NICK’S MAJOR WIN FOR GRANDPA JACK
JACK NICKLAUS’S grandson helped the Buffalo Bills make the NFL play-offs for the first time since 1999. Nick O’Leary caught a 26-yard touchdown pass as Buffalo, watched by golf legend Nicklaus wearing a Bills shirt, won 22-16 at Miami Dolphins to clinch an AFC wild-card berth and end 17 seasons of frustration. ‘The locker room is electric,’ said guard Richie Incognito. ‘Now the monkey is off our back. We’re in the post-season and we’ve got new life.’
