The Jills at the Bills-Ravens Game

After a loss in New Jersey at the hands of the Jets, the Bills returned home Sunday to face off against against the reigning Super Bowl Champions, the Baltimore Ravens. The last time the Bills faced and beat a reigning champ was in 1996 when they beat the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 10-7. On this sunny September day though, the Bills ended that 17-year drought behind solid running, some explosive plays, and a stifling defense that limited Ray Rice to 17 yards and intercepted Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco 5 times, including 2 apiece by S Aaron Williams, filling in at CB, and rookie LB Kiko Alonso, now the league leader in interceptions.

Of course the fans played a part in the win as well with a lot of crowd noise, led by the Buffalo Jills. Even down a few girls, including a captain and her co-captain, they performed strong all game long. Emmy, Kelsey, and Katie managed things on their line pretty well with rookie Allysha probably having the smile of the game. As a photographer, girls who smile for the camera are a major plus as they make the job more rewarding and they present a positive image to the multitudes of fans viewing the photos. A number of girls have done a great job with that this season so far like Katrina, Katie, and Alyssa K but Allysha seemed to be the standout at yesterday's game. For proof of how positive this is...Jills alumni Valerie (2006-12) and Murissa (2008-11) were always among the most popular with the fans and the Bandettes' biggest camera ham, Stephanie O, has an NLL Girl of the Year award. So it's definitely appreciated by more than just me.

The Jills also did a little extra for the fans this week as, like they did 2 weeks ago, they did a Bandettes-esque costume change for their 3rd quarter break performance that they performed in the scoreboard endzone. It's definitely been a popular look with the fans and I know that the Bandettes have enjoyed doing many costume changes so one would think that the girls on the Jills are enjoying it as well.

Next up, the Jills will be back at home on October 13th when the Bills return to face the Cincinnati Bengals after this week's Thursday night matchup in Cleveland.
