For the second time this season, FedEx Field will be sold out. The Washington Commanders announced Tuesday that their Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills is officially sold out. The Commanders sold out their Week 1 opener against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Week 1 game featured one of the best home crowds since 2012, full of Washington fans rooting for the home team. Looking ahead to Sunday, will FedEx Field be full of Commanders’ fans or Bills’ faithful?
Buffalo’s fan base travels well, so there will be Bills’ fans in attendance for Sunday’s game. But don’t expect it to be like in previous years. The excitement around the Commanders under new ownership is real. And Washington also happens to be 2-0 and facing a legit Super Bowl contender this week.
One of Washington’s minority partners — and longtime fan — Mark Ein, took to Twitter to thank fans.
Thank you @Commanders fans for another sell out this coming Sunday! A month ago, there were a lot of tickets available for the first two games and they both ended up selling out well in advance. Thank you! We appreciate you and are all so deeply grateful for your support. pic.twitter.com/wgV9iPwy0f

The Bills are a touchdown favorite over the Commanders. Can the fans make a difference for the home team? We shall see.
