Snow doesn’t stop Bills Mafia from jumping through flaming table

No matter how cold it gets or how much it snows, Bills Mafia never stops.

Fans jumping over flaming tables during tailgates is not uncommon at Orchard Park, and it was a weather-beating sight for a group of Bills fans to jump over a flaming table Monday afternoon before the Bills' playoff game against the Steelers. I was not discouraged.

One X user posted a video of three fans jumping off a large pile of snow through a table as onlookers cheered.

The Bills vs. Steelers game was originally scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m., but due to the snowstorm that hit Western New York over the weekend, the game was postponed to Monday at 4:30 p.m.

There was so much snow at Highmark Stadium that the Bills offered people $20 an hour to help shovel it.

People who could walk to the stadium began shoveling snow Sunday. The shift was originally scheduled to begin Saturday night but was delayed.

A travel ban remained in place in the region on Sunday afternoon, preventing fans from driving to the stadium.

Although the field appears to be in good condition, snow still covers most of the stadium's seats as Monday's kickoff approaches, and fans are using various methods to clear the snow.

This isn't the first time Bills fans have come under fire. Certain rituals date back at least several years.

If the Bills win, they will face the Chiefs in the district round on Sunday. If the Steelers win, they will play the Ravens on Sunday, and the Chiefs will play the Texans on Saturday.
