Round 2 of the Great American Tailgate challenge is here, and Bills Mafia has once again proven its strength.
Buffalo wings advanced with one of the most decisive margins of Round 1, reaffirming their status as one of the most recognizable and beloved tailgate foods in the country.
The challenge is a joint partnership between USA TODAY and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, who are teaming up for a nationwide celebration of the foods that define football culture across all 32 NFL cities.
Now, wings enter a Round 2 showdown against Arizona’s Sonoran carne asada tacos — a rising contender with serious regional pride behind it. This matchup pits a national icon against a fast‑gaining challenger, and while Buffalo wings carry historic momentum, nothing is guaranteed in a bracket this competitive.
Every vote cast not only helps Buffalo wings advance but also enters fans into a giveaway for a $1,000 Pro Football Hall of Fame merchandise gift card. One lucky voter will walk away with the chance to load up on Hall of Fame apparel, collectibles, and memorabilia.
This contest is part of a nationwide celebration in Canton highlighting the food identity of all 32 NFL cities — a showcase of regional pride, fan passion, and the traditions that make tailgating one of America’s greatest rituals.
So circle the wagons, Bills Mafia. Cast your vote, rep your city, and help Buffalo wings defend their crown against a surging challenger. Bragging rights are on the line — and Buffalo’s tailgate legacy is ready to soar.
