Which Bills game appeared on list of most memorable in NFL since 2000?
But if we're setting the benchmark all the way back to the year 2000? We have a mixed bag and that was brought up recently by CBS Sports.
CBS Sports ranked the top-25 moments in NFL history over the last 25 seasons dating back to 2000. Unfortunately, the "Music City Miracle" just makes it into that time frame as it occurred in 2000.
For what it's worth, current Bills safety Damar Hamlin's return to football earned an honorable mention mention... but we'll save you the stress of explaining that Wild Card matchup against the Tennessee Titans back in 2000.
The breakdown the Bills and Titans, which slotted in at No. 8 overall on the ranking, can be found below:
The Bills are no strangers to big-game heartbreak, as we mentioned earlier. Their 1999 season was spoiled in January 2000, when the Tennessee Titans used a long lateral pass from Frank Wycheck to Kevin Dyson on the game's final kickoff to pull off a stunning 75-yard walk-off return touchdown. The only thing that mars the miracle in hindsight is the fact the Titans had another stunner coming.

Cooper Kupp congratulates Cal Raleigh on his Home Run Derby victory
For the first time in the history of baseball, a catcher has won the Home Run Derby... and he is a Seattle Mariner! On Monday night, Cal Raleigh's historic season just became a little more iconic with the Big Dumper earning a Home Run Derby championship, becoming the first Mariner since Ken Griffey Jr. did so three times during the 1990's. Raleigh barely - and quite literally - inched out Brent Rooker in round one, having hit tiebreaking ball 0.08 inches further than the Athletics' star. Raleigh then created insurmountable leads in the semifinal and championship round against Oneil Cruz of the Pirates and Junior Caminero of the Rays to win it all. Of course, Raleigh's neighbors to the north, the Seattle Seahawks, certainly noticed his historic performance. However, the Seahawks franchise was not the only ones to celebrate the Big Dumper's achievement. Fellow Seattle sports figure Cooper Kupp took to Twitter as well to praise the American League MVP contender. Cal Raleigh, and the Mariners, will be back in action this coming Friday night for a crucial divisional series against the loathsome Houston Astros. Seattle (51-45) is five games back of Houston for first place in the AL West, and are holding a 1.5 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot. The Mariners have an opportunity to make up some serious ground on the Astros, and will need every home run Raleigh can deliver this weekend.
