We’re continuing in earnest for our quest to crown the defining play of the Buffalo Bills’ 2021 season. Remember, vote for the play that best tells the story or would make the best “cover art” for the 2021 season. We’ve burned through the runoff games, so let’s start the main tournament with the “Home Conference” games.
Game 1
Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan’s premature score celebration (One seed, 77%)
vs.
Carolina Panthers - Stefon Diggs’s touchdown (Ten seed, 32%)
The lowest-ranked play (Carolina) survived the runoff round in the Home Conference to take on the highest ranked Atlanta Falcons play. Which one better exemplifies the 2021 season? Is it a tale of teams withering under the Buffalo onslaught? Or the nigh unstoppable at times Josh Allen to Stefon Diggs connection? And remember, these are possible interpretations of the plays above, you may see them differently.

Game 3
Pittsburgh Steelers - Blocked punt (Three seed, 69%)
vs.
Houston Texans - Tremaine Edmunds’s interception (Eight seed, 35%)
We have our first disaster entering the fray. Does the blocked punt define the season? That’s not that farfetched, as a small gaffe can unwind lots of hard work, which is a story that may resonate. Or does the Tremaine Edmunds interception better show off the year?

vs.
Indianapolis Colts - Isaiah McKenzie’s fumble (Five seed, 47%)
