If you were thinking the Buffalo Bills would be fired up after their shutout victory vs. the Patriots, then you were correct.
There’s a lot to be excited about if you’re a Buffalo Bills’ fan right now.
After pretty much everyone ruled this team out after a rough 0-2 start, they’re showing that they belong just as much as any other team. They proved it with a shutout victory against the undefeated New England Patriots on Sunday.
Without Tom Brady in the mix for the final time this season, LeSean McCoy and Rex Ryan made it known after the game that they weren’t ever going to let the Patriots take this game.
Here’s what our head coach said about the victory:

S Aaron Williams, who has been a very consistent player for the Bills this season, is already excited for the next month:

With two straight wins, the Buffalo Bills have a chance to get their third in a row with a victory vs. the Los Angeles Rams in LA. That game will start at 4:25 PM on Sunday, so let’s hope for a good week of practice.
