As Jim Nantz said on the CBS broadcast, they are the two words no Buffalo Bills fan ever wants to hear
History has a tendency to repeat itself – unfortunately for the Bills.
With the Kansas City Chiefs leading 27-24 and less than two minutes remaining in the game, Buffalo kicker Tyler Bass lined up a 44-yard field goal attempt that would have tied the game. The kick, sailing through the blustery winds of western New York, never had a chance and missed to the right.
The Bills famously lost four consecutive Super Bowls in the 1990s, and the first defeat was the most painful. Facing the New York Giants and trailing 20-19, the Bills drove into field goal range for a game-winning, 47-yard kick.
Kicker Scott Norwood took his approach from the right hashmark (similar to Bass). The kick went up with eight seconds to play and appeared as if it would go through the uprights. Instead, the ball snuck outside the right upright. Al Michaels, the play-by-play announcer for that game, called it as: “No good … wide right.”
In the sports world and Buffalo, the miss became known as “Wide Right.” The Bills have still never won the Super Bowl Now.
