Isaiah McKenzie goes viral with a heartfelt request for the Bills Mafia
The Buffalo Bills have been busy this offseason.

The Buffalo Bills have been busy this offseason.
Tremaine Edmunds signed with the Chicago Bears, Jordan Poyer has been re-signed, and the team picked up an offensive lineman, running back, and a few other players. Outside of that, Brandon Beane has manipulated the cap with a few restructures and contract negotiations. Put plainly, the Bills general manager has been putting in the work.
However, along with Tremaine Edmunds, Buffalo lost a fan favorite this offseason. Isaiah McKenzie was dropped from the team, and shortly thereafter McKenzie was picked up by the Indianapolis Colts.
McKenzie crowned himself the "face of the franchise" which was a nickname the Bills Mafia loved. His infectious smile and attitude are one that will undoubtedly be missed at One Bills Drive. While McKenzie may not have lived up to the high expectations put upon him, his presence in the locker room will be hard to replicate.
McKenzie wasted no time with a special message for the Bills Mafia, one that has quickly gone viral.
The simple yet heartfelt request was an easy one: he wants the Bills Mafia to support him during the Bills' bye week.
Quickly, the Bills Mafia flooded the former player's tweet with incredible responses, showering him with love and support.
While it's impossible to speak for the entire fanbase, we have a feeling McKenzie's simple request will be answered with a resounding yes. Buffalo has one of the most diehard fanbases in any sport, they love their team like family and that includes former players like McKenzie as well.
With the schedule not released, it's unclear when the Bills' bye week will take place. Nevertheless, Bills Mafia may be using that week to become fans of the Colts to cheer on "the face of the franchise" at least one more time.
