Buffalo Bills 41, Houston Oilers 38 (January 3, 1993)
The Bills were having what the French call "un bad day." At the half, the Oilers were up by 25 and added an early third-quarter touchdown to make the score 35–3. Then they either stopped trying or decided to have a little fun with the bookies, as they proceeded to allow Buffalo's backups (hall of famers Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas were on the shelf) to score four touchdowns in a seven-minute span. The game went into overtime, but the end result at that point was more or less preordained. At the time, with Houston cementing its rep as America's most morbidly obese city and all the oilmen leaving town, things looked about as dire as they could be…

Tennessee Titans 22, Buffalo Bills 16 (January 8, 2000)
…But the Oilers-Titans franchise paid back the favor, sort of, via the "Music City Miracle" seven years later. With 16 seconds to go, the Bills had taken the lead on a feel-good field goal. But on the ensuing kickoff—is there any other kind?—lightning struck: In a play that was likely drawn up on the back of a cocktail napkin, Lorenzo Neal fielded the kick and handed it off to Frank Wycheck, who threw the ball 20-odd yards across the field to Kevin Dyson; Dyson promptly juked and jived his way down the sideline for a 75-yard touchdown. Buffalo fans haven't had a lot to cheer about since then, except daylight savings time.

New York Yankees 4, Arizona Diamondbacks 3; Yankees 3, Diamondbacks 2 (October 31 and November 1, 2001)
Here's something we're not likely to see again: Two-out, game-tying home runs off the same dude, ace closer Byung-Hyun Kim, on back-to-back nights. Statistically, this was the equivalent of Halley's Comet and Bigfoot showing up on the same afternoon, or Ann Coulter making out with Jon Stewart. It had never happened before in the World Series, and it almost certainly won't happen again. Our hearts collectively break for poor, sweet Byung-Hyun, last seen testing various gradations of rope at Home Depot.

Boston College Eagles 47, Miami Hurricanes 45 (November 23, 1984)
'Twas the back-and-forth battle to end all back-and-forth battles. Every time Doug Flutie connected with a jab, Bernie Kosar countered with a hook; the two QBs combined for 59 completions in 84 attempts, for 919 yards and five touchdowns. Just when it seemed that the Hurricanes had checkmated the Eagles with a last-minute touchdown, Flutie led BC to the Miami 48…where, drawing on every iota of strength in his teensy little Beanie Baby body, he scrambled back to his own 37 and somehow threw the ball nearly 70 yards against a stiff wind. Gerard Phelan caught it with zero ticks left on the clock, and a legend was born. A short legend.
