New England Patriots star Mack Hollins bizarrely chose to arrive both shirtless and barefoot for Sunday’s bitterly cold game against the Buffalo Bills.
The NFL posted footage of Hollins, who typically arrives on gameday without anything on his feet, strolling into a frigid Gillette Stadium with snow falling in the background.
Between one and three inches of snow are expected to fall in Foxborough on Sunday with temperatures due to be just below freezing at the time of kick off.
But Hollins wasn’t fazed by the wintery conditions and looked locked in as he strolled from the parking lot to the locker room.
Sunday’s showdown with Josh Allen and the Bills promises to be a huge occasion with major playoff implications.
The Patriots will clinch both the AFC East title and a playoff berth with a victory, ending Buffalo’s streak of five consecutive division titles.

It is not the first time Hollins has stunned fans with his outfit planning for arriving to games.
Just two days after Halloween, he dressed up like a 1700’s-era ‘Minuteman’ – complete with a coat, black buckled shoes trousers, a satchel, and a tri-corner hat.
But the cherry on top was the powder rifle that Hollins carried into the stadium – past the security guards.
Hollins’ getup was similar to the ‘Patriots Militia’ – a group of fans who dress in Revolutionary War-era garb and fire rifles (without ammunition) in the north end zone after New England scores.
But many fans noted that Hollins was wearing shoes. The former Buffalo Bills star typically arrives on gameday without anything on his feet.
Hollins spent last season in Buffalo before moving to New England, his third AFC East team. He previously was a member of the Miami Dolphins from 2019-2021.
So far this season, Hollins is fourth on the Patriots in receiving yards (208) and tied for third in receiving touchdowns (two).
