The Buffalo Bills resurrect a depressed Commanders fan with a stunner! It’s the AFC Championship game, the final hurdle to the Super Bowl. The Bills took on the defending champions, Kansas City Chiefs. Heading into the game, the odds were stacked in favor of Mahomes & Co. and it made sense too, until Josh Allen and James Cook almost stitched a late comeback, leaving the Arrowhead Stadium in shock. On the other hand, this also left NY Knicks star Josh Hart on his feet, as he switched his loyalty instantly!
A few moments before the Allen-Cook magic on the field, the NY Knicks guard had just suffered a major heartbreak. Hart visited the Lincoln Financial Field to witness the NFC Championship game, rooting for the Washington Commanders. Already, the 29-year-old had to face a lot of banter from his teammates before even the game started. On top of it, they suffered a blowout 55-23 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles.
An upset Josh Hart left the facility very early! Amid this somber time, James Cook’s touchdown late in the AFC Finals third quarter resurrected the star. He instantly took to his X handle, and wrote, “I am part of Bills Mafia for the rest of the season…Go Bills!”

Well, Josh Hart may have spoken too soon on this occasion as well. After the late third-quarter stunner, the Bills could only hold momentum for a brief period. Kansas came back again stronger in the fourth quarter, snatching the lead in the 10th-minute mark.
Patrick Mahomes did it all by himself. However, the Bills didn’t go down without a fight. They tied the game at 29 with 6 minutes left. Nevertheless, it went in vain, as Harrison Butker’s clutch 35-yard field goal sealed the game and took the Chiefs to the Super Bowl.
Will poor Josh Hart face yet another round of incessant trolling?

It definitely wasn’t an easy day for Josh Hart. Both teams that he supported lost. Moreover, it’s not about the loss but the trolling that follows. Importantly, it started on the day before the games began! So, last night after the comprehensive win over the Sacramento Kings, Knicks leader Jalen Brunson made an odd request to the Eagles’ fans…
Speaking to the reporters after the Kings win, he said, “Tomorrow, Josh Hart is going to the game, so Eagles’ fans you know what to do… Whenever you see someone not wearing Eagles gear, harass the hell out of them.”
The Commanders’ supporter, unfazed by the act, attended the game and left disappointed before the final whistle. JB, on the other hand, didn’t hesitate to rub it in his face, as he took his X handle, and wrote, “Josh left before the 4th q started @joshhart.”

Brunson didn’t leave it at that. He shared the location of Hart to prove to his followers that the star guard was out of the stadium. Along with that, JB got trolling company, as the big man, Karl-Anthony Towns, followed it up, writing, “I can confirm this report.”
At the end of the day, it was all a friendly banter. Tomorrow, the trio will have to lock in as they face the in-form Grizzlies. What do you make of the feisty camaraderie in the NY Knicks fold? Do you share something similar with your folks too? Let us know below.
