The Buffalo Bills are on the road for a Week 16 matchup with the Chicago Bears. The Bills (11-3) left for Chicago (3-11) early because of the weather. They originally had planned to leave Friday but did so Thursday.
Now they have to figure out how they’ll get home as well.
Because of the blizzard in western New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that Buffalo-Niagara International Airport is closed until Monday at 11 a.m.
In most cases, a team leaves a city immediately after a contest, even at night. Considering the Bills and Bears kicked off at 1 p.m., the plan was likely to get home on Saturday evening.
The Bills will have to decide between spending Christmas in Chicago or taking a flight to Rochester, where the airport there is open. However, there is a storm-related ban on driving in western New York, so the team has some decisions to make.
