The Buffalo Bills cemented their status as a top contender for the AFC crown on Sunday Night Football. A 38-20 victory over the reigning conference champion Kansas City Chiefs was a big milestone for a Bills team that’s struggled to compete with Patrick Mahomes & company in the past.
The Bills’ social media team basked in all the glory of their squad’s triumph and were ready to troll noted Chiefs fan, Nick Wright.
The First Things First host declared the Chiefs would come out on top all last week on his FS1 show, but fate had other plans.
“After a sleepless night, I’ve composed myself & am ready to discuss the travesty that was last night,” Wright tweeted on Monday morning. “To prepare for today’s show, I’ve preemptively blocked @kevinwildes & @Chris_Broussard on Twitter & am trying to find a way to do it in real life. @FTFonFS1 in 20 minutes.”
Wright was prepared for his co-hosts to hop on the troll train, but the Bills social media jab caught him out of nowhere like a Josh Allen-Stefon Diggs deep ball. The FS1 host rolled with the punches but did have some issues with the social media team’s editing strategy.
“Also @BuffaloBills, the lack of the/haircut tells me the second clip here is from LAST YEAR, not even this season,” Wright tweeted at the Bills. “Unfair & misleading editing!”
Wildes, one of Wright’s co-hosts, has had to listen about the Chiefs’ greatness for the past three years, and he had “old school” photo edits ready to troll Wright.
Wright, to his credit, made sure to tip the cap to Wildes in his reaction to the loss.
“I don’t know if you’re familiar with, or if Broussard’s familiar with,” Wright began. “But I’m sure the audience is, that meme of the slightly balding guy looking kind of puzzling in the air, and it says, ‘when the worst person you know makes a great point.’ That’s how I felt watching this game thinking of Kevin Wildes.”
The Chiefs will try to bounce back and get to .500 on the season when they battle Washington next week.
