The NFL weather report for Bills vs. 49ers has been a topic for a few days, and it will continue to be that way as we are still hours away from both teams taking the field on Sunday Night Football.

Snow has been falling in Buffalo since Saturday and has not stopped.

It has been less than one year since the Bills had their wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was postponed due to blizzard conditions.

The amount of snow that has fallen had people thinking that the same could take place with today’s game.

The expectation for Sunday is that the Bills vs. 49ers game will be held as scheduled despite the potential blizzard conditions. The NFL does not appear to be considering any sort of rescheduling or any other changes at the moment.

 

A January Wild Card matchup between Buffalo and Pittsburgh Steelers was delayed by one day last season due to driving bans during a storm. Two years ago, a home game against the Cleveland Browns had to be played in Detroit instead.

The Bills And 49ers Desperately Need To Win Amid Snowstorm

The National Weather Service extended its “lake effect snow warning” in Buffalo through Monday, as there is a potential for 2-3 feet of additional snow accumulation in the area.

The Bills are scheduled to host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football in a game that matters greatly to both squads.

Buffalo is 9-2 and would already clinch their fifth straight AFC East title with a win, while the 49ers are fighting for their playoff lives.

The Bills also need to keep pace with the Chiefs for the top spot in the AFC, while San Francisco needs to squeak out some wins to still win its division.
