ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — Three members of the Buffalo Bills went to social media on Monday to ask New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to allow fans for home games at Bills Stadium.
Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, long snapper Reid Ferguson, and quarterback Matt Barkley all asked the governor to allow fans at home games.
