Liverpool fans recently traveled to watch the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs - and compared the famous Anfield atmosphere to the electric crowd known as Bills Mafia.
Last month, the NFL flew three Liverpool fans to watch the Bills in action in the playoffs against the Baltimore Ravens.
This unique opportunity came about as part of an ongoing series between the Premier League and the NFL, focusing on elevating and sharing fan experiences across different sporting cultures.
While there is a different culture and way of life in Buffalo compared to Liverpool, there are plenty of similarities.
Fans of the Bills and Liverpool FC are known to be among the most passionate and die-hard in the NFL and Premier League respectively.

The group of Reds watched the Bills take on the Ravens in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs.
Buffalo took advantage of several Baltimore offensive mishaps to secure the 27-25 win at a snowy Highmark Stadium.
The fans packed inside the stadium loudly cheered the Bills to victory despite the icy temperatures, creating a palpable atmosphere comparable to the Kop.
