After so much speculation, a decision has finally been made on the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers Wildcard matchup. 

The game was set to kick off on Sunday, but New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that the game is postponed until Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET. 

The snow was expected to seriously impact the game, with the Bills actually asking fans for help in clearing the stadium. 

After a big win over the Miami Dolphins to conclude the regular season, the Bills earned the second seed in the AFC. And with that, they get home-field advantage. 

While the NFL has been known to play some games in bad weather, the inclement weather was determined to be too severe. 

The decision is based on travel to and from the stadium, with players, staff, and fans putting themselves at risk to get there. Hochul has also placed a full travel ban in Erie County because of the "extremely dangerous" conditions.
