On the day when a snow blizzard took over, the Bills vs the Niners on Sunday Night. Their fans didn’t only have fun witnessing the Bills clinch their playoff spot in chilling conditions. They had a few fun moments themselves that were caught in the cameras. However, one that didn’t could bring shame to the Bills Mafia.
Well, there was an eight-year-old who attended the game at Highmark Stadium amid such wintry conditions. Mia DeCamilla, who is a cancer survivor, decided to watch her first NFL game after winning in life. She was so excited after beating cancer that Mia also brought a poster that read, “I Beat Cancer! My First NFL Game!” Mia also wore a 49ers hat to protect herself from the cold conditions.
However, instead of being given a warm welcome, she had to go through a horrible experience. As per an Instagram account named @sweetbuffalo716, Mia had to go home early. Because of “an inebriated Bills fan who pushed her down the stairs in section 312.” But fortunately, that fall didn’t cause Mia any injuries, as she fell against the seats on her way down.

This account didn’t just question the Bills community; it also urged them to ‘Do better’ in their caption. They were even sorry for the experience little Mia had to go through in Buffalo, “We love our Bills fans and know this isn’t a reflection of them because of one bad egg. We love you, Mia, and we’re sorry this happened.” Some people in the comment section also wanted that fan to be punished for his actions: “I hope somebody dealt with that person for doing that.”
Although we don’t have that information about what happened to the fan who pushed Mia. The Bills Mafia should keep themselves and those around them safe. Even if they are supporting their rivals on the day, as in the case of Mia. Now, this was the incident that wasn’t captured by the lens. However, the ones that did also didn’t reflect well on the Bills community.

Bills fans causing nuances on Sunday Night snow storm
Just when the game started in Orchard Park, the Bills fans made themselves heard with a unique gesture. As the 49ers kicker, Jake Moody launched his 33-yard field goal attempt. The cameras at the stadium caught something flying toward the football. Fans who were watching the game from their comfort quickly got on their phones and tweeted, “Watch closely..I think somebody tried to throw a snowball at Jake Moody’s kick lol.” Well, it’s true. If you watch Moody’s field goal again, you can see a snowball being thrown at his effort.
Although it was a hilarious attempt to stop him from scoring, Moody ended up giving the 49ers an early 3-0 lead. And that wasn’t the only instance where the Bills fans tossed snowballs on Sunday. When 49ers running back, Christian McCaffrey was on his way to the locker room after suffering a non-contact injury. Bills fans decided to throw snowballs at last year’s Offensive Player of the Year. But keep in mind none of them managed to pinpoint their accuracy, unlike their QB Josh Allen.

And this trend continued when the Bills RB Ray Davis scored his team’s first TD of the night. Seeing him put the Bills on the driving seat before the end of the first quarter got their fans brimming with excitement. A large section of them decided to throw snowballs in the air to celebrate the TD. No matter whatever controversy took place in Buffalo last night. The Bills rammed through the 49ers 35-10, thereby clinching themselves a spot for the playoffs. Whereas the 49ers could be heading for an early exit after making to the Super Bowl last year.
