For John Davis, Plan B meant bound for Buffalo. The versatile offensive lineman used the NFL free agency system in 1989 to leave the Oilers for the Bills. And actually, it really didn’t take too much convincing. His timing could not have been much better. Starting at right guard between Kent Hull at center and Howard Ballard at tackle, the trio, along with Jim Ritcher and Will Wolford, allowed the fewest sacks (27) by a Bills team in nine years, not counting the ‘82 strike season. Their efforts helped Buffalo compile a 13-3 record, win the AFC championship and meet the Giants in Super Bowl XXV. The following season, Davis blew out his knee vs New England, and his rehabilitation cost him nearly a calendar year. In 1992 he returned to the starter's role- where he remained a fixture until his retirement after the 1994 season.
