The Buffalo Bills' celebrated the spooky season a bit differently this year, as Jordan Poyer and his wife, Rachel Bush, took over hosting duties for the team's annual Halloween bash. 

The festive event is typically hosted by Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, every year in October. However this year, Steinfeld had a work commitment that kept her from her usual hosting duties. 

Truly making the event their own, the Bills safety and his wife went with a Wild West theme, even giving it a fitting name - the "Poyer's Saloon." 

The party featured an open bar with chocolate jello shots, Yeehaw Old Fashioned, and mini liquor bottles topped with cowboy hats. 

It also had a prize table offering the winners a Bills-colored Louis Vuitton bag, Dolce & Gabbana leather gloves, and a private chef experience, among other luxury items.

Jordan Poyer's wife wanted the party to have an 'authentic western feel' 

"The party took over a month to plan," Bush told "People."

"It comes down to all the little details that make it perfect. Props and decor — like gold coins, dynamite and cigars — give the party that authentic western feel," she added. 

Bush added tons of cowboy-themed details to the western-style event, including a mechanical bull, wine barrels, hay bales, and dozens of old fashioned "Wanted" posters, featuring Poyer's teammates. 

In true Halloween fashion, one of the best parts of the night was the NFL players, who showed up in their most creative costumes. 

In one photo shared with "People," Josh Allen, Mitch Trubisky, Khalil Shakir, and Terrel Bernard posed together in a photo booth dressed as cast members from "Peaky Blinders," "The Matrix," "Despicable Me," and "Scream." 

The couple costumes were just as impressive.

DeWayne Carter and his wife, Amanda, nailed their Shrek and Fiona outfits, as well as tight end Dawson Knox, and his pregnant wife, Alex, who dressed as the "Toy Story" characters Woody and Bo Peep.
