ORIGINAL STORY: Since it appears that it will never stop snowing in the paradise known as Western New York and things are getting pretty scary out there, cooler heads finally prevailed on Thursday afternoon when the NFL announced that the Bills/Jets game scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Ralph Wilson Stadium will be played in another stadium. Let’s let league PR guru Greg Ailello give us the details.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the game will be moved to either Detroit or Washington and “most likely’’ moved to Monday night opposite the regularly scheduled Monday Night Football game between the Ravens and the Saints. The league is set to announce the new venue and time by Friday afternoon.
This will be the 10th weather-related game location change since 1989, the first since the Minnesota Vikings had three games shifted in 2010.
