The Bills were scheduled to host Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs Sunday, but the game was postponed because of a blizzard. For $20 an hour, fans spent Monday morning clearing out snow.

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. The Buffalo Bills were supposed to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the pro football playoffs Sunday, but the game was pushed to the next day after more than 2 feet of snow fell. To get the stadium ready, the Bills called in their fans. For $20 an hour, plus a free breakfast, the Bills faithful spent yesterday morning clearing the snow out of the stadium. Their hard work was rewarded as the Bills won the game 31-17. It's MORNING EDITION.
