Buffalo Bills fans have been singing Shout at Highmark Stadium for decades, but there's a new song they're playing that has the Bills Mafia making a new tradition.

Now? It's Mr. Brightside by The Killers, a song adopted by other sports fans over the years. So how did that happen? What's the history here?

Let's go back to December of 2023. Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid wanted to hear it while playing the Dallas Cowboys, and the Bills' gameday crew complied. It's become a tradition since.

There you have it. You'll be hearing Mr. Brightside from the Bills and their fans weekly at home games.
