If family plans would have gone through, Buffalo Bills linebacker A.J. Klein would have had his toes in the water in Key West this weekend. Instead, he found himself playing a key role for the Bills in frigid temperatures in a 31-17 Wild Card Round win over the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday at Highmark Stadium.
After being released by the Bills on Dec. 9, Klein was out of football and was planning a vacation to Key West with his family after purchasing an RV. Then, with the Bills decimated by injuries at the linebacker position, head coach Sean McDermott and the franchise turned to a familiar face, putting the Klein family vacation on hold.
