The Buffalo Bills are set to travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. They are slight underdogs for the Divisional matchup since recent Super Bowl champs Patrick Mahomes and company have had another successful season.
It seems as though Emmanuel Sanders and Stefon Diggs are digging the underdog mindset. They are going into Sunday's game with a motto identical to that of the Philadelphia Eagles in their improbable Super Bowl win in 2018. Bills reporter Matt Parrino tweeted the star players' mental strategy Tuesday evening.
Emmanuel Sanders said on SportsCenter today that he came up with a new team motto today during a conversation with Stefon Diggs to mentally prepare for going into Arrowhead on Sunday:
“We’re all we got and we’re all we need.” #BillsMafia

“We're all we got and we're all we need” coincided with both the Eagles' underdog mentality and the “No one likes us, we don't care” motto from 2018. They used it to break huddles the entire season leading up to the Eagles' first Super Bowl win in franchise history. Here is one example from the beginning of the season, where safety Malcolm Jenkins leads the chant.
Sanders and Diggs definitely have the right idea going into Kansas City. The Bills are serious playoff contenders and they proved that in their dominating Wild Card Weekend win over the New England Patriots. However, being the away team at Arrowhead is intimidating, to say the least. Why not break out any mindset possible, especially one that has proven to defy ridiculous odds?
