Man, that was tough.
The Buffalo Bills had pulled victory out of the jaws of defeat against the Arizona Cardinals, overcoming their standard third-quarter malaise and some turnovers to take a 30-26 lead with 34 seconds remaining. The boys were celebrating, and deservedly so: the Bills were going to be 8-2 for the first time since 1993, and they were on the way to defeating a legitimate NFC playoff contender.
Of course, we all know what happened next, as Buffalo took that victory and tossed it right back into defeat’s grip, failing to follow Tom Jackson’s advice and “just knock it down” at the end of the game.
