Watch the Buffalo Bills’ Thurman Thomas number retirement ceremony live

As most Buffalo Bills fans already know, tonight’s game against the New England Patriots is a special one and not because it marks the first home Monday night game in almost a decade. For only the third time in franchise history, the Bills are retiring a jersey number. This one which belonged to arguably the best running back to ever play in Buffalo: Thurman Thomas.

Drafted in 1988 out of Oklahoma State in the 2nd round, he remained with the team until 1999 and was a major part of the franchise’s four Super Bowl appearances.
