description

This 74-yard Thurman Thomas catch was the cherry on top of a big day for the Buffalo running back, pushing the game out of reach and sealing a victory for the Bills. Running a wheel route down the far sideline, Thomas pulled in the pass and turned on the jets to take it in for the touchdown and make it a three-score game. He carried the ball 21 times for 105 yards and a touchdown on the ground to go along with four catches for 99 yards and this score through the air. The Bills would go on to win, 31-10, over the Patriots on Oct. 1, 1989.
