The Buffalo Bills could call Ford Field in Detroit home for a night.
According to ProFootballTalk.com and ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Ford Field in Detroit is on the short list to host the Jets and Bills game after the Buffalo area was nailed with over five feet of snow Monday night with more on the way.
Per source, if Jets-Bills isn't played in Buffalo, the options are Detroit, Toronto, and New Jersey.

Bills coaches are preparing with the belief that the game vs. Jets will be moved to Monday night in Detroit, Pittsburgh or Washington.

There’s still no word on what the NFL is planning to do with the game however Bills vice president of operations Andy Major said he wasn’t sure if there was enough time to clear the roughly 220,000 tons of snow by Sunday.
If the game is moved to another night and Detroit is chosen as the host this would be the second time Ford Field hosted a temporarily homeless NFL team. Back on December 13th, 2010 Ford Field was the ‘home field’ for the Minnesota Vikings against the New York Giants after heavy snow destroyed the roof of the Metrodome.
