It’s a good thing most of the snow was cleared out of Highmark Stadium ahead of Sunday’s AFC Divisional playoff game between the Chiefs and Bills.

There was enough snow left in the stadium, however, for Bills fans to express their displeasure about the season-ending 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

Those fans made snowballs and threw them at quarterback Patrick Mahomes as he was leaving the field.

“I knew the fans were going to be rowdy,” Mahomes told reporters after the game but he didn’t mention the snowballs.

Bills Mafia is known for its table-breaking celebrations. And now we can say they deal with losses by throwing snowballs at the opposing quarterback.
