The Buffalo Bills host the Pittsburgh Steelers in an AFC Wild Card game that was delayed a day because of a massive snowstorm in Buffalo. This game was originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon but was moved to Monday after a travel ban for the area was put in place that started Saturday night.
The Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 and clinched a playoff spot when the Jacksonville Jaguars lost. Last week, the Steelers lost All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt, who suffered a knee injury. His brother, J.J. Watt, said it was a Grade 2 MCL sprain and the Steelers linebacker would need a “couple weeks of rest/recovery.”
