‘On the final play — which the Bills nicknamed “Big Ben,” one that had also worked for a touchdown back in a 1979 game I attended against the Jets — Hooks, Jerry Butler and Frank Lewis lined up on the right side of the formation. They all ran to the end zone and Ferguson threw it up for grabs. There were six Patriots defending, and linebacker Mike Hawkins got a hand on the ball, but it caromed right to Hooks who hauled it in.’

Analyst details 1 thing Bills can do to get Keon Coleman to take 'step forward'

We know he’s got a big frame and he can win some of those jump balls, but I’d like to see him get laterally on some schemes and maybe get the ball in his hands a little bit more often in the pass concept.”’

‘1978 — Bills 5, Bengals 0 — Tom Dempsey kicked a 20-yard field goal, Lou Piccone made a tackle for a safety on punt coverage, and Buffalo’s defense had five takeaways in a shutout victory that a hockey town could appreciate. In the only NFL game to end in a 5-0 score, the Bills were unspectacular in producing 226 yards and failing to score a touchdown while taking 10 penalties.

Attendance at Rich Stadium was 47,754.’

Sabato: Two losses won't change the Bills' status as an AFC power in a whacky NFL season
‘But the idea of just getting into the playoffs to have a chance doesn’t offer a significant chance. Since the NFL added another wild card team in 2020, the Buccaneers (in 2020), have been the only wild card to reach or win the Super Bowl. That means winning the division is critical and a top-two seed is even better. Five No. 1 seeds have reached the Super Bowl during the current format, but it’s only produced one winner.’
