Buffalo Bills fans took over Lumen Field in their team's Week 8 win over the Seattle Seahawks, with even opposing quarterback Geno Smith taking note.
The quasi-mythical ‘12th man’ that’s made Lumen Field the stuff of legend in recent decades certainly played a role in the Seattle Seahawks' Week 8 bout with the Buffalo Bills… just not in the way it traditionally does.
Bills Mafia, as they are wont to do, took over the downtown Seattle venue in Buffalo’s comfortable 31-10 victory, with Bills-centric chants oft-being heard over the broadcast.
“Hats off to Buffalo,” Smith said. “They came in, they beat us at home. Their fans traveled well, it was real loud in there. Kind of felt like we were on the road at times. They came out, they fought, they beat us. We can say we made mistakes, but they capitalized. So those are things that we’ve got to get better at, and we’ve got a big week ahead.”
Bills fans were deep at Lumen Field on Sunday. And they were loud. Geno Smith after the game said it "kind of felt like we were on the road at times."Buffalo fans post strong numbers in opposing stadiums regardless of location, but something that potentially played a role in their particularly strong Week 8 showing was the attendance of Canadian fans.
Buffalo’s Week 8 win saw domination on all fronts, as it dwarfed Seattle in total yards , time of possession , and, where it matters most, points. Performances like these are a bit easier to pull off when you have the aid of a raucous faithful at your back; the Bills likely didn’t expect to receive this at Lumen Field, but they aren’t complaining, either.
