by Even though the NFL playoffs are more than a month away, a playoff atmosphere — and a playoff feel with the weather — will descend on Buffalo as the Bills host the 49ers on “Sunday Night Football” . The 9-2 Bills are living well, on a six-game winning streak and are coming off a win against 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 high as the calendar turns to December, with an eye on January. With a win Sunday night, Buffalo clinches the AFC East after Miami’s loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving night.
The 49ers limp into Buffalo at 5-6, after a blowout 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 get some, if not all, back for another cold-weather road trip. Despite the sub-.500 record, the 49ers entered Week 13 just one game removed from a tie for first place in the NFC West with the 6-5 Cardinals and Seahawks.
As for the weather in Buffalo, expect windy conditions with temperatures in the upper 20s and temperatures near the teens, with a chance of a few snow showers.
