"After 53 seasons, it is time to say goodbye to a stadium that has seen several name changes, postseason successes, historic droughts and the team's franchise quarterbacks. The first regular-season game at then-Rich Stadium, now known as Highmark Stadium, pitted the Buffalo Bills against the New York Jets, and the last will once again be against the Jets at 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS)."
"The Bills, who are the seventh seed in the AFC, could jump up to the fifth or sixth seed after Week 18, giving them a small chance to host the AFC Championship Game if the top seeds lose in the playoffs. Barring that unlikely scenario, this will be the final game played at Highmark Stadium (or what locals affectionately refer to as The Ralph) before the team moves across the street to the new Highmark Stadium next season."
After 53 seasons, Highmark Stadium has hosted name changes, postseason highs, historic droughts and the franchise’s notable quarterbacks. The first regular-season game at then-Rich Stadium was against the New York Jets, and the final regular-season matchup will again be against the Jets at 4:25 p.m. ET. The Bills enter Week 18 as the AFC’s seventh seed but could rise to the fifth or sixth seed, preserving a small chance to host the AFC Championship if higher seeds falter. Unless that occurs, this game will mark the final contest at the stadium before the team moves to the new facility across the street. Fans experienced emotional sights, sounds and scenes in Western New York.
