Even in Hollywood it was a hit, as Bills kicker Scott's Norwood's missed field-goal attempt in the waning seconds was the inspiration for the suspenseful plot in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." So if it weren't for that game, we may never have seen Don Shula almost get his arm ripped off while mailing a letter...
