Ep. 4 - Music City Miracle: Was It a Lateral?

January 8, 2000. AFC Wild Card. Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans. Sixteen seconds left. Bills up 16-15 after a go-ahead kick. The game is won. Then Lorenzo Neal hands the ball to Frank Wycheck, who throws a cross-field lateral to Kevin Dyson, who runs 75 yards untouched into the end zone. Tennessee wins. Buffalo's season ends on one play that fans still swear was a forward pass.This is the full story. A Bills team clawing back to the playoffs after years of decline, a special teams play drawn up weeks earlier called "Home Run Throwback," the frame-by-frame breakdown of whether that ball went forward, and the replay review that crushed an entire city in real time. We take you from the hope of those final sixteen seconds to the silence that followed, and why this play marked the true end of the Bills' golden era. Hosted on Acast.
