Ed Oliver said he felt the love from Bills Mafia in first home game
Ed Oliver said he felt the love from Bills Mafia against the Chargers, in what was his first game played at the new Highmark Stadium on Sunday.
Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver played his first home game at the new Highmark Stadium on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, who lost 24-16. The Bills (3-0) had difficulties against the Chargers (0-3), but the defense was a standout performer, as the offense struggled. The team had introduced individual starting defense players to the crowd before the game, and Ed Oliver was among them.
This pregame introduction took place ahead of the Bills Mafia's Week 2 home opener. Unfortunately, Oliver had suffered a personal tragedy this offseason, and he was inactive for the previous week's game, meaning Sunday marked his first home game in front of the Bills Mafia in Orchard Park. When the players were introduced, one of the loudest cheers was for Oliver, showing the fans' support for him during a difficult time.
Upon reflecting on the game, Oliver expressed his gratitude, saying, "I love Bills Mafia and they love me back."
