The Buffalo Bills announced Thursday that their matchup against the Cleveland Browns is being moved to Ford Field in Detroit due to an incoming lake-effect snowstorm set to hit Buffalo.

Kickoff for the Week 11 contest will be Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

The NFL said the decision was made out of an abundance of caution for public safety.

A lake-effect storm warning lasting from Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon was issued by the National Weather Service. The forecast is calling for 2-4 feet of snow and wind gusts up to 35 mph.

The relocation means the Bills will play two consecutive games at Ford Field, as they're scheduled for a road contest against the Detroit Lions in Week 12.
