The weather forecast for Sunday in Buffalo was pretty wild — there are serious snow and wind gusts, enough that people questioned if the NFL would move the game to a different location, while the Bills called for folks to dig out the stadium for $20 an hour.
Well, the location didn’t move. But the date did: New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced the game will be postponed to Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET. In addition, she said there would be a full travel ban in Erie County on Saturday night at 9 p.m.
That should tell you everything you need to know — it’s dangerous out there.
I’ve been in communication with @NFL commissioner Roger Goodell regarding the dangerous conditions in Buffalo this weekend.
In consultation with our emergency response teams, @BuffaloBills leadership, and the NFL, the Bills game will be postponed to 4:30 pm Monday.
