The Bills and Steelers may have to wait even longer to contest their NFL playoff game, with Buffalo’s travel ban set to remain in effect through Sunday.
The Wild Card Round Match, originally scheduled to continue Sunday at 1:00 PM EST, had already been postponed and moved to Monday due to the dangerous snowstorm currently wreaking havoc in Buffalo.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for much of Western New York earlier this week, including Orchard Park, where the Bills play their home games. On Saturday, Governor Kathy Hochul then confirmed that the showdown with the Steelers would be postponed after a state of emergency was declared.
And with snowstorms expected to hit Buffalo throughout Sunday, fears are growing that Buffalo’s playoff against Pittsburgh could be postponed for a second time.

Fears are growing that it could be moved again with Highmark Stadium still covered in snow
Highmark Stadium remains covered in deep snow after the Bills ordered shovelers to adhere to Buffalo’s travel restrictions and leave the arena for the time being. They were initially expected to arrive on Saturday evening, followed by Sunday morning.
Buffalo crews could therefore face a race against time to clear the snow Monday afternoon, especially if the snowstorm shows no signs of slowing down overnight.
After their playoff game was suspended this weekend, Bills offensive lineman Alec Anderson was seen coming to the aid of a driver who was stranded as heavy snow continued to fall in Buffalo on Sunday morning.
Teammate Ryan Van Demark shared a clip to his Instagram Story of Anderson, who joined the Bills in 2022, after attaching a cable to the driver’s tire to get their vehicle moving again.
“Good Samaritan Alec,” Van Demark said in the video as his fellow Bills star braved the cold to help the driver. ‘Helping the people.’

The Bills shared a video of Highmark Stadium covered in snow and buffeted by lake winds on Saturday night.
The white conditions made it impossible to see anything in vivid detail, with the exception of a few vehicles and the uprights.
Buffalo is forecast to get snow all week, with the only real break in precipitation coming on Monday afternoon – right around the time the game is scheduled to be played.
