An unidentified individual who almost certainly is a New England Patriots fan — or one wacky provocateur — placed a team cap upon the head of the statue honoring former longtime Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson outside the stadium that bears his name only days before the two AFC East rivals square off in a huge showdown.
A tipster alerted Pro Football Talk of the statue shenanigans, something that surely will raise the ire of many a Bills fan, as Wilson is one of the most beloved and revered figures in Buffalo. If the buildup to the game between the Bill Belichick-led Patriots and Rex Ryan’s Bills wasn’t intense enough already, expect it to be ratcheted up even a few more notches now.
