During Monday's AFC Wild Card Playoff game, the Buffalo Bills faithful watched as Pittsburgh Steelers receiver George Pickens narrowly missed the corner of a touchdown glove in the end zone. , it was revealed in a video posted on Twitter that snowballs were falling one after another.
Many of the Bills' Mafia members were already clearing the snow at Highmark Stadium, and the team was recruiting local fans to help shovel snow from the stadium and remove snow from the weekend's snowstorm.
Fans threw snow at the players throughout the game, especially when Pickens dropped the ball.

The Bills fan base, already notorious for rowdy, bordering on psychotic behavior, is no stranger to snow games. However, some NFL experts took exception to their actions.
Anyone who passed through the snowman must be found and kicked out

Can we pay our respects to the legendary Woodson and relax? It's snowing. No one dies. They play a violent contact sport in which 300-pound men regularly try to hurt and crush each other. A little bit of fresh powder is their biggest concern.
And to be fair, if I had to live in a frigid tundra like Buffalo, I'd probably also get hit with a hammer or have snowballs thrown at me. I mean, what are you going to do if you just don't throw snow? boring.
Plus, when the Bills score and the stadium turns white, it makes for a pretty creepy visual.
I love snowballs thrown into the intended receiver
