Sammy Watkins didn’t go out of his way to say anything negative about his former team, the Bills, when his current club beat them, 38-24, in the AFC Championship game. But Watkins certainly was not signing their praises or trying to mend any wounds on social media on Sunday.
Watkins has dealt with a series of injuries during the 2020 season. That injury bug he had with the Bills early in his career, as he was a first-round pick of the franchise in 2014, never really left his side.
Because of a calf issue, Watkins was watching the AFC title game and naturally was cheering for his current team. Via his social media account on Twitter, Watkins, in particular, was excited about his team’s defensive prowess, continually tweeting about sacks and interceptions.
Some in Bills Mafia were a little sour grapes seeing that. Understandably so since Buffalo was losing.
On at least two occasions, Watkins decided to remind a lucky Bills fan or two that his career hasn’t been so bad since leaving Buffalo.
First, Watkins projected himself winning a second Super Bowl ring in two weeks as his team faces the Bucs in Super Bowl LV.

Then he took an approach of reminding another individual that he’s won more, personally, since departing the Bills.
I been winning every since I left so that’s says a lot..! You right..! Back to back Super Bowls..!

Watkins didn’t start it, but he didn’t really ignore the internet messages, either.
