Was that win in regulation?

It was in OT. 15 points to tie. If you include the time spent in OT, it is more than 5 minutes, so perhaps that's the difference (2:25 in OT).

According to the Rochester D&C, the stat that @Demoted quoted was SINCE 2017.  Since then, teams down by 15+ with 5 or less minutes left were 0-717.  And, according to the D&C, so take it for what it's worth, the Bills are the 1st team to ever win when trailing by 15+ with only 4 minutes to go.

EDIT: But believe the D&C isn't quite correct, believe the Bills are the only 1 (of 4 or 5) to win in regulation after being down by that much with that little time left to go.  

Pretty sure I found the source of that quote: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-shocking-comeback-ends-this-717-game-losing-streak-by-nfl-teams-plus-16-more-wild-stats-from-week-1/

 

Doesn't say anything about regulation, but I suspect that was meant and somehow got missed in the publication.

I do get a kick out of the games people say by saying down by 15 with 4 minutes left. I do it too. They started that drive down 15 with 7:16 left (how’s that for an omen?). So this was really a 7 minute comeback, not 4. 
 

And I don’t mean to take a thing away from them by saying it. We need to add as much drama as we can to make the stories and memories that much better.

Add this:

 

Hamilton came really close to ripping our hearts out.

Saw this as the play unfolded and thought for sure it would be blocked.  Deone Walker should count his blessings.  He completely missed his blocking assignment.  It was unabated.  
 

The Henry/Jackson tandem is unicorn like so not too worried about the D.  The play where Rousseau and  Bosa are about the crush Jackson, there is exactly one QB who could have escaped. And he did. Those two, plus Oliver and Jones will fare much better against pocket passers than other D linesmen.  I still think they could be elite.  The safeties…not so much.

Watching it over, I can't help but think Prater adjusted his kick a touch but maybe that's wishful thinking.
