Will the Bills and Browns have the ability to plow ahead with their Sunday matchup?
That’s the large query as host Buffalo is ready to be covered in as much as 4 feet of snow this week.
“This can be the beginning of a chronic lake-effect snow event which can likely include paralyzing snowfall for the Buffalo and Watertown areas late this week through the weekend,” the National Weather Service office in Buffalo wrote in its forecast discussion on Wednesday morning.
There could even be some thundersnow because the Orchard Park area gets a thick blanket of the cold stuff.
The team practiced indoors on Wednesday, though neither team is preparing for the sport at Highmark Stadium to be moved or delayed.
“I do know our team is in communication with the NFL,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday. “They’ve been through it before, we’ve been through it before. The football team has to get able to play a game and execute.”
Buffalo isn’t any stranger to winter weather, and McDermott has big expectations for the Bills Mafia.
“This can be a resilient town, all of the individuals with snow plows and snowmobiles and all that sort of jazz, I’m sure they’ll chip in and help,” he said. “We’ve got a variety of guys from Florida, down south and out west which have never seen snow before. Our development team does an excellent job — they equip them with scrapers and deicing mechanisms. We’ve already began to plan … what happens if we are able to’t get in (practices) Friday, can’t in Saturday … We’re working on that also.”
Kevin Stefanski, McDermott’s Cleveland counterpart, can also be preparing for the snow as much as possible.
“When weather goes to be an element… you’re at all times enthusiastic about having plays you would possibly turn too should it’s a significant component,” he told reporters on Wednesday. “The blokes are prepared for if that’s what it finally ends up being. You’ll be able to’t spend an excessive amount of time worrying about that.”
