Even though the NFL playoffs are more than a month away, the playoff atmosphere — and playoff feel with the weather — will take over Buffalo as the Bills host the 49ers on “Sunday Night Football.” The 9-2 Bills are living large, riding a six-game winning streak and coming off a win over the Kansas City Chiefs before their bye. While the 49ers will be fighting for their playoff lives, the Bills are trying to keep their heads up building steam with the calendar turning to December with an eye toward January. Buffalo won the AFC East on Sunday night after Miami lost to the Packers on Thanksgiving Day.
The 49ers limp into Buffalo at 5-6 with a loss at Green Bay last week. The 49ers were without Brock Purdy (shoulder), Trent Williams (ankle) and Joey Bosa (hip, oblique) last week and would do well to have any, if not all, of them back for another cold-weather outing. Despite a sub-.500 record, the 49ers entered Week 13 just a game behind the 6-5 Cardinals and Seahawks for first place in the NFC West.
As for the weather in Buffalo, expect windy conditions with temperatures in the upper 20s and feeling like temperatures in the mid-teens, with the possibility of a few snow flurries.
