Bills vs Jets: 10 topics for More on Monday
‘I have covered somewhere around 450 Bills games in person, from preseason to the Super Bowl. There was nothing like what we saw and heard yesterday. I compared the atmosphere on the field to the sounds of a JV football game. On television they pump in crowd noise to try to make it feel normal. But in Bills Stadium it was nothing like that.

But even Tre White told me he was talking to his teammates on the sidelines during the game and they were saying how strange it was to not have fans.’
