This season has been a fairy tale.
In a year that has tested every person mentally, often needing an escape, the Buffalo Bills have stepped up in the biggest way imaginable. The team is one win away from Super Bowl LV.
If this were a movie script, it's very simple how the rest of the season would go. The Bills would defeat the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, in their place, in the AFC Championship Game.
A man that has tormented me and all Bills fans for two decades, looking to cement his legacy as the greatest quarterback of all-time, would have to go through the Bills one last time in the Super Bowl.
I. Want. Tom. Brady.
I want to beat Tom Brady.
As a 25-year-old Bills fan, growing up was getting hammered by Brady and the New England Patriots year-after-year-after-year. A reason we look back so fondly on the Week 3 victory in 2011 over New England was that it was so rare.
A whole generation of Bills fans were not able to talk about division races, and started every season 0-2, until they reached their 20s, in large part because of one guy.
The Bills win over the Patriots on Monday Night Football in Week 16 this season satisfied some of these feelings. Watching Bill Belichick launch a phone in anger as he was getting beat was my favorite moment of the regular season.
However, the one thing missing was Brady. We beat New England, but we still haven't beat No. 12.
Brady's record against the Bills is 32-3, with two of those losses being games Brady left early, 272 yards per-game, 72 touchdowns and 25 interceptions.
No one has ever dominated one team like that in the history of the sport.
Despite all of that, the Bills can even the score, at least in the minds of their fans.
If the Bills win Super Bowl LV over Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that record of 32-3 will be burned to ashes in the minds and hearts of Bills fans.
It would be the absolute sweetest way to win Buffalo's first championship, but I'm not being nitpicky.
If the Bills find a way to beat the Chiefs and Green Bay Packers, you will not hear me complaining. But bring me Brady, and let's hope the Bills even the score.
