Early in this NFL season, it seems like the Bills are pro football’s unquestioned juggernaut. Buffalo took the Titans to task in their most recent performance by putting on a show in a 41-7 shellacking on Monday Night Football. The Bills were so dominant that they made Derrick Henry look pedestrian, while Tennessee head coach Mike Vrabel simply couldn’t stomach the beatdown.
A recent video from NFL Films shows that the Bills — especially their defense led by All-Pro Jordan Poyer — might be as confident as they play. Just before Titans’ QB Ryan Tannehill threw the first of two interceptions on the night, a mic’d up Poyer was captured calling his own shot on “making a play.”
Given the ensuing result — a sliding Poyer pick — it’s enough to give you goosebumps:

Yes, Poyer (four tackles, one tackle-for-loss, one interception) did indeed tell us what would happen. The excitement is understandable. The star safety’s proclamation felt pretty prophetic on a night when he and the Bills defense flexed their muscles all over the hapless Titans.
Fans loved seeing Poyer's confidence before his pick
Excellent!
