The Buffalo Bills are asking Bills Mafia for a helping hand ... literally.
The Bills are seeking help shoveling snow in Highmark Stadium ahead of Buffalo's wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Orchard Park, New York, where seven to 11 inches of new snow is forecast on Saturday night.
“Be part of the team to get the venue ready for the hometown Bills Wildcard Playoff game vs. the Steelers!” the franchise wrote on Friday. "Shovelers can shovel snow throughout the night on Saturday into Sunday morning if needed."
The weather is forecast to be 24 degrees at kickoff at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, with winds of 26 to 30 mph and gusts up to 44 mph. A Winter Storm Warning advisory is in effect in the area from Saturday though Monday, with the National Weather Service citing blizzard conditions and widespread blowing snow.
The Bills are seeking help from 10 p.m. ET on Saturday into Sunday morning. Helpers will be compensated $20 an hour, with complimentary food and breaks provided out of the cold, 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.
