The Buffalo Bills had one additional week to prepare for Sunday Night Football.
That’s usually a positive, as Sean McDermott has never lost a game as a head coach coming off a bye week.
Moreover, the Bills will have the ultimate homefield advantage.
As shown by a clip shared by the team on X, Orchard Park is absolutely covered in snow.

This will be an instant classic, an old-school brand of football game.
That’s not great news for the San Francisco 49ers, who are used to playing under the bright sun in Santa Clara.
The Niners will have Brock Purdy back on the field after sustaining a shoulder injury, but they will have their work cut out for them against a talented team like the Bills.
The Bills are currently 9-2 and riding a six-game winning streak, including a huge win over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Josh Allen has been arguably the best quarterback in the league this season, or at least the best version we’ve ever seen of him.
These conditions are not ideal for quarterbacks, and both teams will likely lean on a run-heavy game.
But given how well Allen has usually fared at home and how he’s grown used to playing in inclement weather, the home side should be heavily favored to take this one.
The Niners, on the other hand, could see their postseason hopes fade with a loss, which would only add more motivation to this already electrifying clash.
