First year I remember was 1973.  I was 10 years old. We had two big rookies on Offense.  Issac Curtis was a Pro Bowl selection and finished top 5 in the league in yards, tds, and yds/rec.  Boobie Clark finished 8th in rushing yards, 7th in yards from scrimmage, and 6th in rushing tds.

We came within 15 rushing yards of having two 1,000 rushers in a 14 game season.   Essex Johns had 997, and Boobie Clark had 988.

I don't remember a lot of specific games, but I remember beating the Minnesota Vikings late in the year.  They were rolling to a 12-2 season and the Super Bowl while we were struggling to make the playoffs.  We lost to the Dolphins in he playoffs then the Vikings lost to them in the Super Bowl.

I remember an insane Monday night shootout with the Bills when both Ken Anderson and O J Simpson went off.  I thought that was in 2003 because that was the year Simpson got 2003 yards, but it was some other season.  In 1973 we held the Juice under 100 yards
