VIDEO: Bills Were Actually Motivated by Heinz Field 'Renegade' Before Beating Steelers
By Scott Rogust
The Buffalo Bills were caught in a tough battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Week 15 edition of Sunday Night Football. As is tradition at Steelers home games, the Heinz Field speaker systems blasted the hit song "Renegade" by rock band Styxx in order to pump up the defense. Yet, it had the opposite effect, as the Bills actually danced along to the song on their sideline.

The Steelers didn't expect this, did they?
Buffalo actually prepared for the Steelers game by playing "Black and Yellow" by rapper Wiz Khalifa and the aforementioned Styxx hit during practices to psych themselves up.
Josh Allen on scoring during the "Renegade" drive: "We played that song over and over again in practice...We were able to respond." #Bills also played Black and Yellow knowing these songs would be blasted tonight #NFL #GoBills

On Buffalo's very next drive after the song played, the offense marched down the field, culminating in a Josh Allen touchdown pass to tight end Tyler Kroft. Heinz Field fell silent.
The groundwork has been set by the Buffalo Bills. If the other 30 NFL teams are looking to overcome the Steelers defensive anthem, just dance along to it. You'll score an automatic touchdown. Well, maybe not all the time.
