The San Francisco 49ers have traveled to Buffalo with a strong desire to get back on their winning streak, especially with the snowy weather conditions. After facing two back-to-back losses, the Niners are ready to take on the Bills in this Sunday Night Football matchup with their quarterback, Brock Purdy, returning to the field.
Unfortunately, Purdy was unable to play in last week's game against the Packers due to a shoulder injury. However, he has recovered and is expected to lead the team this week after returning to practice. On the other hand, some of the team's star players, such as defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams, will not be playing as they have not fully recovered from their injuries. Left guard Aaron Banks and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir are also out for the game. However, there is some good news as cornerback Charvarius Ward will be returning after taking some time off to mourn the loss of his 23-month-old daughter. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who suffered an Achilles tear in the Super Bowl, has also returned to practice but is not expected to play.
The Bills, on the other hand, are coming off a bye week and are riding high on a six-game winning streak, thanks to their star quarterback Josh Allen who is currently a favorite for the MVP award. They most recently defeated the previously undefeated Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago. However, they will be without their tight end, Dalton Kincaid, who is out with a knee injury. Wide receiver Keon Coleman is also questionable for the game due to a wrist injury.
The snowy weather has been a major factor leading up to this game. Lake-effect snow has been hitting Buffalo throughout the holiday weekend, and it is expected to continue into Sunday night with temperatures just below freezing. In fact, the National Weather Service has reported a staggering 22.9 inches of snow in Orchard Park, the suburb where Highmark Stadium is located, as of 11 a.m. ET Sunday.
As the game approaches, fans can expect an exciting matchup between these two talented teams. Stay tuned for live updates as the game unfolds.
