Fans may love watching a good snow game when it comes to football, but there is a point where too much snow becomes a problem. That could be the case for Week 11 action in the NFL.
According to weather forecasts, parts of New York could see between 3-6 feet of snow this weekend. That would pose serious problems for the game in Buffalo between the Bills and the Cleveland Browns.
According to Adam Schefter, there is also a possibility of “thundersnow” with the NFL monitoring the storm and talking with the two teams about potential alternates. The last time the NFL moved a game for snow was in 2014.
Forecasts calling for snow totals of 3-to-6 feet by Sunday in Buffalo, including possible “thundersnow.” Last time snow forced NFL to move a game out of Buffalo was 2014, when Jets and Bills played that Monday night in Detroit. NFL monitoring storm, talking to Bills and Browns.

Mary Kay Cabot with Cleveland.com reports that Ford Field in Detroit is one location being monitored as a potential alternate site. The Lions play at the Giants this week before hosting the Bills on Thanksgiving.
A final decision on the game could be made as late as Friday.
