The Buffalo Bills' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars stings even more when you look at the potentially devastating injuries the Bills faced during the contest. From Matt Milano to DaQuan Jones, the team lost much more than a game.
Bills Mafia was discussing the potential advantage that the Jaguars received from staying in London an extra week, undoubtedly giving them a boost in the contest. In fact, even Roger Goodell admitted that this was an advantage the NFL wanted to use for testing purposes, which is absolutely rage-inducing.
To add insult to injury, Jaguars RB Travis Etienne, who erupted in the contest for over 100 yards and two touchdowns, added that the team did in fact get a boost in the competition, furthering the Bills Mafia's sentiment on the unfair conditions of the game.
Etienne, when discussing being in London for back-to-back weeks and the advantage it had, offered the following. "I felt like it really created a great edge for us." Ettienne began when discussing the previous contest.
The talented running back continued, "Just knowing how I felt (last Sunday) in the Falcons game, the first game that we had out here, and having the whole week out here, just being able to get our bodies adjusted and not having to have that jet lag on us throughout the game."
Etienne's comments sting as Bills head coach Sean McDermott opened up on how they worked with the sports science department on when to travel for the contest, and how it would have an impact on the game. Something we're sure McDermott wishes he would've made an adjustment to.
To conclude, Etienne offered something that all of the fanbase fully understood when watching the game for the first 3 and a half quarters, "I feel like it played a huge part."
Throw all of the London games into the sun. While the fanbase showed up and showed out in large numbers, the devastating toll this had on the team cannot be overstated.
