Buffalo Bills The heartbreaking missed
field goal at the end of Super Bowl XXV was a runaway winner in the fan poll,
earning 55 percent of the votes. Buffalo Bills The "Music City Miracle"
came in second with 26 percent, while Don Beebe running down Leon Lett was
third with 19 percent. It's the right call. Buffalo Bills It's important to
note that we highlighted the top three most memorable plays in Bills
history good or bad Buffalo Bills so a kick where inches were the difference
between winning and losing a title game is a natural choice. Buffalo Bills Also worth mentioning, We
considered only single plays for this project, Buffalo Bills so while the
"comeback game" in the 1992 playoffs is likely the most memorable game in
Bills history, it wasn't defined by a single play or moment. Likewise, Mike
Stratton's "hit heard 'round the world" in the 1964 AFL championship
and Jim Kelly's touchdown run to beat the Miami Dolphins in 1989 are among
the honorable mentions for the Bills, but didn't receive the same support as
the other three plays when we held a Twitter poll last month. Buffalo
Bills "Wide Right" came on the NFL's biggest stage, in the Bills'
first Super Bowl appearance, and at the end of the game. Buffalo
Bills Had Scott Norwood's
47-yard field goal been successful, that 1990 Bills team would be toting
championship rings. Buffalo Bills But Norwood missed, and it isn't. Buffalo
Bills It's that dramatic, all-or-nothing swing that separates Norwood's kick from the "Music City
Miracle" or Beebe's hustle play. Had the 1999 Bills stopped the Tennessee
Titans on that kickoff, they would have advanced only to the divisional
playoffs. It wasn't the Super Bowl. Buffalo
Bills Beebe ran down Lett in a Super Bowl but it wasn't a critical play in the
game. Buffalo Bills The Dallas Cowboys had already locked up the win
in the fourth quarter, and while Beebe prevented a touchdown, the fumble didn't
turn the tide. Buffalo Bills Frank Wycheck and Kevin Dyson might be most
known for their combination effort on the "Music City Miracle," Buffalo
Bills and Beebe and Lett will be forever linked by that iconic play more than
21 years ago. But they can't match Norwood's
miss and the crushing feeling that followed, Buffalo Bills end this is.
