‘I was sweating’; Bills Mafia reacts to narrow win against Jets

ROCHESTER, NY – The Buffalo Bills defeated their division rival, the New York Jets, in a showdown that came down to a Bills field goal, leaving the Bills Mafia on the edge of their seats.

With the 23-20 win on Monday night, the Bills hold on to first place in the AFC East. In fact, they are the only team in the division with a winning record.

One Bills fan we spoke to at Shamrock Jack’s Irish Pub on Culver Road said he was sweating during Tyler Bass’ 22-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

Early in the game, Bass’ extra point attempt was blocked. Then, on the opening kickoff of the second half, Bass attempted a 47-yard field goal but the ball went wide right. However, Bass showed up when it mattered most, making a field goal when Buffalo was tied 20-20 with just 3:43 left in the game.

“Tyler Bass is struggling, but he figured it out. Moving the ball five yards higher, I think that helped. So he got it. No complaints,” the Bills fan said.

Another Bills fan we spoke to said quarterback Josh Allen should definitely be MVP. Allen finished with 215 yards passing and another 18 on the ground.

“I never thought he should have been out of the MVP conversation. He’s gone six games without throwing an interception. … So he’s making a much better decision,” he said.
