Majority Leader Schumer Floor Remarks Congratulating The Buffalo Bills For Winning The AFC East Title

Washington, D.C. – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today spoke on the Senate floor on the Buffalo Bills defeating the Miami Dolphins and winning the AFC East. Below are Senator Schumer’s remarks:

Let me start out today by saying it is a great day to be a Buffalo Bills fan. For the fourth year in a row, the Buffalo Bills have won the AFC East championship, squishing the fish last night by defeating the Miami Dolphins 21-14.

What an incredible night. What an incredible win. What an incredible team. Buffalo is truly the Beast of the East.

It hasn’t been the easiest season for the Bills, but this team can be summed up in one word: perseverance. They never gave up, they never threw in the towel, and last night it began to pay off because they are on their way to the playoffs. In true Buffalo fashion, Bills Mafia showed up in the early hours of the morning at the Buffalo airport to welcome their team home. And of course, it seemed like half the people at the Miami stadium were Bills fans as well.

So, congratulations to Buffalo. Congratulations to Coach Sean McDermott and the whole team as well. Let’s keep going. And as always: Go Bills!
