Weather potentially could impact second half of Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills game
Summer is going to stick around for one more weekend, with temperatures predicted to reach 90 degrees on Saturday.
Things will turn Sunday night when rain is predicted in Kansas City. Will that affect the Chiefs-Bills “Sunday Night Football” game at Arrowhead Stadium?
Maybe.
