Blizzard conditions expected in Chicago on Friday ahead of Bears versus Bills game.
And now he’s going to have to do the same thing again this week when the Bills travel to Chicago on Saturday for a game that will also be played in potentially awful conditions, or not.“It’ll be kind of similar this week,” Dorsey said Tuesday regarding the task of putting together multiple plans to make sure he can adjust his calls based on whatever weather the Bills and Bears will be playing in.
As it turned out, the snow didn’t start falling until about 12 minutes remained in the fourth quarter, and by the end of the game, the field was only lightly covered. “If it’s a high wind game, we’ll do the same thing and have a separate game plan if the wind is affecting us so we can go to those things that we feel better about in the wind,” he said.
The temperature at game time was zero and the wind chill was minus-32. In terms of the wind chill number, it was the third-coldest in NFL history behind only the 1981 AFC Championship Game - Chargers at Bengals, minus-59 degrees; and the 1967 NFL Championship - Cowboys at Packers, minus-48. In terms of temperature, it’s the fifth-coldest game.
For that one, a Christmas Eve snowstorm dumped more than 20 inches of snow in Orchard Park and the team had to summon the public’s help - on a holiday - to shovel out the stadium.
