Steelers key man returns before…

The Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers will play their 2024 wild card round matchup on Monday without further delay, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Sunday.

Hochul said temperatures are still expected to be in the teens on Monday, but without the high winds and blinding snow that would pose a threat to players and spectators alike.

“There’s good karma playing in the bitter cold here in Buffalo, and that’s what we’re hoping for tomorrow. With that, go Bills,” Hochul said.

The NFL wild card payoff tilt was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. ET Sunday, but was postponed Saturday due to lake-effect snowfall and high winds. Hochul also announced a travel ban for Buffalo’s Erie County.
