Orchard Park, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – Ralph Wilson Stadium is blanketed in snow, but the Bills are still planning to play their Week 12 game against the New York Jets at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.<\/p>\n
A ferocious lake-effect storm dumped more than five feet of snow in the Buffalo area. Another storm is expected to drop another two feet.<\/p>\n
The Bills estimate that they will need to clear 220,000 tons of snow in order to clear the stadium for Sunday’s game.<\/p>\n
Snow shovelers can help clear the stadium for $10 an hour, plus game tickets if they work a certain number of hours.<\/p>\n
The NFL released the following statement about Sunday’s game:<\/p>\n
“We are working with the Bills to determine the status of the stadium. If a change to the schedule needs to be made, the league will make the decision, working closely with the club and local authorities.”<\/p>\n
Bills coach Doug Marrone said during a conference call Wednesday that they are videotaping coaches’ game plan information and distributing it digitally to players.<\/p>\n
“I can’t say enough about the people of Buffalo. Words can’t describe it, everyone is just helping each other,” said Marrone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
