Ex-Notre Dame football star squares off with Buffalo Bills fans
Former Notre Dame football player Drue Tranquill got into it a little bit with Buffalo Bills fans on Sunday night, not long after his Kansas City Chiefs toppled the Bills in the AFC playoffs.
Tranquill, who is certainly no stranger to playing in the cold, despite spending most of his pro career in San Diego did not take kindly to Bills fans pelting Chiefs players with snowballs late in the playoff game.
Things started to get heated despite the freezing temperatures on Sunday night when fellow Chief Chris Jones began celebrating his team's win. Fans. close to the field weren't happy about his happy dance and started throwing snowballs at the Kansas City sideline.
At one point, cameras caught Tranquill looking quite angry, atttempt to catch a snowball in mid air, and fire it back into the stands. As the formrer Notre Dame football player said himself, fans were lucky the snowball broke apart when it hit his hands.
"I caught the snowball," Tranquill wrote on Twitter. "If it didn’t break in my hand, it was getting launched right back at him."
While Tranquill was certainly not happy about how Bills fans were handling a heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs, he found a way to eventually take the situation and turn it into a rather sick burn.
"We’d beat them in a snowball fight too," the linebacker continued in his post. "Truth is, my four year old throws a meaner snowball than #BillsMafia."
