One of the most impactful and surprising moments in Super Bowl history took place on Sunday night when Bills running back LeSean McCoy broke his forearm. The injury cost him a chance at winning season MVP, likely costing Buffalo an opportunity to make it to the playoffs as well.
The “nfl news” is a game that has been played for years. The Bills’ Super Bowl Chances were just annihilated by a massive $70 million season-ending injury.
The Buffalo Bills were in urgent need of a big victory leading up to their Thanksgiving Day battle with the New Orleans Saints. Despite being billed as Super Bowl favorites during the summer, recent defeats to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts have caused some to doubt their legitimacy.
The Colts’ defeat was particularly troubling. In Buffalo, the Colts defeated the Bills 41-15, with Carson Wentz handily outperforming Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Needless to say, the chance to reassert themselves as major contenders in front of a national audience on Thanksgiving Day versus the Saints was ideal.
On Thanksgiving, the Bills took care of business.
Before we get into the major injury that Buffalo has now confirmed, it’s essential to understand that they did indeed play on Thanksgiving Day.
In New Orleans, they thrashed the Saints 31-6, looking like a top-tier NFL squad. The offense was on fire, and the defense was forcing Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian into terrible pass after awful throw.
Despite the considerable pomp surrounding the Christmas triumph, the Bills were the greatest losers in New Orleans. An ACL injury cost them a crucial player of their defense.
Tre’Davious White, a cornerback, will miss the rest of the season due to an ACL rupture.

Tre’Davious White, the Bills’ No. 1 cornerback, tore his ACL in a game against the Saints in Week 12. White’s season will be cut short due to the injury, which will need surgery.
The Buffalo Bills have announced that cornerback Tre’Davious White has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will miss the rest of the season.
White is the guy the Bills can least afford to lose to injury, other from quarterback Josh Allen.
The Buffalo Bills confirmed that All-Pro cornerback Tre’Davious White will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday.
That’s because White is the Bills’ most highly rated player on defense, and his backups are inexperienced.
The Buffalo News’ Mark Gaughan
As Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News points out, White is the Bills’ second-most valuable player, after only quarterback Josh Allen. Due to his outstanding performance, the Bills rewarded White $70 million in the summer. He’s an essential part of a defense this late in the season.
The Bills’ hopes of winning the Super Bowl in 2021 are virtually over.

Before White tore his ACL, the Bills were already showing indications of vulnerability. Josh Allen was under a lot of pressure to win MVP, and he was having a hard time dealing with it. The running game was lackluster at best. With the secondary poised to take a significant step back as a result of White’s departure, it’s difficult to see the Bills contending for the Super Bowl this season.
Even with the AFC being so wide open, any club would find it tough to compete without their greatest defensive player.
The NFL is a risky industry, and you never know what may happen. Buffalo, on the other hand, has been dealt a devastating blow.
The Bills’ fairytale Super Bowl journey seems improbable.
