Debts vs. 49ers: Video and photos from the game in Buffalo
The Buffalo Bills are used to hosting high-profile sports on the ice. Therefore, it will come as no surprise that they easily defeated the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.
As it snowed throughout the game at Highmark Stadium, the Bills downed the 49ers, 35-10. With the victory, Buffalo won its fifth straight AFC East title.
The temperature at kickoff was expected to be 27 degrees, according to Fox Weather. The Orchard Park area has a lake effect snow warning until Monday at 7 pm ET.
Over the weekend, the Bills brought hundreds of fans to help clear the ice from the stadium, just as they did during last year’s playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Those fans “worked all night,” shoveling more than 20 inches of snow, Bills VP of operations Andy Major told NBC News.
Here’s a look at the snow-covered stadium before the game.

Several players seemed undaunted by the weather up front, including 49ers tight end George Kittle and Bills tight end Dawson Knox.
On his team was Buffalo receiver Mack Hollins, who entered the field wearing a mad scientist costume and appeared to be barefoot.
