The Buffalo Bills' home playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Highmark Stadium has been postponed due to dangerous weather conditions.
The game, originally scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, is now set to be played on Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
"Due to public safety concerns in light of the ongoing weather emergency in western New York, Sunday's Steelers-Bills game has been rescheduled to Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET and will be televised by CBS," the Bills posted on X.
"The decision to move the game to Monday was made in consultation with New York Governor Kathy Hochul in the best interest of public safety, and with the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the region prepares for the storm."
According to the National Weather Service, 6 to 10 inches of snow is possible in the Orchard Park area on Saturday night, with winds over 30 miles per hour and gusts as high as 60 mph that could create blizzard-like conditions. Snow, and a chance of snow showers, is likely to continue through Sunday morning.
