With two to three feet of snow predicted for Sunday night’s Week 13 game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Buffalo Bills are expected to welcome another catastrophic winter storm.
Snowplows encircled Highmark Stadium on Friday, ten months after the team’s playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was postponed due to blizzard conditions. The team also started looking for volunteers to assist with snow removal.
Travel may be hazardous as the National Weather Service predicts snowy conditions from Saturday through Monday. A variety of weather conditions can be produced by lake-effect snow.
The Niners’ situation is going to become ugly
The San Francisco 49ers, who struggle offensively and are not accustomed to playing in this type of weather, will face many challenges. The starting quarterback may not be available for the team.
Due to Brock Purdy‘s poor health, the squad may be forced to rely more on their running game, which may make them one-dimensional. Despite being at home, Buffalo will also attempt to overcome those conditions.

At a press conference, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz stated, “This is going to be concerning for people trying to get to the football game,” according to Spectrum News. Come Sunday, it will be much more than football weather.
