WATCH: It's raining snowballs in Dolphins vs Bills game and Miami isn't happy

The game between the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills was momentarily stopped due to fans throwing snowballs on the field.

After more than a quarter of play with many fans throwing snowballs from the stands, the referees decided that it was enough. They warned the fans of the Bills, the home team, that a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct would be awarded to the Dolphins if they kept throwing things on the field.

The concerns regarding the weather for the game between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills came true as the stadium was found covered with a thick sheet of snow.
