      He didn't do it every play he dropped out to either direction. When I was little I thought Moon did that so you wouldn't know pass from run. Kinda like a pseudo Play Action where you drop back from either direction. Some of the average QBs never varied their hand offs from even Play Action. I'm saying this with zero playing or coaching experience so just take it from a grain of salt. Also, I can't imagine professionals who see game tape and know all the tells on the field. I've seen Warren Sapp say he knew some of the plays of Green Bay by the way Favre walked to the line of scrimmage, also heard Jamal Adams see the demeanor of the O-Line, or even crazier the McAffee/Polumalu C-Gap story.

    I remember being a little kid and watching this game on an overcast day in Monterey, CA. I spent the night at my friends house and this game was on the next day. We watched it in his room on a tiny black and white, off of the antenna signal only. It was all scrambled in parts but you could still see it…that’s what amazes me about these games. You forget that people are watching all over the country and the world. I love watching these old games uploaded to CZcams. I love seeing the staton breaks. You see an ad for a TV station in a small town in Maine or North Dakota. I like to look up those station’s cities and seeing the population. The smaller the better. I just imagine a family with small children like I was at the time or a older retiree with his wife in the middle of nowhere on a stormy day, coming in off the back porch, stomping the snowy dirt off his shoes to watch the same game off of an old antenna or a satellite signal like how I’m watching in busy California.

    This is the game the Run and Shoot offense died as a viable offense.
    I remember watching this game on the tube when I was in the Navy. I had a couple of shipmates who were from Buffalo, NY. We were watching this game together. When Buffalo went down 35-3 in the 3rd quarter, one of the shipmates left the berthing lounge in total disgust while the other one continued to watch in the fetal position. When the Bills started to come back, the guy that stayed slowly perked up until the pulled within 11 points. He then got the other Buffalo shipmate back down to the birthing lounge to finish watching the game. Both were shocked when the comeback was complete and the Bills won in overtime.

I remembered Houston blowing a 21 to 6 lead in Denver 2 years before, and I based my prediction on that very collapse. This game definitely impacted the future landscape of the NFL, as the Oilers ended up leaving Texas, and a new Houston franchise joined the league.
