A shirtless Buffalo Bills fan was seen sliding through the snow at Highmark Stadium on Sunday after volunteering to clear the field ahead of their rescheduled playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Wild Card Round Match, originally scheduled to continue Sunday at 1:00 PM EST, was postponed over the weekend and moved to Monday due to the dangerous snowstorm currently wreaking havoc in Buffalo.
As fears grew that the game would be postponed again due to a travel ban in Buffalo, the Bills called on supporters who live near Orchard Park to help clear the snow field before Monday’s game, even offering them $20 per hour to do that.
And in an incredible clip circulating on social media, a fan appeared to be having a great time as he did his bit at Highmark Stadium.

The man in question can be seen sliding down a snowplow running through the stands – which appears to be set up to shovel snow down from the top of the stadium – without wearing a shirt, despite the snowstorms in Buffalo.
At the start of the video, the brave supporter is wearing a hat, but loses it as he throws himself onto the slide.
He then pulls himself down with both arms and even waves a T-shirt over his head in joy as his icy ride comes to an end.
Fans were quick to praise the supporter for his dedication to the cause, with one person writing on X: “As a Steelers fan…I love this man!”
Another said: ‘This. Here. Is. Gold.’
A third commented: “Bills mafia is built differently lol.”
“Because we love our team,” wrote a fourth. “Kudos to these guys. I just came in from outside, it’s brutal out there.”
While one said: ‘I hope they get free tickets to the match’.

The Bills and Steelers may have to wait even longer to contest their NFL playoff game, with Buffalo’s travel ban set to remain in effect through Sunday.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for much of Western New York earlier this week, including Orchard Park, where the Bills play their home games. On Saturday, Governor Kathy Hochul then confirmed that the showdown with the Steelers would be postponed after a state of emergency was declared.
And with snowstorms expected to hit Buffalo throughout Sunday, there are fears the playoff game could be postponed for a second time.
Shovelers have also been ordered by the Bills to adhere to Buffalo’s travel restrictions and avoid the arena for the time being, meaning Highmark Stadium will likely have to be cleared of snow in the last few hours before Monday’s game.
After their playoff game was suspended this weekend, Bills offensive lineman Alec Anderson was seen coming to the aid of a driver who was stranded as heavy snow continued to fall in Buffalo on Sunday morning.
