Bills Mafia spent most of their team's game against the Dolphins waiting for the snow to fall inside Highmark Stadium. For the first three quarters, it didn't look like it was ever going to arrive.

But after the Bills scored a game-tying touchdown and 2-point conversion with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, the skies opened up.

Lake-effect snow started falling fast and furious, adding an element to the game.

Ultimately, the Bills proved better in the conditions and were able to earn a 32-29 victory on a 25-yard Tyler Bass field goal as time expired.

Bass' kick was clutch, but it wasn't the only great moment of the fourth quarter. Another came at the two-minute warning, as Bills fans celebrated what Buffalo's eventual game-winning drive with a timely Christmas carol.

Bills Mafia broke into a chorus of "Let It Snow" as the white stuff bombarded the stadium. The NFL Network broadcast captured it as it stayed live during what is sometimes a commercial break.

It wasn't the first time Bills fans had broken into song during the game. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was being sung earlier in the contest.

The rendition of "Let It Snow" was universally loved by NFL fans and notable media analysts, who expressed their pleasure with the enthusiasm of Bills Mafia during the cold-weather game.

The celebration was a lot different than what fans were doing earlier in the game. The officials had to stop play at one point as Buffalo fans pelted the field — and the Dolphins' sideline — with snowballs.

The only question now is whether Buffalo's rendition of "Let It Snow" was better than German fans' rendition of "Country Roads" at the Seahawks-Buccaneers game in Munich in November.
