No solar eclipse could stop the work going on at the site of the new Buffalo Bills stadium in Orchard Park.

Earlier this week, the historic event went down across western New York. One Bills Drive included.

In prepping for the rarity, the Buffalo Bills put together a time-elapsed video showing what a darkened construction site looked like.

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was seen warming up in the snow ahead of Kansas City’s playoff matchup against the #Bills.

The Kansas City Chiefs are getting set for their matchup against the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs on Sunday evening. The highly-anticipated tilt is expected to be one of the best games on this weekend’s schedule and will decide which team has to travel to the Old Line State to face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game next week.

The NFL’s reigning MVP, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was seen warming up for Kansas City’s consequential matchup against Buffalo before kickoff, throwing passes in the snow as he prepared for action in primetime.

While the forecast in Orchard Park, New York isn’t calling for a significant amount of precipitation, the weather conditions could be something to watch if snow starts to creep in at game time.

Fans should expect the Chiefs’ decorated quarterback to put on a show against Buffalo’s defense as Kansas City endeavors to reach its sixth-consecutive AFC Championship Game.

LOOK: Chiefs stars make fashionable entrance to Highmark Stadium before playoff matchup vs. Bills

#Chiefs stars wore their most fashionable outfits as they entered Highmark Stadium ahead of Kansas City’s playoff matchup against the #Bills.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to play their first road playoff game of the Patrick Mahomes era on Sunday night, and the team’s players dressed for success as they entered Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York ahead of their matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Pre-game fashion has become a phenomenon around the NFL, especially in the hours before highly-anticipated primetime games. The league’s biggest stars become runway models on social media as they enter the locker room, often showing off the latest styles in menswear.

Sunday afternoon was no different for the Chiefs, who strutted their stuff and showed confidence before their Divisional round kickoff against Buffalo.

Reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes, clutch kicker Harrison Butker, and others could be seen making their grand entrances, sporting some high-end threads that got fans excited for the game.

Check out some of their most fashionable looks that were posted to Twitter:

Bills admonish fans about throwing snowballs ahead of matchup vs. Chiefs

#Bills fans were asked to not throw snowballs at Highmark Stadium ahead of Buffalo’s divisional playoff matchup against the #Chiefs.

The budding rivalry between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills has made for excellent football in recent matchups between the AFC powerhouses. Both teams have proven that they are legitimate championship contenders, and the atmosphere at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night is sure to be electric.

But, as snow descended over Western New York in recent weeks, fan behavior at Buffalo’s home games has been less than exemplary. The so-called “Bills Mafia” was seen throwing snowballs at Buffalo’s last game, which caused some controversy after their playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Before their Divisional round matchup against Kansas City, Bills tackle Dion Dawkins was featured in a public service announcement released on Twitter that implored fans not to throw snowballs.

It is unclear whether Bufflao’s rowdy fans will choose to take heed of Dawkins’ plea, especially given the history between the Bills and the reigning Super Bowl champions.

With so much at stake for both teams, fan interference could be a serious concern for officials ahead of this matchup. In the past, Buffalo’s fans have been warned that throwing snowballs could cause referees to assess 15-yard penalties against the Bills.

Here’s how snowy Highmark Stadium looks ahead of Bills vs. Chiefs divisional playoff matchup

This video shows a lot of snow at Highmark Stadium:

Orchard Park and Highmark Stadium are snowy once again.

The Bills host the Chiefs in the upcoming divisional round on Sunday. Ahead of the wild-card game against the Steelers on Monday, the Bills asked fans to come help shovel out the stadium if they could.

Well, they’re asking again, and for good reason.

We’ll wait and see whether there are flurries during game day. But because of the snow that’s already fallen, the team needs your help.

If you can provide some assistance and are curious what exactly you’ll be getting yourself into, check out the WIVB-TV clip below.

It might be a lot of work:

Three charged with going into site of new #Bills stadium after #Jets win:

More fans have been charged with trespassing at the new Buffalo Bills stadium that is under construction near the current Highmark Stadium.

According to Erie County Sheriff John Garcia via WIVB-TV, three individuals were charged after the Bills’ 32-6 win over the Jets on Sunday: Kyle Bauer of West Seneca and Tanner Brunet, 31, and Owen Bainbridge, 25, both of whom are from Canada.

Per the report, the trio were attempting to take a picture inside the restricted zone.

This is the second time fans have been charged with trespassing at the construction area. The first time a 29-year-old in September did the same after allegedly taking a combination of drugs and hopping the fence.
