ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — A winter storm forecast for northwest New York on Sunday is forcing the postponement of the AFC wild card game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills.
The wild card game was originally scheduled to take place at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY.
The game will now take place on Monday, January 14 at 4:30 p.m. and will air on WTOL 11.
The CBS NFL pre-game show is scheduled to air from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
For those who will want to watch the newscasts on Monday evening, WTOL 11 news at 4 pm., WTOL 11 news at 5 p.m., and WTOL news at 6 p.m. will be shown on our free WTOL 11+ app, available on Roku and FireTV, as well as WTOL 11’s YouTube channel.
Those tuning into WTOL 11 on Sunday will see a rebroadcast of last year’s AFC championship game between Kansas City and Cincinnati.
A major snow storm with potentially life-threatening blizzard conditions is expect to hit the Buffalo area starting on Saturday evening.
The Buffalo Bills issued this statement about the game.
Due to public safety concerns in light of the ongoing weather emergency in western New York, Sunday's Steelers-Bills game has been rescheduled to Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET and will be televised by CBS. The decision to move the game to Monday was made in consultation with New York Governor Kathy Hochul in the best interest of public safety and with the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the region prepares for the storm.
