This article focueses too much on his Superbowl miss and the specifics of that game. Some of the information is redundant, as there is an article on that Superbowl anyway.

Also, the fact that he racked up well over 600 points in the NFL should be mentioned somewhere. Rtcpenguin

I'm going to create a separate article, Wide Right (Buffalo Bills), to accomodate that stuff. There is also a Sports Illustrated article from a couple of years ago on his life before and after to use as a reference.

got pointed to this article from the one on the movie buffalo sixty-six. just wondering if he, scott norwood, was the inspiration for the villain in the jim carrey movie ace ventura.

It's kind of sad, really. Norwood had a good career, but, like Bill Buckner, he'll only be remembered for one thing.The Invisible Man 05:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is OR of course - I couldn't find a citation with a few minutes of Googling - but I lived in Buffalo at the time. I recall well that when the Bills returned to town after the game they were welcomed by thousands of fans who specifically called Norwood out in a demonstration of public forgiveness. The overwhelming feeling was that they would not have reached the SB without him, and they were not going hold him to blame for a one point loss.
