As the weather forecast looks fierce in New York, the matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills could be on the move. As they did in 2014, the NFL is discussing the possibility of moving the Browns vs. Bills to Detroit should the weather turn for the worst in Buffalo.
With the Bills set to play on Thanksgiving day, and with both teams already burning their bye week, the NFL does not have an option but to get this game played this week. Playing in the snow would give the Browns an advantage given the strength of their run game and the lack of a rushing attack the Bills possess. Playing in a dome, however, puts the ball back in the Bills’ court.
This will be a situation to monitor closely.
Forecasts calling for snow totals of 3-to-6 feet by Sunday in Buffalo, including possible “thundersnow.” Last time snow forced NFL to move a game out of Buffalo was 2014, when Jets and Bills played that Monday night in Detroit. NFL monitoring storm, talking to Bills and Browns.
