The Buffalo Bills have gotten off to a red-hot start to the 2020 NFL season at 3-0. Unfortunately, it appears fans will not get to witness their team firsthand any time soon.

The Bills have announced, via their official Twitter account, that they will be extending their initial plan to not have fans at the games due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic:

“We hope you, your family and friends remain healthy and safe, and are enjoying our strong start to the season. At the end of August, we announced we would not be having fans for the first two games of our season based on guidance from the New York State Department of Health for professional sports. As of today, there has been no change to those protocols and fans will not be able to attend home Bills games for the foreseeable future.

“We promise you we are working diligently behind the scenes to ensure we are ready to provide fans with a safe environment should protocols change and we are able to root for the Bills in person. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your account representative.”

The NFL has allowed to teams to make the decision on whether to allow fans or not based on the restrictions of their local and state governments. While most have already acknowledged the prospect of playing all eight home games in empty stadiums, there are a few that have been allowed to set a capacity.

Head coach Sean McDermott was among the most outspoken voices against the lack of consistency in the NFL's decision and the impact it could have on those abiding by safety protocols. His frustrations is certainly understandable considering his team is losing one of the major home-field advantages go not having the Bills Mafia around.

Fortunately, McDermott and the fans can take solace in the fact that this has not prevented them from taking care of business on the field. They will look to remain undefeated for their two-game road trip before returning home to host the Kansas City Chiefs in primetime in Week 6.
