1977 Cleveland Browns vs Buffalo Bills - NFL Radio Broadcast / The October 23rd, 1977 game between the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills featured a matchup of teams with contrasting seasons. The Browns, led by quarterback Brian Sipe and head coach Forrest Gregg, entered the game with a 3-2 record, aiming to stay competitive in the AFC Central race. Buffalo, under head coach Jim Ringo, was struggling with a 1-4 record. Quarterback Joe Ferguson and star running back O.J. Simpson were central figures for the Bills, but the team was having difficulty translating individual talent into wins. This game was critical for both teams: Cleveland was looking to build on a positive start, while Buffalo aimed to find some consistency and turn their season around.
The game saw an early spark from Buffalo, as Joe Ferguson connected with Reuben Gant for a 38-yard touchdown in the first quarter. However, Cleveland responded with two field goals from Don Cockroft and a 52-yard touchdown pass from Brian Sipe to Paul Warfield, giving them a 13-10 lead by halftime. The Browns continued to extend their lead in the third quarter with a touchdown pass from Greg Pruitt to Cleo Miller. Although Buffalo had a bright moment with Keith Moody's 91-yard punt return, Cleveland sealed the game in the fourth quarter with Sipe's second touchdown pass, this time to Gary Parris. The Browns' defense held firm, forcing four turnovers and limiting the Bills' offense.
The Browns' 27-16 victory improved their record to 4-2, keeping them in the hunt for the playoffs, while Buffalo dropped to 1-5, deepening their struggles in the AFC East. Brian Sipe's leadership and Cleveland's balanced offense helped secure the win, while Buffalo continued to be hampered by mistakes despite solid efforts from players like O.J. Simpson and Reuben Gant. As the season progressed, the Browns would fight to remain in playoff contention, but the Bills would not recover, finishing the year with a disappointing record.
