Not that anyone needed another reason to get excited for Sunday's Cincinnati Bengals-Buffalo Bills playoff game, but the weather provided one.
Snow wasn't exactly ideal for either star quarterback, Joe Burrow of the Bengals or Josh Allen of the Bills, but it wasn't bitterly cold or windy at kickoff. Wind generally affects quarterbacks more than precipitation. It didn't affect Burrow on the Bengals' first drive, as he completed all four of his passes for 65 yards and a touchdown.
And who doesn't like a good snow game? There was a layer of snow on the field as the game kicked off, made for great television. "If you wanted something that looks like a playoff game Jim, this is it right here." CBS' Tony Romo told play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz as the game kicked off.
