With a potentially dangerous winter storm headed toward Buffalo, New York, the NFL was forced to postpone the wild-card playoff game between the Bills and visiting Pittsburgh Steelers.

The game, originally scheduled for 1 p.m. local time on Sunday, was moved to 4:30 p.m. on Monday after New York Governor Kathy Hochul issued a full travel ban for the Buffalo area.

Some meteorologists have projected that the incoming storm could produce lake effect snow accumulations of one to three feet with high winds and limited visibility.

The NFL has had its eye on weather forecasts all week. Saturday night, the Miami Dolphins visit the Chiefs in Kansas City, where the kickoff temperature is projected to be below -2 degrees Fahrenheit.

Winter weather could also affect fan travel in Detroit, where the Lions host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night under the cozy dome at Ford Field.  

Travel is going to be extremely dangerous in Western New York this weekend.

We are implementing a full travel ban in Erie County starting at 9pm tonight.
