Buffalo Bills fans didn't want to cheer until Monday before their wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Video from Highmark Stadium showed fans taking a break from shoveling snow, removing their shirts and sliding down chutes that were supposed to contain snow. The male snow shoveling buddies laughed and laughed as everyone went back to work.

The Bills-Steelers game was scheduled for Sunday afternoon but was postponed to Monday due to dangerous weather that brought snow to the area. Bills fans gathered at Highmark Stadium and were asked to help shovel snow in exchange for about $20 an hour.
The storm was expected to bring 1 to 3 feet of snow over the weekend. Much of Erie County, New York, is subject to a travel ban until Monday morning. Steelers players arrived in New York on Sunday to begin preparations for the playoff game.

Former Bills center Eric Wood recalled to The Associated Press the first time Buffalo experienced a dangerous lake-effect storm. The storm occurred in November 2014.
Wood is one of the Bills players stranded in the Buffalo area, who will be transported by snowmobile to the team's facility before taking a bus to the airport for Detroit after the game against the New York Jets was moved to a neutral site. There was a need.
“The whiteout situation is unlike anything we've ever experienced before,” Wood told The Associated Press. “Until you experience this snow and understand its effects, it's hard to understand what can happen in such a short period of time and often without notice.”
