Video: Danny Amendola spikes football into usher’s face

Trailing by a score of 33-13 didn't stop Danny Amendola from emphatically spiking the football after scoring a meaningless touchdown.

Another non-contending Bills teams heads to Canada

Week 15, a make or break week for many teams around the league should make for another entertaining week of football. That being said for the fans north of the boarder they have yet another lack luster game ahead of them. Since 2008 the NFL has gone to Toronto every year with the “Home Team” […]
