Everyone crushed Bills fans for throwing snowballs at George Pickens during a TD catch attempt

We were all well aware of the massive blizzard that leveled Western New York over the weekend. We probably should’ve been prepared for Buffalo Bills fans to take advantage of that fact a little too much once their team actually squared off with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As Pittsburgh tried (and failed) to mount a late-game rally, Mason Rudolph launched a moon ball to George Pickens in the end zone. Just before he braced himself for the catch, a video showed snowballs thrown in Pickens’ direction, seemingly trying to interfere with his catch.

Pickens didn’t make the play anyway, but this sequence was Bills fans absolutely stepping over the line:

The Bills already have a fantastic home-field advantage. Traveling to Buffalo in the middle of winter, especially after a giant snowstorm, is hard enough for any opposing team. There’s no place in the game for fans to make contact with players by actually throwing objects on the field in the middle of play.

It’s bush league, and it’s completely uncalled for.
