The Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers Super Wild Card Weekend game is a definite “go” for Monday at 1:30 p.m. EST.

Per ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg, Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz confirmed that the game at Highmark Stadium will be held tomorrow. The game was previously scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Sunday, but it was moved back a day because of the severe winter storm.

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz: "The game will be held" tomorrow. He does mention that they may not be able to get snow out of some parking lots, so parking spots will be reduced and he strongly recommends trying to carpool to the game.

Per Getzenberg, New York State Gov. Kathy Hochul added that she’s expecting chilly conditions tomorrow.

New York State Governor Kathy Hochul said that she expects conditions at game time tomorrow (4:30 p.m.) to be very cold, into the teens, but notes how it will be without the blowing snow.

The Bills asked for fans to come out and help shovel the snow over the weekend, offering $20 an hour as well as free food. The video below (filmed around 12:30 p.m. EST) shows just how brutal the conditions are at Highmark Stadium.

The Bills certainly aren’t strangers to playing in snow-filled games. Their 2022 regular season game against the Miami Dolphins and AFC Divisional Round tilt against the Cincinnati Bengals (both at Highmark Stadium) were filled with snow as well.
