If you didn't catch Monday Night Football last night, I truly feel sorry for you. The game was the craziest, most intense football game I have ever seen in my life--we're talking about 10 years of watching the NFL.
The last time the Buffalo Bills hosted a Monday Night Football game was in 1994, 13 years ago! This was finally their year, and who comes to town? None other than the undefeated, arguably best playing team in the league, the Dallas Cowboys. The Buffalo Bills have gotten off to a rough start this season winning only one of their four games. They were planning to get killed, maybe even shut out, but they went on their home field with their heads held high....and actually held the game in their hands for all four quarters.
Tony Romo threw FIVE interceptions, two of which were ran back for touchdowns. The Bills even ran a punt back for a touchdown as well. The Bills were up 24-16 in the fourth quarter when Tony Romo took the Cowboys all the way down the field to score a touchdown. With 20 seconds left on the game clock the Cowboys went for a two-point conversion that would tie the game at 24. The Bills' defense was impeccable, and Terrell Owens was unable to make the catch. The Cowboys had one more chance: an onside kick. The onside kick was great, the Cowboys recover it, and have 13 seconds to get into field goal range. T.O. drops another catch, which means the Cowboys have less than 10 seconds left. Tony Romo throws two more short passes to get their kicker, Folk, as close as possible. With two seconds remaining, Folk comes out to make a career long 52 yard field goal-his previous career long was only from 47 yards.
Folk makes the field goal, the Cowboys go crazy, but wait--Bills' coach Dick Jauron called a timeout right before the snap, so the kick was no good. After the timeout, Folk comes out to attempt the field goal again. Impossible right? Wrong! Folk makes the 52-yarder and the Cowboys win the game!
Unbelievable.
