It seems that #16 needs some challenge...

16 = total # of season games
16 = Kevin Thompson
16 = last game @ New York Jets
16 = seconds left to win against Tennessee when Bills scored a field goal to give a 16-15 lead, but the Music City Miracle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_City_Miracle), a lateral from Frank Wycheck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Wycheck) to Kevin Dyson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Dyson) that led to a Tennessee touchdown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchdown) on the ensuing kickoff lost the game for Buffalo.

Billy Atkins had 10 interceptions to lead the AFL in 1960, and was a kick ass punter. What a crappy trade.
