The Browns-Bills game scheduled for Week 11 was moved to Ford Field in Detroit due to record snowfall in the Buffalo area.
But the question remained whether the Bills would actually be able to make it to Detroit to play the game.
As of Saturday morning, that appeared to be in doubt. But thanks in part to some industrious Buffalonians, all Bills personnel had reported to the team's training center and were on track to depart for the Motor City in the afternoon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Earlier in the day, several Bills players, including tight end Dawson Knox, offensive tackle Spencer Brown, and fullback Reggie Gilliam took to social media to thank their neighbors for helping them dig out so that they could reach the team's facilities.
Meanwhile much of Buffalo was digging out after what some outlets were reporting as record snowfall. In Orchard Park, home of the Bills' Highmark Stadium, as much as 77 inches was measured on Saturday morning.
Sadly, the massive storm claimed the lives of at least three people, according to officials. Two were stricken while shoveling, while a snowplow driver in Indiana died in a rollover crash.
Despite the massive storm, the areas ringing Lake Erie and Lake Ontario were expected to see more snow later on Saturday, perhaps as much an additional 1-2 feet.
The Browns-Bills game was scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET. After playing the Browns, the Bills were expected to remain in Detroit, where they will take on the Lions on Thanksgiving at 12:30 p.m. ET.
