I mean, sure, us football junkies have known about the Wyoming Cowboy kid for years, but to a lot of casuals his name probably only vaguely rings a bell. But tonight he throws his hat into the ring to be considered amongst the current elites in the league.
It's Buffalo's time to exorcise the ghosts of past Super Bowl futility. Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Bruce Smith etc. Great players, great teams, four AFC champions, but zero Super Bowl titles...
The road to glory started last week by throttling their old nemesis and bully of the AFC East, and will continue tonight by attempting the inconceivable... winning at Arrowhead Stadium twice in the same season.
Then once they get to the AFC title game, they'll be heavy favorites against the Bengals, because Cincy won't be ready for the flying dildos at Orchard Park. All the game planning in the world can't prepare a team for flying dildos. It's the ultimate home field advantage.
And at long last, a return to the Super Bowl, where it's one game for all the marbles... The Bills can finally mend generations of broken hearts in Buffalo. The ultimate hero's journey, complete with confetti and flashbulbs, welling eyes and a hoisting of the Lombardi trophy.
The Bills are the NFL equivalent of the Georgia Bulldogs... It's just their time, their destiny, they won't be denied.
