ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Snow was expected to be a factor in the Buffalo Bills' game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night, but it had an impact in a more unexpected way during the first half.
A warning had to be issued from the referees for fans to stop throwing snowballs onto the field.
With a Lake Effect Snow Warning in place for the weekend, at least seven inches of snow fell in Orchard Park prior to Saturday's game. Hours before the game, crews went to work clearing the field at Highmark Stadium, leaving it free of almost any evidence that it had snowed.
