Ford Field Will Host Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns Sunday

With forecasts calling for a massive amount of snow to fall in Buffalo over the weekend, the NFL has made a decision to move the Buffalo Bills' contest against the Cleveland Browns to a different location.

Earlier this week, the league had been monitoring weather forecasts in Buffalo, and it has been decided that the significant amount of snowfall that is expected this weekend was not conducive to playing a game outdoors.

With the Lions playing on the road, against the Giants, this weekend at MetLife Stadium, Ford Field became a natural place to host an NFL contest that was in danger of being impacted severely by inclement weather.

The last occasion in which snow forced the league to move a game out of Buffalo came back in 2014, when the Jets and Bills played a Monday Night Football contest in Detroit.

The 6-3 Bills are currently looking to end a two-game losing streak, against a 3-6 Browns team that has been struggling without its new signal-caller in DeShaun Watson.

An interesting note is that now with the game in Detroit, the Bills have lost the edge they could have had in Buffalo.

Cleveland is only a two-and-a-half hour drive from Ford Field.

Officiallly official. Great cooperation among the Bills, local and state officials, Browns and Lions. Our thoughts are with the great people of western New York. pic.twitter.com/Vi2pc6rUsr
