Despite rumours suggesting that the game was set to be postponed to Tuesday or even as late as Wednesday, the game between the Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers will finally take place on Monday night with a 4:30 (pm) ET start after the home team called for volunteers to assist in a snow clearance operation.
Should the Bills win then they will be at home to face the defending champions, Kansas City Chiefs, next Sunday. If on the other hand, it’s the Pittsburgh Steelers who emerge victorious, then they will face the the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday.
