Welcome to Buffalo

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Welcome to Ralph Wilson Stadium, which is located in the Buffalo suburb of Orchard Park, as the Patriots visit the Bills tonight (8:15 p.m.).

The current temperature is 39 degrees and it is expected to drop about 5 degrees by the time kickoff arrives. There is no precipitation, and none is called for in the forecast, so it should be dry but chilly for the teams tonight. Winds are expected to be around 10 miles per hour, which could be a factor in the kicking game.

With the Patriots at 9-0 and buzz surrounding a potential undefeated season, several national reporters are scheduled to be in attendance. USA Today, Sports Illustrated, the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, New York Times and New York Daily News are among those with writers expected to be present in the press box.

Bill Carollo is scheduled to referee tonight's game. In a bit of a scheduling quirk, Carollo also was the referee for the Bills' game last week.

The Jaguars and Eagles will have advance scouts present. The Bills visit the Jaguars next week, while the Patriots host the Eagles.

We'll have more throughout the night.
