NO CELEBRATION AFTER VICTORY: Bills Placekicker Walks Straight Into Tunnel After Week 13 Win Over Steelers Upon Receiving Emergency Family News

In the thrilling 31-28 victory by the Buffalo Bills over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season, veteran kicker Matt Prater once again proved his reliability. He converted all four extra-point attempts and nailed a 38-yard field goal midway through the third quarter — a crucial moment that helped the Bills maintain momentum in a tight game.

Yet, what happened after the game left fans and teammates stunned.

As the final whistle blew inside Highmark Stadium, Prater didn’t stick around to celebrate. No handshakes. No photo ops. No sideline hugs. Instead, he walked straight down the tunnel — his face tense, his steps quick, and his eyes set on something far more important than football.

Matt Prater only joined Buffalo Bills 3 days before becoming hero against  Ravens and had to catch red eye to make game

A Father First, Always

Just hours later, it was revealed that Prater had received an emergency call from his wife during halftime. Their youngest son, just 4 years old, had developed a dangerously high fever and was rushed to Buffalo General Medical Center. Doctors feared it might be a complication from measles.

As soon as the game ended, Prater left everything behind — the victory, the fans, the media — and drove straight to the hospital to be with his family.

"Matt doesn’t need a party. He needs to be a father. That’s the greatest heroic role a man can have."
– Head Coach Sean McDermott, post-game press conference

The Bills organization rallied behind him. Star players like Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and Dion Dawkins posted prayers and words of support on social media. The hashtag #PrayForPrater began trending among the #BillsMafia fan base.

Eagles Legend Wants to Withdraw from Eagles Hall of Fame If Kevin Patullo Isn't Fired
Can you believe it? A living legend of the Philadelphia Eagles, LeSean McCoy, is "rebelling" and threatening to withdraw from the Eagles Hall of Fame – the place that honors his great contributions! The reason? All because of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo! What's happening with this legendary team? Read now for the hottest NFL "drama"! On his Speakeasy show, McCoy "dropped a bomb" with a shocking statement: “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street.” (Translation: "Remove me. No one has ever asked. I'm going to say 'Mr. Lurie, it's either me or Kevin'. If Kevin isn't fired, put number 25 back on the street.") Number 25 – McCoy's legendary jersey number – could be "kicked out" of the Hall of Fame if Patullo remains in position? This isn't a joke, but a direct challenge to team owner Jeffrey Lurie! This "extreme" demand stems from extreme disappointment with the disastrous performance of the Eagles' offense under Patullo. The team that once "soared high" is now "free-falling" with silly mistakes, and McCoy isn't the only one "furious." Even Josh Reynolds "cursed" Patullo: “Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed…” (Translation: "Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed...") Is Patullo the "culprit" causing the Eagles to "sink"? Look at the "tragedy" of quarterback Jalen Hurts: In the most recent Monday Night Football game, he threw three interceptions – one of which was blamed on AJ Brown! Comparing this year's offensive stats to last year? Worlds apart! The problem isn't just the weak offensive line, but also the play-caller – Patullo is "miserably compared" to Kellen Moore, who once elevated the offense to new heights. The article points out: The Eagles are repeating a "historical curse" – the offense always "collapses" after losing a good coordinator, like in previous Super Bowl runs. Nick Sirianni is heavily criticized for the decision to hire Patullo: "A fatal mistake"! 👀 Eagles legend LeSean McCoy says if #Eagles do not fire OC Kevin Patullo he wants out of Hall of Fame “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street”📸 @speakeasytlkshw pic.twitter.com/DcOkLiQejA — Jeff Skversky (@JeffSkversky) December 10, 2025 And the "darkest" data: In shotgun formation (51 plays), the Eagles only achieved 4.2 yards/play, 2.2 yards/rush, 5.2 yards/pass, with 4 "stupid" interceptions. But under center (15 plays)? Explosive with 10.2 yards/play, 8.8 yards/rush, 16.0 yards/pass, and 0 interceptions! Clearly, the offense performs "miraculously" better when balanced – so why is Patullo still "stubbornly persisting" with the outdated play style? Eagles fans are "boiling with rage": Will the team listen to McCoy and "deal with" Patullo to save the season? This drama is "exploding" on social media! McCoy – with his illustrious career at the Eagles – is he really withdrawing from the Hall of Fame? Or is this a "ploy" to push for change? Who will Jeffrey Lurie choose: The legend or the "culprit"? Don't miss out – follow now to see the "shocking" outcome of the Eagles' internal war! What do you think, comment below!
