Remember this?
It was the final game of the 2002 season and the Buffalo Bills were on their way to an easy 27-9 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. But the fans in Ralph Wilson Stadium seemed to care very little about that. Their focus was on a guy playing for the opposition.
Linebacker Takeo Spikes was playing out his contract with the Bengals, and Bills fans made it clear they wanted to see him in a Buffalo uniform.
“As I sit back and think about it, I had a lot of good times in Buffalo and a lot of great moments,” Spikes said recently. “But the No. 1 moment that I had, even before I had thought about being a Bill, was the time I walked in that stadium when I played for Cincinnati. I’ll always hold that close to me. It was a special moment.”
