Buffalo-Houston playoff matchup conjures 'Comeback' memories

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Warren Moon occasionally gets text messages from friends whenever some TV station broadcasts what he dejectedly calls "That Game."

And each time, Moon shakes his head in dismay, as if the former quarterback would have any interest in revisiting one of the worst moments of his Hall of Fame career.

Moon, of course, is referring to what in Houston is known as "The Choke" and everywhere else "The Comeback." It was an 1993 AFC wild-card game in which the Buffalo Bills rallied from 32 points down to beat Moon's Houston Oilers and set the NFL record for overcoming the largest deficit in the playoffs or regular season.
