With a 10-3 win in Game 2, the Seattle Mariners have totally outplayed the Toronto Blue Jays in two straight games and are now the favorites for their first-ever World Series appearance. But considering how dominant the Jays have been this year, and the championship series is a best-of-seven playoff, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s Jays still have hopes to turn the tables. And despite trailing 2-0, they continue to receive surprising support from one particular corner of New York.

Hoping for a comeback in Game 2, the Buffalo Bills’ wide receiver donned Guerrero’s jersey before his crucial Monday Night Football matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

As reported by Jomboy, “Bills receiver Keon Coleman arrived in a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. jersey ahead of the team’s Monday Night Football game.” After all the controversy that surrounded the Bills, the Yankees, and the Blue Jays, this move by Keon Coleman raised a lot of eyebrows.

The Buffalo Bills, New York’s only NFL team, are actually playing home games in-state, surprising fans this week. They wished the Toronto Blue Jays good luck against the Yankees in the ALDS, immediately sparking debates over their New York allegiance.

Even Jessica Pegula, Terry Pegula’s daughter, was caught off guard, replying with a puzzled “Ohhh???” comment to the post. The Yankees and Blue Jays are fierce AL East rivals, which added extra tension to the Bills’ gesture. Fans on both sides felt invested as football loyalty and baseball rivalry collided in a uniquely emotional moment. The Bills’ history of games and ownership connections with Toronto provides context, softening the surprise for some observers.

Coleman, wearing Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s jersey, proved the Bills’ loyalty sometimes crosses state boundaries easily. And fans might debate forever, but Buffalo’s connection to Toronto ensures New York pride remains amusingly complicated.

The Jays have just gone missing after the series against the Yankees

Somewhere between the Bronx and Toronto, a pattern has emerged that’s hard to ignore. Guerrero Jr., George Springer, and their Blue Jays suddenly look like tourists in a city they once ruled, while the Seattle Mariners stroll in with the confidence of a team that’s finally figured out how to punch above its weight. If you blinked, you might’ve missed just how thoroughly Toronto has been outclassed.

The Blue Jays’ offense has struggled terribly against Seattle, managing only three runs across eighteen innings total. Logan Gilbert and the Mariners’ bullpen smothered Toronto’s hitters, allowing just one hit after the first two innings. Even Vladimir and Springer, who carried Toronto’s ALDS, have been unable to ignite any meaningful momentum.

Seattle has outclassed Toronto at every stage, from pitching to timely hitting and strategic execution. Jorge Polanco has been decisive in three consecutive games, including his three-run homer that sealed Game 2. With the Mariners only two wins away from the ultimate showdown, history is firmly against Toronto mounting a comeback.

If the Blue Jays don’t rediscover their spark, Seattle’s dominance will feel almost inevitable. Polanco and the Mariners have turned Toronto’s playoff hopes into a cautionary tale of complacency. Fans can only watch as Guerrero Jr. and Springer scramble, hoping to rewrite an increasingly bleak script.
