Buffalo is the best at something

But there was one thing the Bills absolutely can salute from this season as one of the all-time NFL achievements not involving LeSean McCoy: They were the greatest coin flip team of all time.

Well, tied for greatest. But let’s not dismiss their achievement any; they deserve this mantle and should celebrate it with the same vigor that, say, the Indianapolis Colts love their banners.

According to Pro Football Reference, long favorites of the old SDC, the Bills won 14 of their 16 regular-season coin flips this season, which ties them for the greatest win percentage in that category all time. The team they’re tied with? The 2005 Detroit Lions. (Granted, their data on this only goes back to 1999, but please … stay with us for a bit.)

Greatest Coin Flip team? I think that ranks somewhere between Greatest Sunflower Seed Spitting team and Greatest Teeth Brushing team.

Buffalo absolutely sucks, at literally everything.

So, I guess I can't blame you for being proud of this accomplishment (lol).

Pittsburgh wins at calling the correct flip, and having the ref award it to the other team.


1998 NFL Thanksgiving Day Game: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Detroit Lions: This controversial call changed the game of football forever … or at least the coin toss. The Steelers and Lions were tied and the game was sent into overtime. The coin was flipped midfield and, according to Steelers RB Jerome Bettis, he called tails. The coin landed tails side up and the referee declared the Lions the winner of the toss. Confusion erupted. Bettis screamed at officials that the referee had gotten the toss result wrong. Referee Phil Luckett, the official who declared the toss, later told reporters that Bettis had called ''heads-tails'' and Luckett, according to NFL rules, went with the first thing he heard out of Bettis’ mouth. The Lions went on to win in overtime and Steelers fans have never forgotten. No one will ever know if Bettis said heads or tails first, but the rules regarding the coin toss have been since changed to avoid any further controversy.

Hey Buffalo does not get talked about much on here so need to get the good out whenever possible when the opportunity presents itself.
