Bills' wild win over Chargers evokes NFL's strangest era
Original: How rare was Bills' win over Chargers? Think replacement players and a barefoot kicker https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/
The Buffalo Bills defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in a game marked by an extraordinary number of turnovers, a result so unusual it invites comparisons to the NFL's 1987 replacement-player games. Analysis notes the last comparable sloppy performances came from strike-era teams, with even a barefoot kicker featuring in the historical parallels being drawn to the Bills' turnover-filled victory.
Why now: The unusually high turnover count made the game historically rare, prompting comparisons to the 1987 strike replacement era.
