Music City Miracle - Aftermath

Aftermath

The victory, in front of a franchise-record crowd at Adelphia Coliseum, allowed the Tennessee franchise to advance to the divisional round of the AFC playoffs for the first time since 1993, when they were still in Houston. Subsequent victories over the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars sent the Titans to Super Bowl XXXIV to face the St. Louis Rams, where they lost by a touchdown in another game that went down to the final seconds, known as "One yard short" or "The Tackle."

For the Bills, it led to the firing of special teams coach Bruce DeHaven, who had been with the team for thirteen seasons. (DeHaven has since been re-hired by the Bills in the same position in 2010.) One year later, Phillips was fired (partly due to his failure to lead the Bills past the first round of the playoffs during his tenure and the very poor performance of DeHaven's replacement, Ronnie Jones) and replaced by Titans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.

The Music City Miracle was added to the list of infamous moments in Buffalo sports history, joining Wide Right and No Goal. It was Buffalo's last postseason game to date and it marked the beginning of what has, as of 2012, become the longest active streak of missing the playoffs in the NFL.

NFL Films hired a computer analyst to determine if Luckett had made the correct call. They determined that the ball had in fact, not traveled forward and that Luckett had made the correct ruling.
