The Buffalo Bills (8-6) have used the slogan “Defend our Dirt” (or in the case of the instant classic 13-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts, defend our snow) when referring to the team’s attitude towards playing home games in New Era Field.
As the home portion of the 2017 season wrapped up with Sunday’s 24-16 win over the rival Miami Dolphins, the Bills not only stayed alive and in the hunt for a Wild Card berth, Buffalo also finished with a 6-2 mark in home games, the team’s best record since the 1999 squad won six of eight at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
