The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets are slated to play a hard-hitting football game Sunday. There's only one slight problem: The game is scheduled to be played in Buffalo.
Buffalo is currently in a snow emergency, paralyzed under feet upon feet of snow, leaving many saying the game can't be played at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
According to CBSSports.com the game could actually be played at Ford Field.
Per source, if Jets-Bills isn't played in Buffalo, the options are Detroit, Toronto, and New Jersey.

According to NFL.com, the league has set a Friday deadline to announce the kickoff time for the game.
In 2010, Ford Field hosted the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings due to damage at the Metrodome. This was also the first "Monday Night Football" game held at Ford Field.
