Rain in the forecast for Packers-Jets in Week 2
The Packers and Jets will need to navigate wet and rainy conditions at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The Green Bay Packers and New York Jets will face wet and rainy conditions at MetLife Stadium during their Week 2 matchup on Sunday. According to Accuweather, light to moderate rain is expected throughout the early afternoon, with some heavier periods and winds up to 10 miles per hour. The temperature is forecast to be around 70 degrees.
In these wet conditions, handling the ball safely will be crucial, and the passing game may be less accurate and more difficult to catch if rain is heavy. Special teams will also face challenges, as kicking could become more difficult with rain and wind. The Jets are preparing to provide ponchos for fans at MetLife Stadium while supplies last.
The importance of avoiding weather-related mistakes to secure a victory is emphasized for both teams. The game kicks off at noon CT on Sunday.
