The AFC Wild Card Round game between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers will be remembered forever due to the intense amount of snow that Orchard Park, New York got in the days leading up to the game. The three-plus feet of snow they got in Orchard Park, New York, home of the Bills made playing the game a logistical nightmare.
That forced the NFL and the Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, to postpone the game from Sunday until Monday afternoon. But, that didn’t stop the famous Bills Mafia tailgate scene from their favorite traditions.
If you’ve never tailgated in Buffalo, it’s an incredible experience and the fans are so hardcore. That was no different on Monday, when thousands of fans showed up to tailgate ahead of the 4:30PM kick.
One of those famous traditions is jumping through folding tables, sometimes while they’re lit on fire. That’s exactly what was happening in Buffalo on Monday, but this time with the added element of jumping off some pretty tall snow banks.

That’s Bills Mafia in a nutshell.
But, that’s not all Bills Mafia was up to this weekend. Given the amount of snowfall, the franchise asked people to come to the stadium and shovel snow on Sunday and Monday for $20 an hour and some free food. Naturally, Bills fans showed up in force, and some were even shirtless.
Stay cool, Bills Mafia.
