There were more than a wagonload of lean times during the Buffalo Bills’ 17-year playoff drought—like the Monday Night Football collapse against the Dallas Cowboys, the 6-3 setback to the Cleveland Browns and the 56-10 humiliation at the hands of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick on Sunday Night Football. Still, during the 14 years I’ve had season tickets, my friends and I always envisioned a time when Buffalo would be playing meaningful games in January.
So, hope was high entering the 2020 season, especially with the Bills having made the playoffs in two of the last three seasons under head coach Sean McDermott.
