Buffalo Bills' Playoff Schedule Threatened by Forecasted Snowstorm

The team faces a potential disruption to their playoff schedule due to another forecasted lake-effect snowstorm, following a similar storm last weekend that led to the delay of their wild-card game against Pittsburgh.

  • Another lake-effect snowstorm is forecast to hit the Buffalo region, potentially disrupting the Buffalo Bills' playoff schedule. The team is currently scheduled to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, and host the Kansas City Chiefs in an AFC divisional round game on Sunday night.
  • A travel advisory is currently in place for Erie County, and it's too early to determine whether officials would impose a travel ban, which could prevent Bills players from driving to their facility.
  • The region was hit by a lake-effect storm last weekend, which led to the delay of the Bills' wild-card playoff game against Pittsburgh from Sunday to Monday. This has resulted in a short week of practice for the Bills, while the Chiefs are rested after a win over Miami on Saturday night.
  • During the Bills' wild-card playoff game against Pittsburgh, there were no assigned seats due to the snow. This decision by the NFL has sparked an uproar, with many demanding that ticket holders be reimbursed.
  • The Bills offered fans $20 per hour to shovel snow at Highmark Stadium overnight Sunday into Monday morning, with those who signed on to do so exempt from the travel ban. The field was cleared by Monday morning, while piles of snow still filled the stands.
