Every so often, a game appears on the schedule that makes you think back to Super Bowl XXV, and how the Giants shocked the Bills and the world when Scott Norwood’s 48-yard field goal sailed wide right.
It just so happens it is the Bills who are visiting MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and it just so happens Pat Shurmur needs the Super Bowl XXV philosophy every bit as much as Bill Parcells did that magical night in Tampa.
Parcells needed it to keep Jim Kelly’s explosive K-Gun offense off the field.
Shurmur needs it to keep his reeling young defense off the field.
