A visit to the most Americana moment in Buffalo Bills history

January 27th, 1991 was not the Buffalo Bills’ day — ending a magical season in defeat via a wide right kick capped by Al Michaels’ “no good” call is the last thing Bills Mafia wants to read, hear, or talk about. That’s fair. Luckily, though this article is about the same day, it’s not about what happened on the field.

Before the game was settled or started, Super Bowl XXV (25) — in Tampa Bay — became unforgettable. America, at that point, had just embarked in the Gulf War, in the Middle East. Just ten days before kickoff, Operation Desert Storm began the combat phase, which would be retaliated, at the misfortune of lost lives.
