The city of Buffalo went through some tough times recently. A blasting snowstorm engulfed Western New York, and Orchard Park also fell prey to it. But the Buffalo Bills made their way out of the snow and reached Detroit for their games. The franchise not only won the games but also established a new legacy at Ford Field during the Thanksgiving Week game.

There is no Thanksgiving without some drama, and the Week 12 game had plenty of it. With 23 seconds remaining, the Bills-Lions game was at 25-25. With two seconds on the clock, Josh Allen led a game-winning drive to Stefon Diggs, setting up a 45-yard Tyler Bass field goal. Bass smacked the ball into the uprights for a sensational 28-25 triumph.
The Buffalo Bills became the first team to win back-to-back games at Ford Field, Detroit, since 2016. It came after the win over the Lions in Week 12. They are the first NFL team to win two games in a row at a venue other than their home field within five days.
