There is obviously no NFL team in Toronto, and Orchard Park is only a quick 2 hours drive away from the City. Naturally, many Ontarians are fans of the Bills because of the proximity to the team.
At the home opener, Leafs stars Mitch Marner and Morgan Reilly decided to take the trek down to Buffalo to watch the Bills. The Bills social media team got wind they were there and showed some love on Twitter.
This post was met with some backlash from Sabres Fans, who weren't happy that their City's NFL team was showing love to the Leafs.
The battle of the QEW is strong, with a rivalry quietly brewing between the Leafs and the Sabres over the past few years. Obviously, this is all fun and games, and not everyone was upset that the Leafs were supporting the Bills.
