The “Bills-board” has returned to Foxboro, and this time it’s actually a touch closer to Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots.
Buffalo Bills fans have, once again, won the FOX Sports Fan Bracket Challenge, winning the title of “Best Fans In Football” for a second-straight year.
The prize for the winning fanbase is a billboard posted at the location of their choice. And for the second-straight year, "Bills Mafia" chose Route 1, not too far from Gillette Stadium - where the Bills play this Sunday. This should make for a most unwelcome sight to Patriots fans headed to Sunday’s pivotal AFC East showdown.
Last season when Bills fans won the contest, the billboard was placed further south along Route 1, making it less visible to people headed to the stadium from the north. Also there were no fans in attendance at Patriots games last year, so far fewer fans will have seen it.
Now, it’s in prime tailgate territory.
One might laugh to think of the appreciation and tributes to it some locals may show this Sunday morning. Especially when FOX Sports is advocating for fans to “take a photo with it and tag us." Heaven help whoever checks those replies come Sunday.
Bills week in New England is always interesting, chock full of spirit and rivalry. This one is off to a hot start, and it’s just Tuesday.
Buffalo visits New England for a 1 p.m. EST kickoff on Sunday.
