Bills clinch AFC East, eager to 'play free' while chasing 1-seed

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Just as the game between the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers was set to kick off, snow descended on the stadium. The amount of snow -- which continued throughout the night -- was unexpected after a storm hit the region over the weekend.

The game ended with Bills coach Sean McDermott challenging his quarterback Josh Allen to do snow angels on the field with him -- after McDermott promised tight end Zach Davidson at halftime he would if Buffalo won -- as the team celebrated the victory and with it a fifth straight AFC East title.
