The Buffalo Bills celebrated their commanding win over the Baltimore Ravens by utilizing a local culinary reference. After outgaining Baltimore 426 to 144 and forcing the Ravens to deploy emergency quarterback Joe Fagnano following injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, the Bills posted an image of Old Bay seasoning with the text "Bills Win."
