In anticipation of the Bills Monday Night matchup with the New England Patriots this week, it’s time to look back at the Bills successes when playing the NFL’s marquee weekly matchup. The Bills are 17-23 overall when playing in Monday Night football games, with their most recent appearance coming in 2009, a 25-24 loss to the Patriots, but some of the franchise’s more exciting wins have come in primetime.
With offense at a premium, it was the Bills defense that led the way in the franchise’s most recent Monday Night football victory. Linebacker John Holecek, noted for his stout defense against the run, showed his ability to rush the passer, hitting Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino from behind and forcing a key fumble in the second quarter.
