BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Bills' wild-card round game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers has been rescheduled to Monday at 4:30 p.m. EST from Sunday at 1 p.m. EST due to an incoming snowstorm in order to prioritize safety in the region.

The move was announced in news conference held by New York State Governor Kathy Hochul on Saturday afternoon. The decision came after conversations with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, emergency response teams, Bills leadership and the NFL.

A winter storm warning is in effect for the Buffalo area and surrounding counties, including Erie County in which the stadium in Orchard Park, New York, is located.
