This Day in History:, Buffalo Bills Pull off
'The Comeback'.

The Buffalo Bills claimed a 41-38 overtime
victory over the Houston Oilers in that

The game will forever be known
to football fans as “The Comeback.”.
Led by backup quarterback Frank Reich,
the Bills overcame an Oilers halftime lead of 28-3.

the halftime for a 35-5 lead, Bills fans headed home.
