The Bills gave Twitter the opportunity to revel in Aaron Rodger’s misfortune before the Packers gave their fans some hope to cling to in a loss.
This week’s Sunday Night Football matchup looked potentially lopsided with the juggernaut Bills taking on the spiraling Packers.
And it mostly played out as expected with Buffalo jumping out to a big lead in the first half.
With the Packers trailing by multiple touchdowns and Aaron Rodgers looking like he had seen enough, Twitter went to town.

As much fun as Twitter had trolling Rodgers, the Packers did show signs of life in the second half. In fact, fans in Green Bay mostly came away encouraged by the 10-point loss.
Then again, there’s only so much positive you can say about a fourth-straight loss.
It certainly could have been worse for the Packers, who trailed 24-7 at halftime. The Bills didn’t exactly impose their will on them in the second half the way they did in the first. That had Buffalo fans feeling just slightly uneasy.
It says a lot about the Bills that they enjoyed a relatively comfortable victory despite two bad Josh Allen interceptions.
In the end, Allen finished with 218 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 49 yards.
Rodgers had 203 yards and two touchdowns with one costly second-half interception while Aaron Jones feated with 143 yards on 20 carries.
The Bills will be on the road next week facing off with the Jets with a chance to grab more control of the AFC East.
The Packers will expect to have a better chance of ending their losing skid by taking on the Lions on the road. Detroit has lost five in a row.
