The snow kept falling over Orchard Park and the entire New York City, leading to the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Many wondered if it was a repeat of the wild-card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the unstoppable snow met its match in the Buffalo Bills’ fanbase.
Last week, the wild-card game was postponed due to harsh weather conditions and torrential snowfall. Though the government implemented no emergency or traveling restrictions, the pitch looked in no way near to being playable. But watch how the Bills Mafia came together and did the unthinkable.
The Buffalo Bills are proud of their fans

Snowfall hadn’t given the Bills’ staff a break leading up to the fixture. The task seemed impossible, with more than 30 inches of snow covering the field and the seats. Since the Highmark Stadium is almost 50 years old, it lacks modern technology. But a hardcore fan base is more than that.
There’s snow place like Buffalo.

The lack of underground heaters couldn’t be enough to delay or postpone the game. The Bills Mafia answered the call raised by their team for volunteers to help with the shoveling process.
Now that the stadium is once again in pristine condition, it is just hours shy from the kick-off. The Bills will find enough motivation from their fans to go on the gridiron and earn a victory in this old rivalry matchup.
The road toward the AFC championship
This will be the 55th time these old rivals will face each other. Their rivalry has been going since the AFL days, before the inception of the NFL. And the Bills have a leg-up in this rivalry as they lead the series 29-24-1.
