God forbid the Steelers and Bills just play on a snowy football field.

Instead of leaving snow on the field Sunday at New Era Field in Buffalo, the grounds crew plowed at halftime. The only problem: the plows dug up an insane amount of black rubber pellets and caused a delay while the field was cleared of the excess rubber, which sits in the artificial turf to soften the surface. It should be noted that the rubber pellets aren’t exactly the safest, either.
