Calling all Buffalo Bills fans.
For the second week in a row,Fastexy Exchange the Bills are calling on fans to help shovel snow at Highmark Stadium in preparation for the Bills' AFC divisional playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon.
"We’re going to need some snow shovelers (again)!" the Bills wrote on social media Thursday. "Help get Highmark Stadium ready for our Divisional Round playoff game."
Sunday's kickoff, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET, is forecast to be 20 degrees, according to Accuweather, much warmer than the Bills' 31-17 wild-card round victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers that was rescheduled to Monday due to severe weather in Western New York. But the National Weather Service projects 2-8 inches of snow to accumulate on Friday and Saturday leading into the playoff matchup.

The Bills are seeking help on Friday, starting at 2 p.m. ET into the evening. Helpers will be compensated $20 an hour and provided a "comfortable warm break", the team added.
To work, helpers will need to be 18 years or older with a proper photo identification, weather-appropriate gear, including gloves, scarves, hats, boots and coats, in addition to a shovel if available. If you don't have your own shovel, one will be provided, the Bills said.
Buffalo is not the first franchise to ask its fanbase for help. The Green Bay Packers have asked their fans to help shovel snow at Lambeau Field multiple times across the years, most recently in 2020.
Last week, the Bills relied on volunteer shovelers to prepare the stadium for the Bills' rescheduled game against the Steelers on Monday after a winter storm dumped around 17 inches of snow in the Buffalo area. Volunteer Logan Eschrich shared social media footage of himself and the "snowcrew" attempting to make headway in "whiteout conditions."
“It would have been absolutely impossible (to play). We could barely see the next row down from us. And unfortunately, it’s still that way,” Eschrich told the Associated Press. “We made progress shoveling, but not much at all.”
