On Further Review, Bills Beat Vikings
- Share via
Henry Bailey scored on a 97-yard kickoff return and an eight-yard catch to lead the Buffalo Bills to a 35-12 exhibition victory over the Vikings in Minneapolis.
Jim Kelly, Todd Collins and Alex Van Pelt threw touchdown passes for the Bills in a game that featured the debut of the NFL’s experimental instant replay system.
With 6:06 left in the first quarter, Minnesota’s Cris Carter made a diving try to catch a seven-yard touchdown pass from Warren Moon. Carter appeared to score, but officials ruled he didn’t have control of the ball before he hit the ground.
The Vikings challenged the call--one of three each team is allowed per half--and the officials wheeled one of two sideline video monitors onto the field. After about three minutes--and one chorus of boos--the play was ruled incomplete. Lin Elliott the kicked a 24-yard field goal.
