"The Comeback" (Oilers vs. Bills 1992 AFC Wild Card) 

Imagine if the internet existed back then the Oilers would be so pissed on

My Mom was at this game. We lost her in August of 2018. Maaaan, she would LOVE to know her Bills are 10-6 and back in the dance once again. Love you, Ma!

a little sad that mr. Moon one of the greatest quarterback in the NFL never got to play in Superbowl

Frank Reich engineered the largest comeback in college football history in '84 I believe, only to do this again in the NFL years later! Crazy!

The greatest comeback in NFL history

In Chris Berman's voice "No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills".

This game essentially caused the downward spiral that led to the Oilers to moving to Tennessee.

That crowd is electric

Was at this game. In a box, we all got drunk by half-time, grieving the sure loss. Delirious when we came back and won!

Love those old Oiler uniforms

Charlie Jones was a great football announcer. He made it sound so exciting.

The 2022 Indianapolis Colts told the 1992 Houston Oilers, "hold our beers."

1992 Houston Oilers: Nobody will ever choke harder than us 2019 Houston Texans: Hold my 🍺

Arguably the greatest playoff game Ever between Two teams that never won a Superbowl the music city miracle is also a great one technically between the same two teams lol

4:47 Pennywise makes an appearance.

The Greatest comeback in NFL History. And it wasn’t Jim Kelly that completed this comeback, it was backup quarterback and current head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Frank Reich

It''s crazy how quick they came back. Look at that score at the end of the 3rd quarter!

I’ve never seen a quarterback like moon come from under center starting at his left then moving to his right like that.

I was thinking about this game and the Music City Miracle I can't wait for this weekend

who's here after Colts vs Vikings

Who’s here after the Vikings came back from being down 33-0?

This game stood for almost 30 years as the greatest comeback in NFL history until today when the Minnesota Vikings came back from 33-0 to defeat the Indianapolis Colts. I remembered watching this game and thinking that Frank Reich was the king of the comeback, now that title belongs to Kirk Cousins, believe it or not.

I’d give up all I own to go back to 1992 and watch this game again with my dad. Great memory!

Anyone else here after the Viking's 33 point comeback?

Super bowl 51-Best comeback ever 1992 AFC wild card-Am I a joke to you?

The beginning of the end for the Oilers. Moved from Houston to Memphis in 97, but announced it in 96. Had terrible attendance for both years. They moved to Vanderbilt's stadium in 98. They later changed their stadium to the Adelphia Coliseum, and their name became the Titans in 1999.

any one else here after matt ryan blew a 33-0 lead Lol

I watched this game live and it was unbelievable. There was no way that Buffalo was going to come back being down so much with a backup quaterback. But then the impossible happened, an instant Classic.

Warren Moon had a cannon of an arm that was really good. Houston Oilers had a awesome uniform back then too.

I remember being a little kid and watching this game on an overcast day in Monterey, CA. I spent the night at my friends house and this game was on the next day. We watched it in his room on a tiny black and white, off of the antenna signal only. It was all scrambled in parts but you could still see it…that’s what amazes me about these games. You forget that people are watching all over the country and the world. I love watching these old games uploaded to RU-vid. I love seeing the staton breaks. You see an ad for a TV station in a small town in Maine or North Dakota. I like to look up those station’s cities and seeing the population. The smaller the better. I just imagine a family with small children like I was at the time or a older retiree with his wife in the middle of nowhere on a stormy day, coming in off the back porch, stomping the snowy dirt off his shoes to watch the same game off of an old antenna or a satellite signal like how I’m watching in busy California.

I was there with my Dad (I was 9). The place started to clear out after halftime. The momentum shifted, and people started sneaking back in. They eventually opened the gates and let everyone back in. I’ll never forget that 3rd quarter or how it erupted in there when the Bills took the lead. Perfect strangers were celebrating together. It was magic. Best game I’ve ever been to.

the greatest come back in the history of football and i saw it live!!!

Anyone else here after Minnesota dubbed the Colts?

This game was featured on The American Football Show on Channel 4 in England back in '92. Mick Luckhurst (former kicker, Atlanta Falcons) presented the show and he couldn't believe the result either! what an incredible come-back! Great to see this up on YT to relive those emotions again. Thanks for posting!

... I remember watching this game. Absolutely incredible....

Oh man what a way to end 2019 as a Bills fan! Perfect upload time!

The Buffalo Bills play Wild Card Weekend versus the Houston Texan in Houston Wild Card Weekend 26 years later and I think it's like a couple days after the 26th anniversary of this game how crazy is this as a child I remember did this game on the radio because it was blacked out it Buffalo I was 7 years old at the time

Not ONE minute goes by without going "that would be a penalty today". I know it's about protecting individuals, but it's not the same anymore.

This was the day I became a Bills fan at the age of 13, I will never forget this game.

The fact that the comeback was done by a back up was the most impressive thing.

The Oilers followed this collapse up with the infamous 1993 season (see “A Football Life: the 93 Oilers”) where Buddy Ryan punched Kevin Gilbride on the sideline, and ending in their last-ever playoff game, a loss to KC after a late Joe Montana game winner. They blew the whole team up after 1993, and left Houston in 1997.

The original Titans had bad ass jerseys tho

Vikings hold my beer.

One of the greatest games ever played

Best event I have ever attended. Unlike many, never thought of leaving when the game got to 35-3.

I was 12, hardcore Oilers fan. I have always felt haunted by this game. The team moved and I follwed Moon to the Vikings. Now to see the Vikings beat the Colts 30 years later I can finally watch this game and put those demons to rest.

This is the game the Run and Shoot offense died as a viable offense. I remember watching this game on the tube when I was in the Navy. I had a couple of shipmates who were from Buffalo, NY. We were watching this game together. When Buffalo went down 35-3 in the 3rd quarter, one of the shipmates left the berthing lounge in total disgust while the other one continued to watch in the fetal position. When the Bills started to come back, the guy that stayed slowly perked up until the pulled within 11 points. He then got the other Buffalo shipmate back down to the birthing lounge to finish watching the game. Both were shocked when the comeback was complete and the Bills won in overtime.

Thanks for sticking a knife through my heart again after all these years. This and the Denver playoff loss really spelled the end for the Oilers.

Who’s here after the Vikings just came back from a *33-0* deficit against the Colts?

Atlanta: we blew a 28-3 lead!! Houston.... hold my beer....

Thanks for posting this. Amazingly, the game was NOT sold out and so this game was blacked out on cable, and I never got to see it that day.

With God as my witness, I remember watching this game with 2 of my cousins. When it was 35 to 3 with the Oilers ahead I said to them "It's not enough." They looked at me thinking I was nuts. I remembered Houston blowing a 21 to 6 lead in Denver 2 years before, and I based my prediction on that very collapse. This game definitely impacted the future landscape of the NFL, as the Oilers ended up leaving Texas, and a new Houston franchise joined the league. Funny how one post-season game can have such an impact.

That was super bowl 51 back then for them they would always joke about the oilers famous 35-3 lead

I remember watching this game and these highlights are the sort of nostalgia for me that sum up the NFL of the 90s 👍

I was just about to watch this full game since it's on the NFL channel. Thanks for the condensed version. The other one is 2 1/2 hours.

Oilers: we are going to win Frank Reich: hold my beer

I watched this game live with my folks. In a word: AMAZING.

This was the most exciting game I ever had the pleasure of witnessing as it unfolded. I was a huge Bill's fan from Baltimore and we didn't have a team for 4 more years. I remember watching this with my gramps, I was 10 years old wearing my Bill's helmet and Jim Kelly Jersey as halftime came to a close down 35-3, Buffalo fans began leaving the stadium prematurely and they weren't allowed back in once Reich started chipping away at the lead. I was on the edge of my seat throughout that second half. The most unbelievable comeback in the history of the NFL hands down.

This game reminds me so much of my dad and how we watched football together every sunday. Even though we were both Giant fans, we both loved Warren Moon. I can remember how disappointed we were when the Oilers blew this game. Miss you pops. 🙏

This is what everyone thinks of when they ask, “Why did the Houston Oilers move to Tennessee?” They think of when they blew the 32 point lead to Frank Reick as qb and no Thermin Thomas. The last game which happened to be the week prior, the Oilers blew them out 27-3.

I was a wide eyed 11 year old football enthusiast watching this game and rooting for Buffalo. Still one of the greatest moments I've ever watched!

“Step aside Buffalo” - Minnesota Vikings 12/17/22 “Thank God I’m off the hook now” - Warren Moon 12/17/22

Whos watching this after the bills knocked off Frank Reichs colts

Whos here after the Vikings game

Add another Houston choke to the list today 😂😂😂

I was there in the end zone in front of the winning kick what a game

I was 11 years old at the time, gave up on my Bills at halftime and went to help my dad clean up the attic. Listening to the comeback on the radio was one of the greatest sports experiences I've ever had.

I don't understand anything in American football, but this is very encouraging and powerful comeback. Very good sport! Respect from Russia!)

28-3 is iconic but deficit/time this is simply the best.

If this was in L.A. or N.Y.C., the fans would have all left. Small town cities like Buffalo are the most loyal and forgiving fans of all... never changing bandwagons. GO 2021 BILLS!!

Saw Reich pull off this type of comeback in college when he was a QB at Maryland. They trailed 31-0 at halftime with Stan Gelbaugh at QB. Reich came off the bench in the second half and pulled off an epic come from behind victory.

This is the definition of momentum shifting. Go Bills

My colts sold harder than the oilers…

I remember watching this game with my dad when I was in 9th grade. I miss ya, pops!

I remember this game. I kept on watching it despite the score. Glad I did. Saw history

Crazy how this game was almost 30 years ago. #happynewyear2020

Biggest comeback now belongs to the vikings

First year of college winter break , saw this in Plano. one of the greatest games I've ever seen

Watched as a kid, 8 years old. It was a game for the ages. Crazy too cause Houston was gone as a franchise after the following year...that loss pretty much sealed their fate for the franchise.

Houston went ahead and brought us another one last week. 24-0 is now the standard bearer

No longer the greatest comeback of all time.

When Warren Moon entered into the pro football HOF he said the only thing he could think about was losing this game. He said in his entire career had he ever experienced the swing into momentum that this game had

I remember watching this game.

I knew NFL throwback would run this for the Texans/Bills game. Couldn't help yourselves could you?

The announcers barely mentioned Moon's name when he made some of those great passes, oh well he's already in the Hall.

January 3rd, 1993. I remember this game well!

Growing up I only had 4 TV stations to watch. Luckily one of them was NBC and I was able to watch this game and witness history.

Houston has always had 2 teams. One that plays the first half. One that plays the second.

Still amazing

I spoke to Warren in Edmonton..few yrs...ago..I asked him r u Still in Shock like I am? He nodded I did not push..as I keep seeing Houston with Super bowl Ring that yr... Just a dream...that turned to nightmare! Warren with the fans in Canada is Always a Class Act!😎🏈🏈

Greatest comeback

What a throw, what a catch at 3:16 Warren threaded the needle .

La época dorada de mis Bills en los 90' como olvidarla llena de buenos jugadores que nos marcaron.

This was when football was really great! Real hits!

Ah, the good ole days, when an 8 point lead was still a 2 possession game so the Bills, down 35-24, went for it on 4th & 5 instead of kicking a field goal.

The Bills came back without their hall of fame QB and RB.

this game is the reason that i love the football, my das show me this in 2010

This when football was. Football physical tough with toughness and fun exciting it has tremendously changed the Oilers we're one of my favorite teams and Warren Moon was one of the best very talented it quarterback of all time I remember this game

Oilers: We blew a 35-3 Lead Texans: Shoot WE NEED TO ACCOMPANY THEM AS WELL!!!

These Buffalo Bills were a great team with loads of talent, great coaching, and 4-time AFC Champs. As for the SB, well, we all knew what happened.
