A winning football team will host a game at Ford Field this weekend.
That became official Thursday, as a lake-effect snowstorm in the Buffalo, New York, area forced the NFL to announce the Buffalo Bills will be playing Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns at Detroit’s Ford Field.
Kickoff is at 1 p.m.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday issued a State of Emergency for at least 11 counties in western New York, warning of snow accumulations that could reach four feet.
Ford Field has twice filled in as an emergency venue, most recently for a Bills-Jets game in 2014.
