In advance of Sunday’s playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers, the NFL has taken a significant decision.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the AFC matchup that was supposed to happen on that day has been rescheduled for Monday afternoon.

The announcement follows New York’s decision to prohibit travel through Eerie County starting this Saturday night.
A representative for the NFL has since stated that there are no intentions to transfer the game to Cleveland, despite some reports to the contrary.
Travel is going to be extremely dangerous in Western New York this weekend.
We are implementing a full travel ban in Erie County starting at 9pm tonight.
