Kevin Connors, an ESPN anchor and lifelong Bills fan, reflects on how the Buffalo Bills have transformed from perennial losers to a team that garners national support. As they face their latest playoff challenge against the Kansas City Chiefs, stats show two-thirds of the country backs them, appreciating their underdog journey and tenacity. This narrative, reminiscent of resilient teams, has captivated a diverse fan base, contrasting with other teams in the playoffs, such as the well-regarded Chiefs and Eagles, who come with different expectations. The Bills' story resonates, making them America's current team of choice in the playoffs.
"America loves the story of it. America loves an underdog, but I think they really respect a team that has been there, was bad forever, built it up, gotten pretty good and just keeps getting up off the mat."
