ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills starting safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde left the news conference from Highmark Stadium with a message.
“Plenty of games left,” Hyde said while he moved toward the locker room. Poyer followed up with “Don’t panic” as he walked out behind his teammate.
The message could have been directed toward a number of people -- the media, fans or possibly themselves. After weeks and weeks of buildup about the Bills being Super Bowl contenders and this possibly being “the year,” the first game of the 2021 season ended with a thud.
