Eccentric Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins did a lot more than just walk into a stadium barefoot again Sunday ahead of the AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hollins appeared at Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium in a full “animal” costume, a beloved Muppet character, and including a big red head.
Hollins also wore a red and yellow top shirt and beige animal cuts.

They may be Chiefs colors, but Animal is known for being wild and unpredictable when playing for the fictional band “Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.”
Maybe that’s the kind of mentality that Hollins has going into enemy territory, wanting to be an animal to help his bills reach the Super Bowl.

Hollins has attracted attention by showing up in cold, freezing temperatures on game day without shoes or socks.
He is a big proponent of “grounding,” also known as earthing, where you walk in bare feet to connect to the natural electrical charge of the planet. Provides a therapeutic release for many.
Hollins also has a growing social presence, especially on Tiktok, where she shares home tips, fun science projects for kids, and more.

But Hollins’ main focus is making this latest chapter of the Bills-Chiefs rivalry a happy ending for his team.
The Chiefs head to their home field advantage as the favorites to reach the Super Bowl for the third consecutive season, hoping to become the first team in league history to win three consecutive Vince Lombardi trophies.
Meanwhile, Josh Allen and the Bills want to finally get their shot at the Super Bowl, which would be the first time Buffalo has reached the “big game” in 31 years.
Allen is one to spray the ball around the field, and Khalil Shakir is often the security blanket for him in the passing game. However, Hollins provides a big-bodied presence, especially in the red zone.
