Thank you Bills (and Bengals)
‘While many Bills fans have said they cried when the Bengals won and the drought officially ended at 17 seasons, I wasn’t emotional at all. For me it didn’t happen until I started seeing videos of celebrations from Bills fans across the country. The first one I saw was from fans watching the end of the Bengals-Ravens game in a concourse at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Since the Bills game ended first, they had stayed to watch the outcome and learn the Bills fate. They exploded when Boyd ran into the end zone. I couldn’t help but get choked up because that was the moment I realized what Bills fans everywhere were feeling. This wasn’t just an amazing moment for Western New York.’
