Buffalo Under the Helmet Ep. 5 | Featuring Center, Connor McGovern

This week on Buffalo Under the Helmet presented by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, we’re live from Wingnutz Buffalo for a special Thanksgiving edition of the show featuring Buffalo Bills Center Connor McGovern. With the Bills deep in the playoff hunt, Connor sits down with Rich for a candid, upbeat conversation about the season, the locker room, and the moments that have shaped the 2025 campaign. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we open the show by focusing on gratitude, on and off the field, and explore what keeps the morale high during the grind of an NFL season. Connor shares what he’s most thankful for this year, who sets the tone in the locker room, and what makes this Bills roster special. He reflects on proud moments from the season and offers advice he’d give his rookie-year self. Filled with positivity, leadership perspective, and fan-favorite insight, this segment sets the stage for one of our most fun episodes yet. Then, we turn up the energy with our first-ever Thanksgiving Draft, a five-round showdown where Connor and Rich each build the ultimate Thanksgiving table. From turkey to wild-card picks, the rules are simple: draft a dish and a Bills player or legend each round. The Wingnutz crowd decides the winner, making for one of the most entertaining segments of the season. As the Bills push through a crucial stretch at 7–4, Connor also breaks down the team’s mindset heading into the playoff race. He discusses the identity of “Bills football,” the balance between veterans and rookies, how the team stays confident, and what fans can expect as the stakes rise. Connor also unveils his Paula’s Donuts Sweet Play of the Season, giving an exclusive look at one of the biggest moments from his vantage point at center. To close out the show, Connor takes live fan questions from the Wingnutz audience, delivering laughs, insights, and some memorable Thanksgiving-week moments.
