Bills contributions to football history

[ParanoidAndroid]

I just read on NFL.com, about this week's outburst of scoring. The record number of touchdowns for a single week was set at 90 and counting. So far, pending tonight's game, every team in the NFL contributed to that total except the Buffalo Bills -a typical contribution to football history.
Given the current doldrums, I would like to ask folks to post positive contributions to football history by the Buffalo Bills.

I'll take the obvious: The greatest comeback in playoff history. Down 38-3 versus the Oilers in the 3rd quarter, the Bills score 38 unanswered points to win 41-38 in overtime.

Your turn. Good luck.

Actually they were down 35-3. Houston kicked a late field goal to send it to OT.

Re: Bills contributions to football history

-If I am not mistaken we still have the largest margin of victory (48) and most points scored (51) in an AFC championship game.
- Most consecutive games without allowing a Rushing TD
- First Black QB
- Longest field goal in Superbowl history (Steve Christie 54 yarder, SB XXVIII).
- Third greatest comeback in regular season history 1997 v. Colts

Re: Bills contributions to football history

- First RB to rush for 2000 yards in a season, OJ Simpson in 1973 (He still holds the yards rushing per game record 143.07 compared to Dickerson's 135.3 as he reached 2K in 14 games).
- I think Kelly still has a record for most passes attempted in a Superbowl, could be wrong.

Most murders by an ex player: OJ Simpson with 2.

Unofficially, Aaron Hernandez has 3 so this one has a good chance of being broken.
