1993 AFC Wildcard Game



Down 35-3 in the 3rd quarter, backup quarterback Frank Reich led the Bills to a 41-38 overtime victory and arguably the greatest comeback in NFL history on January 3, 1993. Ironically, due to a lack of ticket sales at Rich Stadium, the game was blacked-out in Western New York and Ontario leaving many Bills fans initially clueless to their team's monumental achievement. Notably, Reich was also responsible for the greatest college football comeback in 1986 (a record which lasted until 2006) when he led the Maryland Terpins (again as a backup quarterback)to a 42-40 victory against the previously undefeated Miami Hurricanes, having trailed 31-0 at half-time.
