NFL Hit by Nor'easter: Games Brace for Fury
27 Sep
Summary
- A severe nor'easter is impacting the Northeast with high winds and rain.
- The Giants vs. Titans game is directly in the storm's path.
- Most NFL teams are unaffected as games are indoors or out of range.
NFL teams in the Northeast are preparing for a significant weather challenge as a nor'easter batters the Atlantic coast during Week 3. This storm, characterized by rain and wind gusts potentially reaching 60 mph, is expected to last through Monday, September 28.
Of the games scheduled, only the New York Giants' matchup against the Tennessee Titans at MetLife Stadium is directly in the storm's impact zone. Forecasts predict showers with northeast winds of 16 to 23 mph and gusts up to 40 mph.
Conversely, many NFL teams will avoid the severe weather. The New York Jets will play indoors in Detroit, while the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles are traveling to locations well outside the storm's reach in Jacksonville and Chicago, respectively. The Washington Commanders' game in Seattle is expected to have only ordinary rain. The National Weather Service defines a nor'easter as a storm with winds typically from the northeast, bringing heavy precipitation.
