A whole lot of snow got dumped on Buffalo ahead of Saturday night’s NFL clash between the Bills and Miami Dolphins. Temperatures were around 29 degrees just before kickoff, and one to two feet of snow are expected to accumulate in Buffalo by the end of the weekend.
The environment is less than ideal for the visiting Dolphins, who have lost two straight and desperately need a win to keep contending for a playoff spot. Miami coach Mike McDaniel has tried to his best to ignore the weather, but a blanket of snow could absolutely impact an outcome of a game.
But for the Bills Mafia? The conditions were just right.
The NFL’s rowdiest fans didn’t let a little snow or frigid temperatures put a damper on their pregame festivities.

And of course, we had a Bills fan breaking a table with the help of a mountain of snow.

This fan stayed at home, but had his backyard setup ready to roll for kickoff.

And some Bills fans took it upon themselves to dig out their own seats in the stadium too.

Update: With all that snow, some of it ended up back on the field during the game...

Unsurprisingly, Highmark Stadium had some thoughts about that.
