The Buffalo Bills and the Cleveland Browns are set to face each other in Week 11 at the Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York. However, the game could be relocated as a snowstorm is expected to hit Buffalo.

As of now, the league hasn't announced any news about the relocation of the game, and both teams are expecting to face the Buffalo weather.

NFL Insider Dan Graziano gave an update on the conditions ahead of the game in Week 11. Here's what he said on Get Up:

"The league is monitoring this closely. They're talking to both teams are talking to local officials seeing what the storm is going to do. It's possible they have to move the game because of the surrounding conditions right."

Graziano added:

"Even if it's not snowing during the game Sunday, there may be enough snow on the ground and enough snow falling the next couple days that it requires extra resources to clear the stadium, clear the parking lot. They they may need those resources elsewhere for emergencies."

He continued:

"This is going to be a significant snowstorm, it is going to impact the area and a lot of ways that have nothing to do with football. So what the league has said is that they could relocate the game, that they haven't made that decision yet. They have until tomorrow, Friday is their deadline for deciding whether to do that."

Will the Browns vs Bills game be moved?

Fans love to watch the games in the snow but an excessive amount of snow will likely lead to some changes in the venue.

There is, however, precedent for a game to be moved out of Buffalo.

Back in 2014, the league made the decision to move a Week 12 game to Ford Field in Detroit due to bad weather. Buffalo ended up routing the Jets in that game 38-3.

If this game goes ahead as planned, it will be interesting to see how both teams deal with the conditions.

Josh Allen has been under pressure after making some careless mistakes in the last couple of games. He could redeem himself with a good game in difficult conditions.


Buffalo Bills need to win against the Cleveland Browns

The Buffalo Bills have lost their last two games in a very disappointing manner. They lost to the New York Jets and then to the Minnesota Vikings and could realistically have won both. Although they are currently 6-3, the Bills need to win against the Cleveland Browns (who are still without Deshaun Watson) to climb up in their division.

Allen's MVP stock has fallen dramatically and he needs to bounce back with a solid game to shut his critics down. As of now, the Buffalo Bills are favored by -8.0 points. We will see what happens this weekend as the clouds begin to gather and the temperature drops in Buffalo.
