Sunday’s Bills-Steelers playoff game will be rescheduled due to a winter storm, according to a statement from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul posted to Twitter.
I’ve been in communication with @NFL commissioner Roger Goodell regarding the dangerous conditions in Buffalo this weekend.
— Governor Kathy Hochul (@GovKathyHochul) January 13, 2024
In consultation with our emergency response teams, @BuffaloBills leadership, and the NFL, the Bills game will be postponed to 4:30 pm Monday.
In a separate statement the Bills wrote that the decision was “in the best interest of public safety.”
The game was originally scheduled for Sunday 1 p.m., but will now take place at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
Erie County, where the Buffalo Bills’ Highmark Stadium is located, is under a Winter Storm Warning until Monday. Between 1-3 feet of lake-effect snow is expected to hit the area, with whiteout conditions making it dangerous for people to drive.
This is the first time in seven years that the NFL has been forced to reschedule a playoff game due to inclement weather.
