It was a day, and a game, to remember. The Buffalo Bills annihilated the Washington Redskins with a 23-0 win that brought the crowd to their feet. Not only did that place Buffalo 5-2 in the season and is again tied atop the AFC East with New England but made for a history day for the Bills Toronto Series and Rogers Centre.
Current players and alumni were keenly aware of the support Toronto had for the team and the game:
Spencer Jackson:
“I know I was very critical of the environment. But from the very beginning, they were making noise, then they started doing the wave in the fourth quarter (I know, I’m as embarrassed about it as you are). Any noise is good noise. I think we gave them something to cheer about and that’s also something we haven’t done in the past.
Jim Kelly:
“The fans this year were great,” said Bills quarterbac king legend, adding that extra push from the home side is appreciated by the players on the field.
George Wilson:
“Earlier in the week, I was very critical of the vibe up here, and I talked about having to give the crowd something to cheer about,” Wilson said. “This was definitely the most exciting crowd we’ve had since we’ve played up here.”
And fans were quick to show their support to a team who played a monumental game of football. Spirits are high for the 2012 games in the Bills Toronto Series and we know the Bills can make it to the Superbowl this year.
Go Bills.
