The Buffalo Bills received brutal news on Wednesday as Von Miller is ruled out for the season with an ACL injury. Luckily, they’re still Super Bowl contenders, but the road becomes a little more difficult now.
Shortly after the news broke, Miller sends a reassuring message to Bills Mafia from his hospital bed. Here’s the video he sent on social media.
Don’t Blink!!.. I’ll be back! Better than ever! #BillsMafia I love you guys! Thank u pic.twitter.com/BigU2dmxoH

Although Buffalo won’t have Von Miller in the lineup for their postseason push, at least he’s staying positive about the situation. That’s all he really can do at this moment, as the superstar pass rusher must go through rehab once again. Regardless, this has to at least put Bills Mafia at ease for the future.
Unfortunately, Miller tore the same ACL he previously injured during his time with the Denver Broncos. He’s dealt with injury after injury for the last several years. Which is truly a shame as Von Miller is one of the best players in the league when he’s healthy.
We’ll see how it plays out for the Bills for the rest of this season. They’re still fighting for playoff positioning as the Miami Dolphins currently have a lead in the AFC East. Losing Von Miller to injury is tough, but it’s not the end of the world for Buffalo.
So, Bills Mafia should feel a little better after hearing Miller’s reassuring message. However, the only way Buffalo is going to truly feel happy is if the team finally wins a Super Bowl once and for all.
