The Buffalo Bills pushed their record above .500 with a 43-21 thumping of the Washington Football Team on Sunday at Highmark Stadium. Josh Allen, Emmanuel Sanders, Zack Moss and Micah Hyde were among the Bills with exceptional performances.
Unlike last week's demolition of Miami, the victory over Washington sparked a more confident reaction from Bills fans, including Wolf Blitzer, the CNN reporter who grew up in Western New York.
Thrilled with the 2-1 Bills
Just an unbelievable game for Buffalo. Had me a little worried when Washington put up their first two TDs, but man, the #Bills just poured it on and never stopped.

Loss to the Steelers may turn out to be the best thing. Reminded the bills week one they have to stay focused. Josh is now dealing and our defense is legit. I’m ready for the Chiefs game

The bills are so back

2 flukey plays that created the illusion of life for WFT, otherwise, it was complete domination by the Bills. Heinicke tried so hard to throw a pick-6. JA looked back to form. Great 2 weeks of discourse, everyone

Long lines at the gate before the game
45 minutes before kickoff this is ridiculous @BuffaloBills @news4buffalo @TBNSports @ByMHarrington @markpoloncarz pic.twitter.com/zVXoD2fCey

There's 70,000 people that need to be checked. Security, vax status, what have you. They've warned people to cut off the tailgates and get to the gates. It's a hard problem in a stadium with limited access points. https://t.co/yjHQvZhfAO

I understand that point - but it’s unrealistic to expect paying customers to enter a venue 90-120 minutes beforehand. Maybe our expectations need to change and that’s the new normal but entering a venue at 1130 for a 1 kickoff is no good

Fans loving the atmosphere of a Bills Sunday
One of the things I love about Buffalo is that the Bills are way ahead but the fans are not leaving the stadium #GoBills

Saw the cutest group of people totally lost on Chippewa in full head to toe Bills gear carrying a boatload of cupcakes.

Pretty sure I saw a goose in a bills jersey on the big screens at the stadium

The @BuffaloBills are gonna beat the other team so bad today that they won’t even have a name anymore.
