Bills-Steelers weather report: Buffalo in danger of losing home-field advantage for Wildcard Round game

The Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers will do battle in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, but they won't just be fighting against each other, they'll also be fighting the elements.

Freezing temperatures have seen people question whether or not the Kansas City Chiefs/Miami Dolphins game should go ahead (it will).

Now, with cold temperatures hitting New York for the Bills/Steelers game, Josh Allen and his team could have the edge over Mason Rudolph and Pittsburgh.

But what if the game was moved due to the weather?

What is the weather like on Sunday at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York?

In short, cold. Very cold. As is the norm at this time of the year in New York, the temperature plummets and is usually followed by snow.

Per democratandchronicle.com, at game time, the temperature is expected to be 25 degrees, while there is also a 70 percent chance of rain. There is also a chance of 3.5 inches of snow and wind gusts up to 41 mph, so it is not ideal.

The game could get moved per KDKA radio host Marty Griffin if a state of emergency is declared in Western New York and Cleveland's Stadium could be a possible destination.

So, it will be a cold one in Buffalo, but there are contingencies in place if things get worse. But it sure looks like freezing temperatures will play a role in multiple playoff games this weekend.

#Update: As per reports, seven inches of snow is expected to be present at the Highmark Stadium on Sunday. The Bills have already asked their fans to help clear the snow from the stadium as the city prepares for the game in very cold conditions.

Whether the game will be played at the Highmark Stadium remains to be seen, things could get certainly interesting since there could be a blizzard. The city is really getting affected by the cold winds from Lake Erie and that will make tough for the players and fans in giving their best.
