The Buffalo Bills know exactly how the Buffalo Sabres feel right now.
And we’re talking about the current Bills, not a team from a timeline long ago.
Buffalo sports teams have seen their 2025-26 seasons end in similar, heartbreaking fashion in the postseason this year.
First, for the difference: The Bills lost on the road against the Denver Broncos. The Sabres were at home and were defeated by the Montreal Canadiens.
The similarity was painful.
The Bills and Sabres both lost in the second round of their respective playoffs… both by one score… and both in overtime…
There’s always next year…
Tough times for Buffalo fans…
