 yd line.   Benford's was the spark that the team needed to pull off the win.  

I'll pick Tarons.  Because it was a playoff game. It deflated the Ravens psychologically.  They didnt seem in it after that.

The Taron Johnson pick 6 was the biggest one i’ve personally experienced. Kind of established the Bills as not a fluke, but a real contender winning their 2nd playoff game.

Thanks! Love the end, 2 people in a bad Buffalo mascot costume celebrating unable to get of the way, and strangely attired young women jumping around like…..cheerleaders?

[Billsatlastin2018]

Without question!

 

I was there.

 

And listen to THAT crowd… as Elway comes out of the huddle and then, when Bailey makes the tip catch- TD!

 

Damn… the Ralph was LOUD then!

Taron Johnson pick 6 div rd vs Baltimore 2020- the biggest one I can remember 

Great pick. Just sucks that we won the battle. And they ultimately won the war. They lost one game after this in a near 14 month span.

Listen to the fans!  Bills fans being loud and crazy is not a new phenomenon.  

 

I remember this game.  The Bills offense, dominant all year, struggled mightily against the Broncos and need a defensive TD to help win the game.   

Yup. Terrible game from Kelly. 2 INT and I  think one was in the red zone. 

Bailey saved them.

Taron Johnson pick six of Lamar is probably the biggest highlight. 

I was shouting for him to just get down in the end zone, take a knee and get the ball at the 20. What a return it turned out to be.

In what was a microcosm of the season, after winning opening day 31-0, we went on to lose to the Patriots by the same score on the last game of the season. Ugh.
