How ESPN's Adam Schefter inadvertently launched #BillsMafia

The game was marked by a dropped touchdown pass by wide receiver Stevie Johnson, which would have won for the Bills.

After the game, Johnson questioned God after the dropped pass, something that was picked up by national media members and Schefter a day later in a series of tweets.

"And we took that personally," fan Leslie Wille said. 

"I unintentionally and unknowingly became the villain in this origin story,' Schefter said. 

Bills fans responded by making fun of Schefter, who blocked various fans on Twitter. 

Schefter's move led another fan Del Reid to respond with the hashtag #BillsMafia, and the name was born.
