Former Bills head coach Wade Phillips kicked out officiating crew over Music City Miracle

The last time the Buffalo Bills reached the postseason they were on the wrong end of one of the most unforgettable moments in playoff history, falling to the Tennessee Titans in the famed Music City Miracle play as time expired.

Then-Bills head coach Wade Phillips recounted a memorable incident that followed Buffalo’s heartbreaking 22-16 loss in his new book “Son of a Bum”. In the offseason following that playoff loss in 2000, an officiating crew met with the Bills coaching staff to review the rule changes for the upcoming season.

And one of the plays in the video presentation was the Titans’ unforgettable kickoff return that was controversial because of Frank Wycheck pass, which the Bills argued was an illegal forward toss.
