CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. -- It's been 18 years since the Bills made the playoffs, and a little frigid weather wasn't going to keep Buffalo from celebrating.
With the temperature at 2 degrees, fans ditched their New Year's Eve plans to welcome the postseason-bound Bills at Buffalo Niagara International Airport early Monday morning. Buffalo ended the longest active playoff drought in U.S. pro sports Sunday after winning at Miami.
"Buffalo wouldn't be Buffalo if it wasn't for people coming out here in weather like this," said Kyle Bower, a Bills fan who happened to be visiting from West Palm Beach, Florida.
