The Buffalo Bills were forced to move their Week 11 game against the Cleveland Browns to a new location, and you will know why when you see what their stadium looked like on Friday.
A historic snowstorm that rolled into Western New York on Thursday night is expected to clobber the area for most of the weekend. Orchard Park, which is where the Bills’ Highmark Stadium resides, had already received nearly four feet of snow as of mid-afternoon on Friday. In one photo that went viral, Highmark Stadium was practically unrecognizable.

Bills pass-rusher Von Miller also gave fans an idea of just how much snow had fallen in a short period of time.

The Buffalo area is expected to receive at least five feet of snow by the time the storm subsides. While the Bills are no strangers to playing in poor conditions, this particular storm was so bad that playing at Highmark Stadium was not an option. Mother Nature may have even sent an eery message warning the Bills to get out of town.
The Bills will “host” the Cleveland Browns at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday.
