Extreme weather: Chairs sink into snow during NFL playoffs

Anyone who thinks the NFL has seen everything since its founding in 1922 was proven wrong last weekend. For the first time in NFL history, a playoff game was postponed by one day. Which means that the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers will inadvertently go down in the history books.

The two teams were originally scheduled to play in Buffalo last Sunday for a spot in the quarterfinals. But heavy snowfall made it impossible to go ahead with the event. Especially since the field at Highmark Stadium had become unplayable overnight.

Fans can no longer find a seat

The fan base, which heeded the Bills’ call, could do nothing to change that: “Snow shovelers can shovel snow all night from Saturday to Sunday morning if necessary. The hourly wage is $20. Free meals and breaks will be provided during services in a comfortable, warm space,” officials said.

The duel finally takes place at least a day later. But also this time under special conditions. All you have to do is take a look at the spectator stands, where the seats disappear under knee-high snow. To spare fans the tedious search for the right seat, the Bills decided in advance not to match the tickets to the seats – another first.

There are no surprises on the field afterwards. There the Bills confidently defeated the Steelers 31:17. And will now take on the title favorites Kansas City Chiefs at home on January 22. (Gentlemen)
