The Buffalo Bills will host the New England Patriots on Saturday night in the AFC wild-card round, the third meeting between the two teams.
It will also be the second game between these AFC East rivals this season where weather will play a big role. In their first meeting, wind gusts on that Monday night in Buffalo exceeded 50 miles per hour, making the passing game difficult. New England quarterback Mac Jones attempted only three passes, and the Patriots’ running game led the way for the visitors that night.
Tonight, the cold will be the weather factor the teams will need to deal with. Temperatures are expected to be in the single digits, with a Wind Chill Advisory going into effect tonight for the Buffalo area.
Buffalo wide receiver Stefon Diggs is marking the weather with his choice of footwear:
Very appropriate for tonight. 😅 #NEvsBUF @StefonDiggs | @MACHE275 pic.twitter.com/Di8nf8qwwN

For his sake, hopefully he has a better time catching the ball than Scrat does tracking down that acorn…
