TBT: Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve
By Cam Boon
1995: Oilers fast start dooms Bills
The Bills had won three straight meetings since they famously came back in the AFC Wild Card Game. But Houston was having none of it during the 1995 holiday season. The scoring in this one started in the second quarter when Anthony Cook recorded back-to-back sacks, the latter of which on Todd Collins recorded a safety for Houston.
After that, they were off and running, scoring 28 of the first 31 points in the game. Two Alex Van Pelt touchdowns in the fourth quarter made the score semi-respectable, but there was no comeback in this game as the Oilers won the game 28-17.
