Editorial Reviews

The Houston Oilers led the Buffalo Bills 35-3 with 13:15 to go in the third quarter in the 1992 AFC Wild Card game. Witness the heroics of backup quarterback Frank Reich who led the Bills back, bit by bit, to the game's thrilling conclusion. It was the single greatest comeback in NFL® history - perhaps the greatest game ever played. And now, for the first time, the original network broadcast is yours.

This review is from: NFL Game Archives: Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Oilers 1993 AFC Playoffs (DVD)

This is a rebroadcast of the entire game - and best thing of all: no commercials!!! Of course, there is also little in the way of pregame, and no halftime, but other than one or two times where I thought I could perceive an edit made in the broadcast to fit everything into 2 hours or so, this is the actual broadcast, from beginning to end.

I am a lifelong Bills fan who lived in NYC when this game was played, so because of the blackout imposed in Buffalo for this game, this what about the only time for me that living in NYC worked to my advantage as far as seeing the Bills on TV when they were in their glory years. I remember the game well, and taped it and have revisited that tape (fast-forwarding much of the first half, of course), and this DVD appears to me to be a 98 or 99% complete rebroadcast.

Remember that this is presented in original, pre-hi-def NTSC format, so this will play on your big screen like any analog broadcast of today (e.g., NBC, instead of NBCHD). Charlie Jones and Todd Christensen (spelling?) do the play-by-play and the color commentary (and dig Todd's early 90's, permed mullet!).

This DVD is NOT the same as the NFL Films retrospective on the game shown on ESPN over the last few years, which was shot on film and included interviews with game participants many years later (and which does show well on a big screen). Of course, that was a great NFL Films presentation in and of itself, and a great complement to this DVD.

Regardless, to have this historic artifact at this low price makes this a GREAT VALUE for any Bills Fan!!!

I attended this game, and it was the most amazing comeback I ever saw.

This DVD captures it - perfectly. Too bad Buffalo ran into Dallas (52-17) at Super Bowl later that year.

After this game, all Bills fans believed we were a team of destiny...

Anyway, given the pain of watching recent Bills football, this DVD was fun and it was great to relive this game. Great job!
