A buddy of mine at work were talking about the Bills the other day and I asked him to give me the best single play in team history. He could not think of any. That got me to thinking, and the following are five plays that I feel could qualify.
These plays are in no particular order.

1964 Mike Stratton's tackle of future teammate keith lincon(sic)

1989 Jim kelly's game winning TD run @ Miami

1991 Jim Kelly's TD to ,James Loftton VS Raiders after dropping snap from center.

1992 Any TD from Bills 38-35 win @ San Francisco
(Yeah I know that this is more than a single play.)

1993 Nate Odomes interception of Warren Moon in OT, of the comeback game.

Ok people let's see what you think.

Roland Hooks making an insane one handed grab around the Patriot's 35 yard line with seconds remaining, followed by Hooks' hauling in a hail mary pass a play later as the Bills win - 1981 I beleive

Dolphin game last year. Moulds catches the ball in one arm and scores. SWEET!!!!!!

Flutie's naked bootleg against Jacksonville(?). Last minute score. I think he was the only one that knew it was a bootleg. Thurman acted like he was supposed to get the ball.

Kelly's last second rumble vs Dolphins. This may have been were Berman got the rumblin' bumblin' stumblin' from.

Thurman's game winning reception vs the Jets. I believe it was on 4th down, very late in the game.

Too many to recall.

Bledsoe's block against the Jets was rather impressive. I'm sure there have been better plays all-time, but that was the best one that I saw live.

OJ's run around left tackle for 2000.

Joe Ferguson's int in SD

Tom Dempsey missing the chip shot FG to finally beat the fins

Ronnie Harmon dropping the ball

Wide right...

Thurm was supposed to get the ball. Flutie turned around and Thurman ran to the wrong side, so Doug improvised.

Amen That play showed the rest of the league that Drew was ready to do what it takes to win.

what about the play in cleveland when don beebe landed on his head.

pne of the most exciting plays against the bills was when randall cunningham dropped back into his own endzone to avoid the bruce and heaved the ball 50+ yards which was caught by fred barnett who ran it in for a td.

while exciting, we won!

I'll go with the Stratton hit, Reed's catch from Reich on fourth down after the timeout in the comeback, and Norwood's miss.

Oh.. And I almost forgot...
An option pass thrown for a touchdown by H. Preston Ridelhuber (sp) to win a preseason game in the very early 70's. That was a keeper.

Little league football, I was the LS and ran down the field SMACKED the PR and recovered the fumble at the 15. Shoulda been called for illegal man down field but was wearing a number in the 80's so I think the ref might of thought I was a receiver. They were just as blind back then.

Let's see, I forgot:

Pat Toomay getting a roughing the passer penalty to let the fins win the second game in 72. The Bills had em in both games that year, but the fins managed to win.

Don Nottingham running 50+ yards on a draw play

Butch Byrd being torched by Paul Warfield.
