NFL has contingencies if storm disrupts Browns game at Bills. Detroit and Washington are potential options.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The NFL is monitoring the weather and has contingency plans in place in the event a lake-effect snowstorm set to hit the Buffalo region disrupts the Bills' home game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
"Our team is in communication with the NFL. They've been through it before, we've been through it before and handled it well," coach Sean McDermott said on Wednesday."So full confidence in our team that's working behind the scenes on that." The Bills had a home game moved because of a snowstorm in November 2014, when they defeated the New York Jets 38-3 in a game played at Detroit's Ford Field. The game, originally scheduled for Sunday, was also pushed back to Monday to take into account both teams traveling.
The Browns are currently scheduled to fly to Buffalo on Saturday afternoon, but have travel contingency plans in place. "You dream of a snow bowl, a game where you get tackled and make a snow angel, things like that. It might not be as glamorous as your dream."
