Why the Steelers – Bills playoff game is being played on a Monday afternoon

Maybe you’re a little confused about the NFL playoff schedule: These days, there are usually two Saturday Wild Card games, three on Sunday and one on Monday night.

So … why are the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills playing on Monday afternoon? Why is that?

You’ve come to the right place for the answer: It’s because the game was pushed back to Monday due to the massive lake-effect snowstorm that descended on Buffalo Saturday night, kept going through Sunday night and is supposed to taper off by Monday afternoon. Because of unsafe conditions for everyone involved, it became a Monday, 4:30 p.m. contest.

There you have it.
