Steelers land safely in Buffalo ahead of Monday’s game

The Steelers made it to Buffalo after a postponement.

After delays and a postponement, the Pittsburgh Steelers have finally arrived in Buffalo ahead of Monday’s game against the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. This game was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday afternoon but was moved due to the winter storm the area got.

It doesn’t sound as if the weather will be significantly better on Monday afternoon other than less wind. This alone could be enough to swing the advantage toward the Bills and quarterback Josh Allen.

If the Bills win on Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Buffalo for the next round of the playoffs while the Houston Texans would travel to Baltimore and take on the Ravens. If the Steelers win, they would take on the Ravens on the road and the Texans would go to Kansas City and battle the Chiefs.

Update: According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Pittsburgh Steelers landed safely in Buffalo. 

While the good people of Buffalo are concerned about how a game will take place in a town that’s been pummeled with over a foot of snow, the Pittsburgh Steelers had to be concerned about getting there.

That process began around 3 p.m. Upon their arrival, Mayor Byron Brown said the Steelers will have the support of officials to arrive safely at their hotel and tomorrow’s game.

Orchard Park has been blasted with four to six inches of snow per hour over the last 24 hours. Snow could lessen in the overnight hours to one to three inches per hour.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a press conference that in-game wind chill temperatures could be near zero degrees, but weather conditions should no longer be life-threatening.

“I’m not saying it’s going to be pleasant, but conditions won’t be life-threatening,” Hochul said.
