The San Francisco 49ers are in desperate need of a victory after suffering severe injuries and defeats.
The 49ers (5-6) are in danger of dropping out of the NFC West postseason contention after losing two straight games. They are only one game behind Arizona and Seattle in first place, but they simply cannot afford to lose any more games. Regretfully, they will be playing the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.
The two-time defending Super Bowl winners suffered their first setback of the season when the Bills (9-2) defeated Kansas City 30-21, their most recent victory in six straight games. This season, Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen is playing at an MVP level, and the Bills are a serious threat to unseat Kansas City as the AFC champions.
In addition to facing Allen and the Bills, the 49ers will also have to contend with the weather in Buffalo on Sunday night.
With severe gusts, up to six inches of snow, and freezing temperatures at the 5:20 p.m. PT kickoff time at Highmark Stadium, the area is currently under a winter storm watch. With winds of up to 20 miles per hour, the wind chill factor will cause temperatures to drop even further. Temperatures are predicted to be below freezing.
In Western New York, severe weather is typical in late November.
Last season, Buffalo’s extreme winter weather led the NFL to postpone a game between the Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild card playoffs. Originally scheduled for Sunday, the game was postponed by more than twenty-four hours to Monday at 4:30 p.m. In 2022, the Bills’ regular-season game versus Cleveland was rescheduled to Detroit.
There are currently no intentions to postpone the game on Sunday.
Following their bye week, the Bills are favored and want to win for the seventh time in a row if the game proceeds as planned. Since losing to the Texans on October 6, they have not suffered a loss. After missing the 49ers’ defeat to the Green Bay Packers due to an injured right shoulder, the team is hoping that quarterback Brock Purdy will be able to play.
