Tyler Bass on support from Bills Mafia: 'It really made me happy'
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass hasn't had a year to write home about. It's been largely inconsistent.
But through it all, Bills fans have still shown their support.
Bass expressed his pleasure with the home crowd after his perfect day in Week 7 when he made both field goal attempts and all four extra points.
It wasn't just after making a kick that Bass felt the support. It was long before the game even started.
"When I got out there for pregame, man, there was a lot of love," Bass said postgame. "It was super cool to see. The true fans really love you unconditionally. And that made me really happy. They were there for me and have always been there for me."
The bounce-back game from Bass came just a few days removed from head coach Sean McDermott saying he was "concerned" with his kicker. Bass' inconsistencies have led to the Bills recently working out free-agent kickers and even signing one to the practice squad.
Although his longest on the day was only 30 yards, Bass did his job and he now has something to build off of. If Bass continues to kick like he did in Week 7, he won't have anything to worry about.
The perfect game gave Bass a boost in his kicking stats. He now has made 11 of 14 field goal attempts (78.6%), which ranks 25th in the NFL.
