Ferguson was inducted to the Bills' Wall of Fame in 1995 after his 12-year career in Buffalo from 1973-84. Ferguson led Buffalo in passing in each of those seasons and set passing records for the team while doing so as well. He ranks second in career pass attempts with 4,166, completions and yards (2,188 for 27,590) and touchdowns at 181.
"He was a guy that, when I came into minicamp in 1983, I went into camp and I watched him throw the football, and I was amazed how good he can throw and ball and how good he was," Kelly said of his Legend of the Game partner. "And [I was] like, 'Oh boy, this is going to be tough.'"
Both former quarterbacks are ready to get the crowd fired up for a heated battle between Buffalo and Kansas City. The Bills are coming off a post-bye week match that put them back in the win column and ignited a different spark on offense and defense.
"It's fun to come back because of the way the team's playing and doing well and predicted to be in the playoffs; and it's just going to be a great atmosphere and that's what I'll enjoy more than anything," Ferguson said. "… when we were winning back then, the fans were just super, and the thing about Buffalo fans is, even when you're not doing that well, they're still there."
