The Kansas City Chiefs dodged some snowballs and the Buffalo Bills to emerge with a 27-24 victory in Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round showdown.

Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson called out Bills fans for throwing those snowballs after the game:

Wat’s Island🏝 @JaylenWatson12Never got hit wit so many snowballs in my life very classy GG tho🖤🎢

Video showed Patrick Mahomes in particular being pelted by snowballs from fans at Highmark Stadium as he left the field with a win:

The snowy conditions in Buffalo have been a storyline all playoffs with the Wild Card Round game against the Pittsburgh Steelers being postponed for a day and fans helping clear the stadium so the games could be played.

Now they are a storyline in the aftermath of the Chiefs’ win.

Buffalo fans surely weren’t happy with the end of the contest, as the Bills drove into field-goal range to potentially tie the game and maybe even force overtime in the final minutes. However, Tyler Bass’ 44-yard field goal sailed wide right before the Chiefs picked up a first down to ice the win.

It was another difficult loss for a Buffalo franchise that has plenty of them, but Watson wasn’t feeling much sympathy after the contest.
