Allen Park, Mich. — Football wasn't a priority in Buffalo this week.
With more than six feet of snow falling in the towns south of Buffalo throughout the week, the Bills had a hectic week relocating their operation to Detroit to prepare to play a home game at a neutral site. But some members of the Buffalo Bills' staff also did what they could to help in the community.

During the snowstorm, a nurse called into radio station WBEN and said she couldn't get to an elderly couple's home to care for them. Bill Connell, a member of the Bills' operations staff, was sitting in his office when he heard the call and realized the couple was located close to One Bills Drive. That's when he decided to help.
Connell grabbed another member of the Bills' staff and brought two Skid-Steer loaders because a plow truck wasn't going to be enough. They had to move seven feet of snow from in front of the couple's home to dig them out.
While he was there, Connell went next door to assist someone with a heart condition and arthritis. Both families were very appreciative.
