Steelers - Bills playoff game delayed: Everything you need to know after snow pushed it off Sunday
Here's what we know about the Wild Card game in Buffalo getting delayed.
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.

Travel is going to be extremely dangerous in Western New York this weekend.
We are implementing a full travel ban in Erie County starting at 9pm tonight.

So now what?
Here’s what you need to know: The game is on Monday at 4:30 p.m. It’ll be on CBS. And bets that were made on the game (there was a lot of buzz about the dropping over/under)? Check with your sportsbook.
There you have it.
