On Sunday, he returns to Buffalo to fire up the crowd as the Legend of the Game.
Talley said he’s excited to feel the energy of the crowd. As a former player, he knows just how important fan energy is and how the team uses that to fuel them through tough situations. With the end of the regular season underway, Bills Mafia needs to show up and be loud for its team to finish off the season how it started.
“We started like a house on fire, then we just sort of cooled off a little,” Talley said. “Now, it’s definitely, have to start to actually stick our feet in the ground and get our feet stuck in the mud a little bit.”
