There have been plenty of fans go viral over the years for their reactions to losses. Football fans, in particular, tend to dominate the meme-worthy moments.

Leave it to a member of Bills Mafia to be the latest, viral fan to make the waves. The Bills lost in heartbreaking fashion to the longtime boogeymen of Buffalo in the Chiefs, with Tyler Bass' game-tying field-goal attempt sailing wide right. And one fan, captured by CBS' broadcast, summed up how fans in Buffalo felt to the season coming to a close.

There aren't many fanbases that compare to Bills Mafia. They party like few others, rally around causes like few others and support their team like few others. Just ask all the Bills fans that have spent the past two weeks digging out the stadium from snow.

And this certainly felt like the year the Bills would be able to take down the Chiefs, who have plagued Buffalo in recent years. While the Bills have gone 3-1 against Kansas City in the regular season, they are now 0-3 against the Chiefs in the playoffs. 

The 2023 season also felt like the best chance Buffalo would have to knock out Kansas City. The Chiefs appeared to be vulnerable throughout the season and for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era, they would have to play a true road playoff game. Instead, Mahomes and the Chiefs wound up winning again, marking the third time in four years Buffalo was knocked out of the playoffs by Kansas City.

And for the Bills and Bills Mafia, Josh Allen seemed to sum up the feelings well.

"It sucks. Losing sucks. Losing to them, losing to anybody at home sucks," Allen said after the game. "Losing sucks. I don't know what else to say."
