The NFL has refuted a report that Sunday’s AFC wild-card game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, N.Y., could be moved to Cleveland due to weather.
The Buffalo area is expected to be leveled with a winter storm that could cause a state of emergency to be declared for western New York. Despite this possibility, the league said there is no truth to the report that circulated on Thursday that the game could be moved to Ohio.
Marty Griffin of KDKA-AM in Pittsburgh posted on X, formerly Twitter, that Cleveland Browns Stadium officials were asked by the league about the possibility of playing the game there. He also mentioned that fans should “be ready” for the venue switch.
