Bills Mafia never fails to be the most impressive fanbase in football.
The Buffalo faithful are amongst the most passionate in all of sports and give everything they have for their team at every opportunity.Even after a crushing playoff loss.
On Sunday night, the Bills fell victim to the NFL’s overtime rules and were eliminated from the playoffs. The game itself could not have been any better, with 35 points being scored in the final two minutes, but the result was disappointing for the visitors.
Despite the loss, and despite the fact that temperatures dipped down close to zero degrees, the Mafia was out in full force. Buffalo fans lined up outside of the airport to welcome their team home from Kansas City.
The first group arrived at about 11:00pm EST.
And then the crowd continued to grow.

Meanwhile, the Mafia was thrilled to welcome them home and let them know how proud they were for the effort even in defeat.
Fans finally dispersed just after 3:30am EST and they were proud to hold their heads high.
Bills Mafia is truly unlike any other fanbase. They are the best. After losing in the playoffs, they waited upwards of four hours in sub-freezing temperatures to cheer their team as they returned back to Buffalo. Remarkable.
