- New York governor says wildcard game moved to Monday
- Forecast of dangerous winter weather prompted change
The Buffalo Bills’ wildcard playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers that was scheduled for Sunday was moved to Monday amid a forecast for dangerous winter weather, New York governor Kathy Hochul announced Saturday.
Hochul and other officials said they were making the change for safety’s sake. “We want our Bills to win, but we don’t want 60,000 to 70,000 people traveling to the football game in what’s going to be horrible conditions,” Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz said at a news conference in suburban Buffalo.
