The Buffalo Bills announced their 2024 Fans of the Year on Friday and used a couple of old friends to help surprise the award’s recipients.
Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas took some time to honor longtime Bills fans, ‘The Chefs’, for their dedication to the Bills over the years.
Season ticket holders since 1999, The Chefs have been a staple at Bills games and tailgates and have been known by their nicknames Chef Poo and Chef Norm.
Before being honored by the Bills as Fans of the Year, Norm and Poo were asked to enter a Bills trailer at Highmark Stadium and share their best Bills memories. A surprise knock at the door from Hall of Famer Jim Kelly changed the course of their day.
