But come Sunday, Lodish will be rooting for the Buffalo Bills.

He was a backup defensive lineman on the Bills' Super Bowl teams of the early 1990s, then won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos. But he retains a strong sense of loyalty to the Bills聽鈥� and to their fans.

"I love the passion of Bills Mafia," Lodish says. "I love what they're all about. I love that they give back to the community. And I love that they love us former players."

Is it any wonder, then, that Lodish has plans to party with Bills fans in Detroit ahead of Sunday's big game? He has an invitation to tailgate with Water Buffalo Club 716 as its Grand Poohbah, wearing one of those tall, Flintstones-inspired horned hats. But he has no plans to go to the game.

"Unless someone wants to give me a ticket,鈥� he says. 鈥淏ut I'm not spending $1,000 on one. I鈥檇 rather watch from the comfort of my couch."

Those four Super Bowls with the Bills and two with the Broncos added up to Lodish being, for 16 years, a walking, talking trivia question: Who played in the most Super Bowls?

The answer, from 1999-2015, was him. That's when Tom Brady played in his sixth. (Brady would wind up with 10, of course, and former New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski has since tied Lodish for second place with six.)

"Tom Brady," Lodish says, "is not bad company to be in."

Lodish played in 166 games across his 11 NFL seasons, with 31 starts. He had 123 tackles and 8陆 sacks. He was listed at 6-foot-3 and 275 pounds. But statistics rarely tell the full story.

Lodish was a team player who was a valuable reserve because he could play multiple positions on the defensive line. He was known as a hard worker, too. He had to be in order to play so long in the NFL, mostly as a backup, on deeply talented teams.

"If someone went down, you had to be ready to step in," he says. "And that's what I did. Our Buffalo Bills had tremendous depth."

This summer, Lodish was walking a trail in California's Yosemite Valley when he came upon a man wearing a Bills cap. Lodish is 57, and he says the man in the cap appeared to be about 10 years younger.

"I knew he wouldn't recognize me," Lodish says. "I had hair when I played, and I shave my head now. So I said, 'Are you Bills Mafia?' And he said, 'You know it.' And I said, 'OK, let me ask you a quick question. Do you remember the Super Bowl teams?' And he said, 'Yeah, that's my era.'

"So then I said, I'm going to give you a last name: Lodish.' And this man replied, and I quote: 'Tenth-round draft choice. UCLA. Run-stopping beast. Blue-collar guy, loved by the fans.鈥� 鈥�

That, Lodish says, stopped him cold.

"I looked in his eyes and I almost cried," he says. "Then I said, 'Thank you for that compliment. It's wonderful to meet you.' And he looked at me, all surprised, and he goes, 'Holy (crap)!鈥櫬犫��

This kind of thing happens to Lodish often.

"If I see someone in Bills gear, and they look old enough," he says, "I'll ask them, 'What if I throw a name out to you?' And 80% of the time, they're right on the money."

Lodish says the Bills will need to stop the run against the Lions. He knows more than a little about how that works.

"It's going to be a tough challenge," he says. "The Bills are struggling to stop the run 鈥� not every game, but in their losses. It is a critical thing that needs to get fixed."

These days, Lodish is a national account manager for Herc Rentals, which leases heavy equipment to companies in construction and other industries.

"The Buffalo branch manager for Herc is Pete Riedy," Lodish says. "When he was 13, he was the kid who held the cord for Marv Levy's headgear."

That's not coincidence. That's Buffalo.
