Even for a team from California, the San Francisco 49ers could hardly have looked any worse in the snow on Sunday during their 35-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The slick surface in Orchard Park, N.Y. caused problems for players on both sides of the ball. Defensive lineman slipped as they tried to get out of their pre-snap stance. Receivers slipped trying to run their routes. It even affected the ball itself, with the 49ers giving up costly fumbles on account of the cold weather.
The incidents happened so frequently that NBC put together a compilation of all the times the snow impacted players when they were trying to move or hold onto the football.
