The Buffalo Bills clinched a playoff berth on Sunday Night Football and were greeted by their fans after arriving home after 2 a.m.
It’s hard to find a more passionate fan base than the mafia that follows the Buffalo Bills. After winning their Sunday Night Football contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team was reminded just how much they are loved by their crazed fans.
The huge defensive-battle against Pittsburgh finished around 11:30 p.m. and then the team flew back to Western New York after stopping for their obligatory media sessions.
It was after 2:00 a.m. when their flight finally did make it back to Buffalo and the Bills were greeted by many of those passionate fans who were cheering loudly for the team that just clinched a spot in the playoffs.
The 25-degree weather didn’t stop them from showing their appreciation for the team that is now 10-4 with just two games to play. And quarterback Josh Allen appreciated the love as he stopped to take a selfie with the fans and then thanked them on his Twitter account.
Unreal, Bills Mafia, Thank You! https://t.co/I3URxYAFKY

Buffalo won the game 17-10 thanks in large part to the four interceptions their defense had. Two of those came from Tre’Davious White — his second of which set the Bills up for a game-tying field goal in the fourth quarter.
On their very next possession, the Bills scored on a 14-yard pass from Allen to Tyler Kroft which proved to be the game-winner.
In Week 16, the Bills will be playing the New England Patriots who are 11-3. They still have a shot at the AFC East which makes their upcoming game a big one.
The good news, for now, is that the final two games won’t have as much pressure on them now as they could have. Buffalo is in the playoffs and the Bills Mafia is ready to show up and support them wherever they have to go.
