The Music City Miracle

Hard-luck playoff results for Buffalo were not confined to Super Bowls, however. In the 1999 wild card playoff round, the Bills faced the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, Tennessee, aka Music City. This time, after a field goal, the Bills led by a point, 16-15, with only 16 seconds left. That’s when Titan fans will say divine intervention occurred. On the ensuing kickoff, Titan running back (RB) Lorenzo Neal received the kick. Running a designed play called “Home Run Throwback,” Neal lateraled to TE Frank Wycheck, who then threw an overhand lateral all the way back across to the left side of the field. Titan WR Kevin Dyson caught the ball and ran 75 yards down the sideline for the win.

Buffalo has missed the playoffs every season since. The Titans, on the other hand, used the game as a springboard to advance all the way to that season’s Super Bowl.
