    THE Hit...

    This is probably something that I should probably wait until the Chargers game, but I'm thinking that The Historian will appreciate this...

    I remember watching this live on TV...

    Mike Stratton making THE HIT on Keith Lincoln....

    Broke his ribs, and propelled the Bills to an AFL Championship!!!!!

    You can see two Bills DLs... Ron McDole (72) and Jim Dunaway (78).

    Historian....was this THE team, or what?

          IMHO--and many may disagree--this was and still is the greatest play in Buffalo Bills history.

          The Chargers were leading that game 7-0 at the time, after easily driving for a TD on their opening possession of the game with their high-powered offense, and looked to be on their way to a possible second score when Stratton hit Keith Lincoln.

          The hit was so perfect and clean that you could hear the sound of the impact at home above the crowd noise. It broke a couple of Lincoln's ribs, putting him out of the game.

          After that hit, the Chargers' offensive players wanted nothing to do with the Bills defense and the Bills came back to win the game. The next year in the AFL Championship game the Bills completely stifled the Chargers' offense.

          Interestingly, while Keith Lincoln never again was the same force that he was in the Chargers offense before that hit, he did end up playing for the Bills a couple of years later.

          Ah, what a play!!!
          Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

            Love those 1964-65 teams. They were the one team in the AFL with a dominant D.

              I have posted that picture before and I was at that game.
              Most of us thought Lincoln was dead.
