Hundreds of Bills fans reportedly shoveled snow for $20/hour at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium before Chiefs game

Never doubt the Bills Mafia’s commitment.

Buffalo put out a call for help to its fans, and the Bills Mafia responded.

Ahead of last weekend’s Wild Card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the area was hit with a massive snowstorm that blanketed Highmark Stadium in powder and caused the game to be delayed a day.

The Bills offered $20 an hour (as well as complementary food and warm break areas) to fans willing to go out into the elements and help shovel snow. A week later, the offer still stands.

With the Chiefs coming to town for another duel between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, hundreds of Bills fans arrived to clear out the fresh snow ahead of the game on Sunday evening.

According to Brayton J. Wilson of WBEN in Buffalo, the line to help shovel extended all the way into the parking lot.

Buffalo fans are no strangers to the cold, and there’s no doubting their commitment to their team.

Ranking all 8 NFL quarterbacks (Josh Allen! Patrick Mahomes!) playing in the 2024 divisional round

From superstars to Baker Mayfield, here’s our ranking of the NFL’s divisional round quarterbacks.

This time of year in the NFL, quarterback play reigns supreme.

Judging by the slate we’ve received for the divisional round coming this weekend, quality quarterback play can come from very different and very distinctive backgrounds.

The NFC side of the postseason field features two former No. 1 overall picks (Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield), a Mr. Irrelevant last draft pick (Brock Purdy), and a developmental prospect (Jordan Love) who sat behind a selfish egotist for nearly half a decade. And one could reasonably argue that the former top draft selections are the worst of the bunch. Go figure.

In the AFC, we’ve got two future Hall of Famers (Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen) meeting up for another surefire instant classic, the greatest rookie quarterback in history (C.J. Stroud), and a former unanimous MVP (Lamar Jackson) enjoying a resurgent season for the top overall seed. This final four has never screamed “pick ’em” more.

What’s clear about all eight quarterbacks left in this year’s NFL playoffs is that there is no exact science to finding your franchise guy. You might select them at the top of the draft. You might use a throwaway pick at the end of the draft and get extremely lucky. Heck, you might just focus your efforts on a reclamation project because you’ve got the time and energy. There is no right or wrong answer when trying to find a good quarterback.

Whatever works to find The Man, right?

Ahead of what should be a bonkers postseason weekend, let’s take stock of the divisional-round quarterbacks left. That’s right. Let’s make a totally definitive ranking of the NFL’s cream of the crop under center.
