New York governor Kathy Hochul announced on Saturday afternoon that Sunday’s wild-card playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills would be postponed until Monday due to a devastating snowstorm hitting the Buffalo area.
And now, we’re able to see why.
The official social media account of the Buffalo Bills posted a video on X showing the heavy snow impacting Highmark Stadium on Saturday night. The clip of the weather is pretty unbelievable to see.

Blizzard conditions are expected in the Buffalo area throughout the day Sunday, which would have made it incredibly difficult for fans to navigate and attend the game safely.
For that reason, the game will now be played on Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on CBS as previously planned.
Here are some of the best reactions from social media to the dangerous conditions out of Buffalo on Saturday night:
My Lord, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed.
