Von Miller mentioned, “Lake Erie just dumped on us. Snow after snow after snow for a whole 24 hours. I was kind of skeptical at first. I was kind of thinking, ‘Man, it might not snow like that. It might, they might just do a little something.’ But huge snowflakes, non-stop, 24 hours. Man, it was crazy man. Looking for me, my son was here. I live right next door to coach McDermott. We had plenty of food, but that wasn’t the case for everybody. So I just want to say thank you to Orchard Park. Thank You to Bills Mafia. You guys are incredible.”

Von Miller and the Bills safely made their way to Detroit and pulled a victory over the Browns, 31-23.
