Detroit Bills Backers ready for ‘Mafia’s’ extended stay
‘”It was a mix of. ‘Oh, shoot. Where are we going? What are we doing? What our plans? Where we get tickets? How can we support the team?’ It kind of hit us fast and furious,” said Kim Showalter, co-President of the Detroit Bills Backers chapter. “Myself and Fans of Buffalo, we were already planning, obviously, some things for Thanksgiving, so it became ‘What can we kind of steal from Thanksgiving Day plans that we can repurpose for Sunday?’ So we made that happen. A bunch of people were flooding our Facebook with questions and messages and comments. We kept it up, we were able to turn around a tailgate plan within about 2-3 hours after the announcement.’

Bills Bounce Browns in Motor City 31-23
‘In the Bills 31-23 win over the Browns in Ford Field, Allen showed a lot of doubters that he is still a winner who can adapt when it matters. This wasn’t a big game for Allen statistically, as he hit 18-27 for 197 yards and a touchdown, adding only 7 yards rushing on 3 carries. But it worked, because Allen didn’t try to do it all himself, and had NO turnovers. He was careful, but still made some Allen-like throws downfield on target, with Gabe Davis and tight end Dawson Knox contributing key catches. Stefon Diggs didn’t get a look until the 2qtr, but bounced back after a hug and quiet pep talk from Coach Sean McDermott.’

‘The game was played at Ford Field due to the record-breaking lake-effect snow in the Buffalo area and in fitting fashion, it was Devin Singletary aka ‘Motor’ who helped the Bills break through in the second half in Motor City. Singletary rushed for a season high 86 yards and scored a 5-yard TD on the ground — Buffalo’s first TD in the second half since Week 6 vs. Kansas City.’
