This Saturday it's Bills versus Patriots. It's a headed rivalry for the Bills Mafia. These games always have fans feeling tense. But this year, it's different - maybe it's the holidays or the playoffs just weeks away. Either way, fans are flocking to the mall for Bills gear.

Fans bought gifts for friends and family, and for themselves.
