BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Dozens of Buffalo Bills fans traveled more than 2,000 miles from Mexico to witness the team's season opener against the Baltimore Ravens at Highmark Stadium on Sunday.
The group of 44 fans represents "Bills House Mexico," a Bills Backers organization in Mexico City. For many, the trip makes a lifelong dream come true.
"This is our team. It's a dream. I don't know, it's amazing," Carlos Lopez, a member of Bills House Mexico, said.

The fans spent the weekend exploring downtown Buffalo on a bus tour, making stops at the waterfront, the Old First Ward and City Hall. They also checked out the New Era store for some merchandise.
Several of them have supported the Bills for a long time, dating back to the team's glory days in the 1980s and 1990s.
"I grew up 80s Bills. Bruce Smith, Daryl Talley, Bryce Paup. I loved that," said one fan, Jacob Perez.
When asked about her favorite player, Nadia Hernandez quickly responded: "Jim Kelly, Jim Kelly, Jim Kelly."
The group is excited to see quarterback Josh Allen in action.
"I'm so excited because this is my first time in the stadium," said Hosmair Botello. "I love seeing Josh Allen playing."
They're hoping for a Bills victory in what they see as an important matchup.
"We need to get this W because of the tie breakers later on in the season," said Perez.
