After reflecting on the Bills win over the Bengals, I can't help but think big picture.
Why this Bills win felt different than the rest, where they could go from here and why the Christian Benford play might wind up being *the* moment of 2025.

Would have been a wise strategy to reach his destination.
Shouldn't Slay have made it clear once he was released he only wanted to go to 2 places? (I saw Philly and Detroit)
