The Green Bay Packers and New York Jets will have to navigate wet and rainy conditions inside MetLife Stadium during Sunday's Week 2 showdown in the Meadowlands.
According to Accuweather, light to moderate rain is expected in the area throughout the early afternoon on Sunday. Some periods of rain could be heavy, and winds up to 10 miles per hour are expected, with gusts up to 20 miles per hour. Temps will hover around 70 degrees.
How will the conditions affect Sunday's matchup? Safe handling of the ball will be a priority in wet conditions. Rain could also affect the overall consistency of the passing game, where accuracy and the catching of the ball could become more difficult if the rain is heavy. Special teams will also be in the spotlight,
as kicking could be even more tricky at MetLife Stadium if rain and wind are in play.
More than anything, avoiding a weather-related mistake could be the difference between winning and losing for the Packers and Jets on Sunday.
The Jets are planning to provide ponchos for attending fans at MetLife Stadium:
