Bills, Browns shifted to Detroit for Week 11 duel

Written by ABC AUDIO on November 18, 2022

Here’s the scoop: Too much snow in Buffalo forced the NFL to shovel the Bills and Cleveland Browns to an alternate game site. They’ll square off in Detroit for their scheduled Week 11 game on Sunday.

The Bills are also scheduled to play at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day, giving them two games infive days at Detroit.

Historical accumulation measured in feet was forecast for western New York before midday Saturday, creating a string of logistics and safety concerns for the team, league and region.

“Due to public safety concerns and out of an abundance of caution in light of the ongoing weather emergency in western New York, Sunday’s Cleveland Browns-Buffalo Bills game will be moved to Ford Field in Detroit at 1 p.m. ET,” the NFL said in a statement Thursday. “The decision to move the game from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. was done in consultation with the Buffalo Bills and local and state authorities as the region prepares for the storm.”

When the teams hit the field Sunday, the Bills (6-3) will look to halt a two-game skid and the Browns (3-6) will attempt to ignite fading postseason hopes. But in the mind of Cleveland starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett, the shift to Ford Field should be a positive.

His last snow game in Buffalo, then as quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, didn’t go so great in a 13-7 loss.

“I don’t want to talk about the results of the game,” Brissett said when reminded of that cold day when he completed 11 of 22 passes for 69 yards and one touchdown.

Asked how players can deal with so much snow, Brissett said, “I’m from Florida, so no, I wouldn’t know. I’m the wrong person to ask. I really won’t think about it.”

Coaches began needling their own alternate plans on Tuesday when the NFL and Erie County officials began discussing contingency plans.

“We’ve already started to put a plan in place behind the scenes of what happens if we can’t get in Friday, what happens if we can’t get in Saturday or to the hotel Saturday evening (where the team stays the night before games) with that being downtown,” Buffalo coach Sean McDermott said.
