Worst Of The Worst Playoffs
AFC Wildcard
#6 1981
Baltimore Colts (2-14)
at #3
1971 Buffalo Bills (1-13)
The ’71 Bills didn’t disappoint in this one, they put
on quite a show for a sellout crowd at War Memorial
Stadium losing 22-0. Baltimore opened the scoring on a
42-yard field goal by Mike Wood. That pretty much
clinched the game as the Bills played an awful game
all around and allowed Baltimore to pretty much have
their way both offensively and defensively. Baltimore
racked up 211 yards on the ground and added 113 thru
the air while piling up a 36:59-23:01 time of
possession advantage. Buffalo was not as adept in
their offense gaining only 82 yards on the ground and
85 thru the air. O.J. Simpson was held to 54 yards on
the ground while his counterpart, Curtis Dickey racked
up 110.
The 1971 Buffalo Bills showed tremendous ineptitude in
this one and now have to be considered one of the
favorites to take the Worst of the Worst crown. They
move on to face the 1973 Houston Oilers (1-13) in the
AFC Divisional Playoffs.
