BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer has reached one year of sobriety after battling alcoholism, he announced on his Instagram page Saturday.
Poyer, 29, said that after the Bills lost to the Houston Texans in the AFC wild-card game during the 2019 season, he was so distraught that "for the next 5 weeks, I drank every damn day."
"I was an alcoholic," he wrote in an Instagram post. "I'm writing this knowing there are others out there like me that realize they too need help. My first step was realizing I had a drinking problem.
