Bills fans provided a true home-field advantage Saturday night against the Dolphins by throwing snowballs onto the field at Miami players. It happened so frequently that officials had to threaten fans with a 15-yard penalty if they continued to do so.
As it turns out, it was the Dolphins’ head coach who requested that officials penalize the Bills because of the fans’ behavior. Mike McDaniel said he was worried about the safety of his players, which prompted him to say something in the moment.
“I was just more concerned with safety when there are ice balls flying at people’s heads,” McDaniel said, via the Miami Herald’s Jordan McPherson. ”I think that’s what [the officials] were concerned with as well. There were several people that got hit. It’s whatever.”
