So, Monday night was, to put it lightly, an emotional rollercoaster. The Bills, who led 24-13 at one point in the 3rd quarter and had intercepted Tony Romo FIVE times in the game, ended up losing on the last play of the game (twice) due to a 53-yard field goal.
Now, my previous post seemed to indicate that the game was over with a lead like that, and with someone of Romo's talent playing that poorly. But of course, that is the beauty of sports, and lately, specifically the NFL. A league that has thrived on parity in recent years is struggling with that in 2007, what with the aforementioned Cowboys, Patriots and Colts dominating the league. Now that one of the league's worst teams (so far...) can lead a game for 59 minutes and 58 seconds yet still lose to the NFC's best (so far...) is a testament to the league itself, and the parity that still exists there.
Buffalo's first home Monday Night Football game in 13 years may have ended in disappointment, but in the end, it was the best thing for the game.
And not just because of next week's Patriots/Cowboys game either.
