The Steelers vs. Bills playoff game was rescheduled for Monday due to the risk of severe winter weather.

NEW YORK, BUFFALO (AP) — The Buffalo Bills’ wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was scheduled for Sunday, but the NFL on Saturday decided to move it to Monday due to the possibility of a dangerous winter storm hitting the Buffalo area over the weekend.

Public safety concerns were the reason given by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the NFL for the postponement, since up to two feet of snow are expected to fall on the Buffalo region over the course of more than twenty-four hours on Saturday.

“As the region gets ready for the storm, the NFL and the Buffalo Bills decided to move the game to Monday in consultation with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul in the best interest of public safety,” the NFL and Bills said in a joint statement.

Hochul said that because of what she described as a “dangerous storm,” she began speaking with the NFL on Thursday about the possibility of having to reschedule the game. “Go, Bills,” Hochul, a native of a small town outside of Buffalo, uttered as she concluded her press conference.
