Despite Bills-Steelers Postponement, Chiefs-Dolphins Will Proceed as Scheduled Saturday Night
Chiefs-Dolphins will kick off from Arrowhead Stadium at 8 p.m. ET Saturday
While a blizzard in the Lake Erie region has caused the AFC Wild-Card matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills to be postponed from 1 p.m. ET Sunday to 4:30 p.m. ET Monday, Saturday's game between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs will proceed as scheduled.
Wind chills of -30 degrees are expected in Kansas City on Saturday night, which will make the 8 p.m. ET game one of the coldest in NFL history.
The reason for no cancellation? Saturday's conditions do not present public safety or travel threats, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
Winter storms are plaguing the Lake Erie region, and were the reason Dennis Rodman couldn't make it to the 1995-96 Bulls' Ring of Honor induction at the United Center on Friday. Now, those similar travel concerns are causing the Buffalo Bills to have to move their game back one day, as Buffalo had to offer to pay fans to shovel snow.
However, the only issue in Kansas City is extremely cold weather in a game that will feature a team from Miami. No travel concerns exist, everyone at Arrowhead Stadium just has to bundle up and endure below freezing temperatures for about three hours.
