Thomas Frederick Day (August 20, 1935 – August 21, 2000) was an American football player. A defensive end, he played college football at North Carolina A&T State University, and professionally in the American Football League (AFL) for the Buffalo Bills and the San Diego Chargers. He was part of the Bills' defense, which did not allow a rushing touchdown for 17 consecutive games over a portion of the 1964 and 1965 seasons, winning the American Football League Championship in both years.

Day said of winning the AFL championship, "Winning the championship is like making love to the most beautiful woman in the world."[1]
