Poor visibility, thanks to the snowstorm in Western New York, made things extremely difficult on the Colts and Bills in Sunday’s game at New Era Field.
The massive amount of snow played a big role in the game, as the field was completely covered, with heavy snow falling during the AFC matchup as well. Bills fans likely knew that the team would have an uphill battle with Nathan Peterman starting at quarterback, but it was Mother Nature that really had the biggest impact on the must-win game. The Bills are fighting for their playoff lives, and are now forced to do so playing in the elements.
Here are some amazing shots of what the scene in Orchard Park looks like, and it’s hard to imagine how these teams will attempt to move the football on offense.

Snow job, Buffalo Bills style. 45 minutes to kickoff and you can barely see the other end zone. pic.twitter.com/hxlN73kYf8

Here's the view at kickoff of Bills-Colts. Snow has let up enough to see play clock and scoreboard. But field lines will be an issue. https://t.co/JyThdmMfha pic.twitter.com/PbaqIij9qx

LOVE watching The Colts at Buffalo blizzard/snow-show. Covered The Bills 1982-1986, worked in Rochester NY, lived that. Also born in Johnson City, NY, about 75 miles south of Syracuse. Brings back SO many memories.

We initially thought the fog-filled second half of the Falcons-Patriots matchup at Gillette Stadium in Week 7 was difficult on players, but Sunday’s game takes the cake.
