Way-back Playback: Frank Reich leads Bills to greatest comeback in NFL history

It appeared the Buffalo Bills were resigned to their cruel fate. 

Trailing 28-3 to the Houston Oilers at halftime of their wild-card game on Jan. 3, 1993, Buffalo looked to be headed to another crushing playoff defeat.

They needed a miracle, and it would have to be orchestrated by Frank Reich, the Bills' backup who started for injured quarterback Jim Kelly. 

The second half began much like the first: Reich threw a pick-6 to Bubba McDowell, and the Bills were down 35-3.

But Buffalo responded. The Bills refused to give up. A Kenneth Davis touchdown - he was in the game for an injured Thurman Thomas - cut the deficit to 35-10. 

Buffalo then recovered an onside kick and promptly scored again. The Bills fortunes had seemingly reversed.

Reich found his groove, throwing two third-quarter touchdowns to Andre Reed, and Buffalo trailed 35-31 entering the fourth.

The Bills took advantage of an Oilers' botched field goal, Reich found Reed for his third score of the half, and Buffalo had its first lead of the game. 

Moon acted quickly, orchestrating a 63-yard drive that led to the game-tying field goal.

In overtime, Houston started with the ball but Moon threw a costly interception. 

Two plays later, Steve Christie kicked the game-winning field goal and the Bills, somehow, completed the greatest comeback in NFL history.
