Synopsis
One of the greatest teams in professional football history, and perhaps the best ever from the AFL, the 1964 Buffalo Bills were led by Hall of Fame owner Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., vagabond head coach Lou Saban, and a handful of AFL All-Stars, including Jack Kemp, Cookie Gilchrist, Ernie Warlick, Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion, Billy Shaw, Mike Stratton and Tom Sestak. With an opportunistic offense and stout defense, both of which ranked first in the AFL in 1964, the Bills mirrored the hard-working, blue-collar community of Buffalo and were adored by their diehard fans. This book tells the story of the team, its players, and the historic 12-2 season that culminated in the defeat of the defending AFL champion Chargers at War Memorial Stadium.
