The NFL was scheduled to have three playoff games on Sunday, beginning with the Pittsburgh Steelers facing the Buffalo Bills on the road in Orchard Park. That game was originally scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. on CBS.
With extreme winter weather conditions expected starting Saturday night, the game has been rescheduled.
It will be played Monday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET.
I’ve been in communication with @NFL commissioner Roger Goodell regarding the dangerous conditions in Buffalo this weekend.
In consultation with our emergency response teams, @BuffaloBills leadership, and the NFL, the Bills game will be postponed to 4:30 pm Monday.

Additionally, there will be a travel ban in effect in Erie County in western New York beginning 9 p.m. Saturday night.
So instead of two Saturday games, three Sunday games and a single wild card game on Monday, there will be two each day.
The first game each day is at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Football fans have a little extra time to sleep or get other things done on Sunday now, if they like.
