MATTHEW SPARKS: Stay second to none

Key Highlights

• The Bills started each season determined to make it back to the big game to prove everyone wrong and disappoint those who wanted to see a new face.“The bottom line was after we lost that first one, we knew we were a good football team,” said Kelly to Trey Wingo during a 2021 podcast, “but we also knew we would have to work a little harder in the offseason.
• We did, and we wound up coming back.“After we lost the second one, the chip formed on our shoulders because no one wanted us back,” he added.
• “We just wanted to piss everyone off and go back again.
• We did that four in a row.”Kelly wasn’t the only one inducted at Canton on the roster.
• Running back Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and legendary defensive end Bruce Smith are all in the Hall of Fame.
