I've seen it all
If I hadn't been a hairy mofo, last night's appearance by the Bills on Monday Night Football would have caused me to go bald from pulling out my hair.
It's too painful for me to even type a recap. This pretty much sums up the whole thing. I need a hug.
The Bills forced six Dallas turnovers, returned two of them for touchdowns, and got a kickoff return for a touchdown. It wasn’t enough.
Dallas scored a touchdown with 20 seconds remaining, recovered an onside kick with 18 seconds left and got a 53-yard field goal as time expired to hand the Bills a 25-24 defeat.
A crowd of 71,575 at Ralph Wilson Stadium watched a thrilling night of football and almost willed the Bills to victory, standing on its feet for almost the entire game.
The Bills got the first score of the game on a 25-yard interception return by George Wilson just 5:40 into the game. The Bills got another interception return for a touchdown from Chris Kelsay in the second quarter to make it 17-7.
Terrence McGee returned a kickoff 103 yards for a score to put the Bills ahead, 24-13. Remarkably, it wasn’t enough.
Dallas quarterback Tony Romo suffered through one of the roughest games of his career. He threw five interceptions and lost a fumble.
However, Romo threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Patrick Crayton with 20 seconds left to pull Dallas within 24-22. When Romo’s two-point conversion pass for Terrell Owens fell incomplete — thanks to a breakup by Bills cornerback Jabari Greer — it looked like the Bills had scored one of the more memorable upsets in their history.
Dallas perfectly executed an onside kick, as rookie Nick Folk bounced the ball over the Bills’ first line of return men. Dallas recovered on the Bills’ 47 with 18 seconds left. Two Romo completions produced 12 yards and set up Folk for the winning kick.
