In 2017, the Buffalo Bills had a season most people would expect to see in a Disney movie – something that walked the line of a fairy tale or folklore for most Bills fans.

The team, against insurmountable odds, prevailed through the ups and downs of the season and found themselves in an almost oxymoronic position – a Bills playoff game.

Undoubtedly, the season overflowed with memorable moments, both on and off the field, and many left Bills fans wiping away tears from their eyes. It was an emotional year for fans and we would be remiss to say that it’s possible to capture all of that emotion in this piece for you.

It isn’t possible to pack it all into this but it is possible to give you, the reader, a taste and a flashback to the five most memorable moments of Buffalo’s 2017 season.

No. 5 – Bills win in Atlanta against the defending NFC Champs

In their trip to the Peach State’s new shining jewel, Mercedes Benz Stadium, the Bills left with a smile from ear to ear.

If you had the chance to check out ESPN’s predictions before the tilt, as a Bills fan you’d be deflated and a little bit angry. Unanimously, ESPN selected the Atlanta Falcons to win the football game but Buffalo ended up winning 23-17.

What resonated throughout the Atlanta game was that the Bills and head coach Sean McDermott had something special brewing. It was the heart and determination to keep pushing, even in the face of adversity, that you could feel coming from the Buffalo sideline that made this game so special. It was the notion that this team and this coaching staff was different than the others that tried.

This moment lands at No. 5 because it was the start of something bigger than what Bills fans knew. It was the start of Buffalo’s long push to break the playoff drought.
