The Buffalo Bills will host the Cleveland Browns at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday. In a game rife with AFC playoff implications, Buffalo will have a true home field advantage, unlike Monday night when it was forced to play at Ford Field in Detroit following seven feet of snow being dumped on the Buffalo region.

Bills president Russ Brandon said the stadium is “100 percent ready” and able to host a football game, per Matthew Fairburn of the Syracuse Post-Standard:
“With the heat wave that we had (Monday), and over the last two days having 500 shovelers in the building, we’ve made great progress. And all indications are that we are 100 percent ready to roll back at Ralph Wilson Stadium, have a good week of practice and get ready for the Browns. None of the reports that I have would lead us to think otherwise.”
On Tuesday, Brandon made it official.

— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) November 25, 2014 The city of Buffalo was in a state of emergency for much of last week, with snow piling up to inconceivable levels. There was a driving ban that lasted days, which forced the team to miss practices before flying out to Detroit. Ralph Wilson Stadium had been buried by 220 tons of snow but with the help of fans who became workers, the facility is up and running.
Buffalo enters Week 13 at 6-5, trailing the final wild card spot by a game. One of the teams ahead of the Bills are the Browns, who are 7-4 and somehow sitting in last place in the AFC North. At least for this contest, it will be business as usual for the Bills.
