Yahoo Sports See it: Buffalo Bills lash San Francisco 49ers in epic snow game after 2 feet buried Highmark Stadium
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Highmark Stadium transformed into a winter wonderland Sunday night as the Buffalo Bills hosted the San Francisco 49ers in an epic Nfl showdown in the snow.
The stadium in western New York was pummeled by heavy snow Saturday and Sunday when more than 2 feet of snow buried Orchard Park.
The Bills, accustomed to the frigid conditions, thrived in their snowy home stadium. The California-based 49ers, on the other hand, struggled to adapt to the harsh weather.
Weather observers in Orchard Park measured a winter storm total of 26.2 inches as of late Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service.
The Bills even shared photos on X on Saturday night showing scenes of their buried stadium about 24 hours before Sunday night's kickoff.
After clinching their fifth consecutive AFC East title, Bills quarterback Josh Allen and head coach Sean McDermott celebrated by making snow angels.

Before the game, Highmark Stadium was buried under the 2-plus feet of lake-effect snow as snow-removal crews worked to clear the stadium in western New York. In anticipation of the harsh winter weather, the Bills had already called for volunteer snow shovelers earlier in the week.
A Lake-Effect Snow Warning was issued for the region until Monday morning, the National Weather Service said.
