Though the crew at Highmark Stadium — and even some enterprising fans who were paid $20 an hour — worked diligently to clear the field of snow ahead of the Buffalo Bills’ rescheduled Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday, it was a different story in the stands.
The built-up snowbanks provided more than enough ammunition to fuel an epic celebration after Buffalo scored its first touchdown of the game on a nine-yard pass from Josh Allen to Dawson Knox.
After a Lambeau-style leap into the snow-filled bleachers, fans celebrated the score predictably: by throwing snowballs, both in the air and onto the field. Here’s a glimpse at some of the chaos that ensued as the crowd celebrated a 7-0 lead.
Tight ends going back-to-back. 🔥

After a snowstorm delayed what was originally supposed to be a Sunday afternoon game, it’s clear that Bills fans are just as rowdy as you would expect despite the elements and being forced to wait an extra day for some postseason action.
