On January 3, 1993, the Buffalo Bills beat the Houston Oilers 41-38 in the most incredible comeback in NFL history. The Bills were down 32 points and came back to win the wild card playoff game in overtime.
Warren Moon threw for 220 years and four touchdowns in a dominating first half of football. Walt Corey, the Bills Defensive coordinator, went off on his team at half time to motivate them. Unfortunately, Frank Reich threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown on their Bills first possession of the 2d half, which made the score 35-3.
That’s when the Bills comeback began. They scored 21 points in 10 minutes and eventually took the lead 38-35 before an Oilers field goal brought the game to overtime, where the Bills intercepted Warren Moon and won the game 41-38 on a Steve Christie Field Goal.
