NFL on the Bills-Steelers game: “Public safety will continue to be our top priority.”

The Steelers vs. Bills playoff game on Sunday is still scheduled by the NFL. Plans could still alter, though.

Chief NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy emailed PFT on Friday night to confirm that Sunday’s 1:00 p.m. ET wild-card game in Buffalo is still scheduled. But McCarthy added a caveat.

McCarthy stated, “We have maintained constant communication regarding conditions with Governor Hochul’s office, and our primary focus will always be public safety.”

There are two options: move the game or postpone it. or both. If necessary, the NFL might play two games on Monday night, either simultaneously or staggeredly.

And if the game needs to be moved to Tuesday, the winner’s divisional round game could be played on the following Monday. And the AFC Championship could be played on the Monday after that.

The NFL learned how to be flexible during the pandemic. The weather situation in Buffalo might require maximum flexibility for the NFL.
