- A massive snowstorm in Buffalo has caused the NFL to move Sunday's Bills and Browns game to Detroit.
- On Friday, the Bills shared photos of Highmark Stadium buried in snow.
Buffalo Bills fans are suffering again — this time because a snowstorm buried Highmark Stadium and forced the team to change the location of Sunday's game.
On Thursday, the New York-based NFL team announced its game against the Cleveland Browns would move to Detroit due to a lake-effect snowstorm forecast, local news reports.
By the next day, Highmark Stadium was buried in a thick blanket of snow. The team took to social media to share evidence of the storm, and their fans — known as the Bills Mafia — weren't pleased.

In addition to the field, stadium seats were piled high with snow as more continued to fall. According to the local report, the area had 36 inches of snow as of 10 a.m. Friday.
The team also canceled Thursday's practice, according to a tweet from its official account.
NFL fans didn't take news of a game relocation so well. They responded on social media urging the team to reconsider.
"This is considered very light snow in new england, we've never had to move a game cuz of snow yall bills so scary," one user tweeted.
While some complained about the change, Buffalo residents, not unaccustomed to snow, found humor in the situation and jumped into to action.

In preparation for Sunday's game, some seriously dedicated fans went so far as to clear the driveways of Bills' players to ensure they made it to the airport, tight end Quintin Morris and offensive tackle Spencer Brown shared.
The Bills are known for their diehard supporters. In October, linebacker Von Miller was welcomed to the team by the Bills Mafia with a gift of quality toilet paper to use at training camp.
The Bills and the Browns go head-to-head at Detroit's Ford Field at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
