ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Mother Nature might not be through complicating the Buffalo Bills’ playoff schedule, leaving coach Sean McDermott assessing his options on Tuesday. McDermott said the team, for now, is still scheduled to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, while monitoring a forecast that projects a lake-effect storm dumping nearly 2 feet of snow on the Buffalo region. It’s too early to determine whether officials would impose a travel ban, which would potentially prevent Bills players from driving to their facility. The Bills are also dealing with a rash of injuries, with at least nine players’ status uncertain. Our team’s been resilient, and our players have done a phenomenal job of stepping up when someone has gone down,” he added.
