Bruce Smith’s safety is Buffalo Bills’ best Super Bowl moment

Defensive end Bruce Smith is one of the greatest players in NFL history. In Super Bowl XXV following the 1990 season, on the biggest stage of his career, he put the Buffalo Bills in a position to win their first Super Bowl by sacking New York Giants quarterback Jeff Hostetler for a safety.

A second quarter drive stalled at midfield when the ball uncharacteristically wne through the hands of Andre Reed over the middle. Bills punter Rick Tuten punted, and with special teams ace Steve Tasker behind him ready to down the ball inside the five, Dave Meggett called fair catch at the 7.
