Despite some of the “bad blood” that’s been built between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs over the past few seasons, the negativity that surrounded Buffalo’s loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Divisional on Sunday appears to be healing a bit with some love and band-aids, unlike bullet holes would.
Cheesy puns about Taylor Swift and her “Bad Blood” hit aside, the pop icon’s presence at Highmark Stadium for the game in support of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has sparked her passionate and cult-like fans to show their true colors toward the Bills, particularly kicker Tyler Bass.
Bass missed a potential game-tying 44-yard field goal with 1:47 left in the fourth quarter that essentially sealed Buffalo’s fate. The Chiefs picked up one first down and escaped with a 27-24 win.
Whether right or not, the weight of the loss fell on Bass’ shoulders. Fans had their frustrations and rightfully so, but things got out of hand quick when some ]decided to send Bass death threats. He deactivated his social media accounts as a result.
