In a post on the team’s official website, the Bills stated that they’re offering $20 an hour to fans who will help shovel at Highmark Stadium before the game starts. They’re asking fans to show up and start at 10 p.m. local time, with free food being provided.
The forecast is calling for freezing temperatures with snow and high winds. The Bills aren’t strangers to this, of course, as they played in the snow in last year’s AFC Divisional Round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Most Steelers players themselves might not be used to playing in the snow, but Pittsburgh isn’t exactly warm during the winters, either. So the freezing conditions might not affect either the Bills or Steelers as badly compared to other teams.
The Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins in Week 18 to clinch a fourth straight AFC East division crown. Josh Allen and company won their final five games to finish 11-6 and take the No. 2 seed, setting up a rare playoff showdown against the Steelers.
Pittsburgh rallied off three straight wins to close out the year and finish 10-7. The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Week 18 road loss to the Tennessee Titans was all the help Pittsburgh needed to sneak in as a wild card team.
