I like it when the Bills aren't the incompetent ones in a GIF.

If only it happened more often

At US$150, how did they even get that many people to go??

I paid less than that for the season opener at MetLife. Granted, it's Bills vs. Jets, but still...

Hawks looking good in the 2nd half.

Paxton Lynch is showing out. He’s the #2 QB to me after this game.

Reminds me of the "Bills in Toronto" series where the few Bills fans who live here as it is were charged more than double the prices at the Ralph 90 minutes down the road to watch regular season Bills/Jets games in a shittier environment.

And then they held the poor attendance up a "NFL football can't work in Toronto" example. Bang up job, Rogers.

Legit want to see the Browns do well this year. Think it would be fun as hell.

As bad as that experiment was, it at least - kinda, I guess - made sense since it's the same approximate media market.

But unless I'm missing the boat here, there's really no connection between Winnipeg and either of those teams, right? Or are people in Winnipeg generally Packers fans for some reason?

Going by proximity Minny is closer but who knows.

I know people in Thunder Bay are more inclined to be Vikings fans. And based on proximity as BBB said Winnipeg would fall under the same umbrella. I don't know what TV coverage Winnipeg gets though. It could be that they get Wisconsin channels, which would probably tip the scales in favour of the Packers.

The MTS channel lineup shows all of their local US affiliates as from Minny except for ABC (Grand Forks, ND).

Yeah, the Vikings would've been my guess based on geography, but I don't know anyone from Winnipeg, so...

I guess they figured they could rely entirely on the Packers name to draw people.

He says he doesn’t need to play football. Then don’t. Just go away.

Kirk Cousins complaining about Bradbury's sweating

Apparently, Kirk doesn’t like that.
