Josh Allen and Co. and the Steelers are gearing up for a high-stakes battle! The game has been postponed to tomorrow. The reason? Adverse weather conditions. But it doesn’t look like the weather will be much better tomorrow. You can’t keep pushing such an important game, though.
And what about the injuries ahead of the game? Several key players are down, which will affect the game’s intensity. But the Bills Mafia want to know just one thing: will Josh Allen play?

And Allen will play! The Bills released their final injury report. And the Bills Mafia can finally heave a sigh of relief. Their QB had been nursing a neck injury. It was doubtful whether he would play in the Steelers game. Maybe the team wanted him to rest to avoid aggravating his injury. However, the team has now decided to field him on game day. What about the other injuries?
Over at the Bills camp, it’s a laundry list of injuries. Two main absentees would be WR Gabe Davis and S Taylor Rapp. One is suffering from a knee injury, while the other is nursing a calf injury. Four different players would not be playing. As far as “questionable” is concerned, there are two on the list — CB Rasul Douglas (knee) and LB Tyrel Dodson (shoulder).
The Bills have one more reason to celebrate. LB TJ Watt will not be playing. Now, it seems the D-Line will be much weaker to take on Allen. But otherwise, their injury list is short. There will be one absentee and 0 “questionable.” Trouble for the Bills? Besides, they have the weather to factor in.

What will the weather be like on Monday?
The wild-card playoff game was set for Sunday, 1 p.m. ET. However, a snowstorm took New York by surprise. Consequently, the game was shifted to Monday. But meteorologist Joe Martucci said that the weather will be unforgiving. Plenty of cold and winds have been predicted for Monday.
The Bills even hired fans to remove the snow! What will they get? $20 an hour to remove the snow from the gridiron. The fans have to be a minimum of 18 years old. And they need to get to their own shovels. What else will they get? Breaks and complimentary food for helping. Not a terrible deal at all!
