List of Buffalo Bills first - round draft picks The Buffalo Bills are an American football franchise based in Orchard Park , New York . They are members of the American Football Conference ( AFC ) East division in the National Football League ( NFL ) . Every year during April , each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate draft known as " the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting " , which is more commonly known as the NFL Draft . The NFL Draft , as a whole , gives the advantage to the teams that did poorly the previous season . The 30 teams that did not make the Super Bowl are ranked in order so the team with the worst record picks first and the team with the best record pick last . The two exceptions to this inverse order are made for teams that appeared in the previous Super Bowl ; the Super Bowl champion selects 32nd overall , and the Super Bowl loser selects 31st overall . If the franchise so chooses , they may trade their draft picks for any combination of draft picks , players , and money .
Stiff - arm fend The stiff - arm fend ( known as a hand off in rugby league and rugby union and sometimes as a don ' t argue in Australia or simply a stiff arm in American football ) is a tactic employed by the ball - carrier in many forms of contact football . The skill . In rugby league , rugby union , American football and Australian football , ball - carriers run towards defenders who are attempting to tackle them . By positioning the ball securely in one arm , the ball - carrier can fully extend his other arm , locking his elbow , and outstretching his palm . Then , the ball - carrier pushes directly outwards with the palm of his hand onto the chest or shoulder of the would - be tackler . The fend is a pushing action , rather than a striking action . A stiff - arm fend may cause the tackler to fall to the ground , taking him out of the play . Even if the tackler keeps his feet , it becomes impossible for him to complete a tackle , as he cannot come close enough to wrap his arms around the ball - carrier . A well - executed stiff - arm fend can be a very powerful offensive weapon . The term don ' t argue was coined in Australia to describe the stiff - arm fend . The term describes what a commentator imagined the ball - carrier might be saying as he shoved his opponent in the face or chest , and is used as a noun . Ball - carriers in Australian football must be careful to avoid fending opponents in the head or neck , otherwise they will concede a high tackle free kick . High fends will generally be allowed in rugby unless the referee rules that the fend is too forceful , constituting a strike rather than a push . In Rugby , a stiff - arm tackle ( i . e . locked elbow and extended arm prior to making contact with the defender ) is dangerous play . A player makes a stiff arm tackle when using a stiff - arm to strike an opponent ( Laws of the Game , Rugby Union , Law 10 . 4 , dangerous Play and Misconduct , Section ( e ) , dangerous tackling ) . Therefore , a stiff - arm fend , as described above is permitted ( even a high fend ) so long as it does not constitute striking the opponent ( similar to an open handed punch ) . Physics . The stiff - arm fend is particularly effective because its force is applied down the length of a straight arm , directly into the shoulder . This puts the arm bones exclusively under compressive axial stress , the stress to which bone is strongest , and ensures that minimal torque is applied to the shoulder joint . As such , the force that can be applied by a stiff - arm fend can easily repel or topple an oncoming defender . The same techniques are practised by some schools of martial artists when striking or punching ; by ensuring that the direction of the force is directly down a locked , straight arm , martial artists can punch through bricks and tiles without damaging their arms .

Packers Radio Network The Packers Radio Network is a broadcast radio network and the official radio broadcaster of the Green Bay Packers football team . The network ' s flagship is Journal Communications ' WTMJ ( AM ) in Milwaukee , Wisconsin , which has broadcast the games since November 24 , 1929 . This is one of the few arrangements where a team ' s flagship radio station is not based in their home market and the local station serves as a network affiliate only ; the rights for Packers games in the Green Bay area have bounced between Midwest Communications and Cumulus Media throughout the last few years , while stations carrying the games owned by Woodward Communications which nominally serve the Fox Cities exclusively have equally heavy listenership in Green Bay . The Green Bay stations designated below in the table are considered additional " primary " stations in the network . This designation only truly comes to use in the later stages of the NFL Playoffs if the Packers make it to the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl , where those primary stations can carry the Packers Radio Network local call . All other network stations , including those in the Fox Cities , must carry the national Dial Global call instead in line with NFL rules . Its primary programming consists of broadcasts of Packer home and away games to a network of 56 stations in Wisconsin , the U . P . , Iowa , Minnesota , North Dakota , and South Dakota , along with a two - hour pre - game show and three - hour postgame show which allows listeners to call , email , or text in a sports talk format about the finished game . Wayne Larrivee has been the play - by - play announcer since 1999 , while former Packer center and current WTMJ / WGBA Packers analyst Larry McCarren has worked as the color commentator since 1995 . Both Larrivee and McCarren contribute to the team ' s television programs , in addition . Though its broadcasts began in 1929 , WTMJ did not begin paying the Packers for broadcast rights until 1943 ; it paid the team $ 7500 to broadcast the season . In the early 1930s , there was no exclusive right given to broadcast games , and WHBY in Green Bay often sent its own announcers to call the game . From 1933 to 1936 , three additional stations carried WTMJ ' s radio broadcasts of Packer games : WLBL in Stevens Point , WTAQ in Green Bay and WKBH in La Crosse . WSAW in Wausau and WJMS in Ironwood , Michigan started carrying the feed in 1937 .

1983 Orange Bowl The 1983 edition of the Orange Bowl featured the Nebraska Cornhuskers , and the . The game suffered from poor attendance due to riots in the Miami area as well as the game having no impact on the national championship , since No . 2 Penn State defeated No . 1 Georgia earlier in the day in the Sugar Bowl . LSU began the season 7 - 0 - 1 , but lost in November to heavy underdogs Mississippi State and Tulane to come in 8 - 2 - 1 and ranked # 13 by the AP and UPI polls . Nebraska was 11 - 1 and ranked # 3 in both polls , but they had been denied a chance to play for the national championship due to a controversial 27 - 24 loss at Penn State early in the season . Nebraska forced a three and out , and then scored easily on their first possession , capped by a 5 yard touchdown run by fullback Mark Schellen to take a 7 - 0 lead just four minutes into the game , and the heavily favored Huskers looked as if they would put the Tigers away early . But then a series of miscues turned the game on its head . Toby Williams intercepted a Tiger pass at the Husker 7 , to thwart a promising LSU drive . But the Huskers fumbled the ball right back to LSU on the very next play from scrimmage , and Dalton Hilliard scored from the 1 to tie the game at 7 . Nebraska drove to the LSU 15 before fumbling again , then inexplicably fumbled a third time after forcing LSU to punt . Turner Gill then threw an interception . The Tigers took advantage with a second Hilliard 1 - yard touchdown run , and Nebraska found itself trailing 14 - 7 at halftime after committing four turnovers on four consecutive series . Halftime provided no relief for the mistake - prone Husker offense , with a missed field goal on the opening drive of the second half , followed by yet another fumble . LSU converted the latest Husker error into a 28 yard Juan Bentanzos field goal , which gave them a 17 - 7 lead . On the very next series , Nebraska managed to hold onto the football and went on a 12 play , 80 yard scoring drive , capped by an 11 yard swing pass from Turner Gill to Mike Rozier which pulled the Huskers within three at 17 - 14 . Gill then finished off a 7 play , 47 yard drive with a QB sneak early in the fourth to put the Huskers ahead 21 - 17 . Another miscue , this time a dropped pass on a fake field goal , prevented the Huskers from extending their lead . LSU managed to get a 49 yard field goal from Bentanzos late following an interception ( Nebraska ' s sixth turnover of the night ) , but they could not get the ball back again , and the Cornhuskers held on to win 21 - 20 .

In BC , Dave Dickenson unsurprisingly got the start over former Most Outstanding Player Casey Printers , leading some to joke that four of the CFL ' s best quarterbacks would be in this game .

The teams traded scores in the first quarter , but early in the second Tampa Bay lineman Kelvin Kinney scooped up a Sherdrick Bonner fumble - one of four lost Rattler fumbles on the day - and ran 26 yards for a rather controversial touchdown . Though it appeared Kinney had thrown the ball in the air in celebration before crossing the goal line , the touchdown stood , and the Storm took a 20 - 10 lead . Though Arizona answered with a Bo Kelly touchdown run to close within 20 - 16 , the Storm used two second - half touchdown passes from veteran backup quarterback Pat O ' Hara to Lawrence Samuels to keep the Rattlers at bay .
