THIS DAY IN BILLS HISTORY…
December 26, 1964 — WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Buffalo won the 1964 AFL Championship with a 20-7 triumph over San Diego before a standing-room only crowd of 40,242 at War Memorial Stadium.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Head Coach Chan Gailey
Q: Five rookies that were drafted that are playing meaningful minutes for you. Can you as a whole just give us an idea of how their performance has been?
A: I think very positive as a whole. I think that you always hit either a lull or a wall at some point with each guy that’s a rookie. Very seldom does a guy go the whole 16 weeks and not have a lull or hit a wall to a certain extent and not grow for two or three weeks, then he might start back and keep going. I think we’ve had guys that have been productive and they’ve played some good minutes and I think they’ll help us get better as time goes on.
