Rain, Wind, Hail Expected for Giants-Commanders Rematch
13 Nov
Summary
- Rain and wind are forecast for Thursday's Commanders-Giants game.
- The Giants' run game could benefit from inclement weather conditions.
- Giants' defense has performed well in rainy conditions this season.
Thursday's matchup between the New York Giants and Washington Commanders is predicted to feature harsh weather conditions. MetLife Stadium is anticipated to experience rain, wind, and possibly thunderstorms and hail, mirroring the challenging conditions from their previous encounter.
The Giants' offensive strategy might shift towards a stronger ground game, especially with starting running back Cam Skattebo potentially returning. Their previous meeting saw 103 rushing yards on 28 attempts against Washington, and the Commanders' defense struggles against the run.
Quarterback J.J. McCarthy is slated to start, with expectations of a run-heavy offensive approach. The Giants' defense has also shown resilience in wet weather, particularly at home, limiting opponents in previous rain-affected games this season.
