"It came down hard and heavy, continuing for several hours. Unsurprisingly, several NFL games will be affected, including the Commanders' trip to MetLife Stadium. The Giants have covered their turf, for what it's worth. JP Finlay from NBC Sports posted a video on social media of the state of play just before kickoff, with snow falling and staff working hard to clear it."
"According to AccuWeather, snow is expected to continue right until kickoff. It's going to clear after that, but it will still be blusery and frigid in East Rutherford, with temperatures ranging from -2 to -4 throughout the contest. The turf at MetLife Stadium is unforgiving at the best of times. This will be played on what will feel like ice-covered concrete, so it'll be fascinating to see if the game plan adjusts and how the players handle it."
Heavy snowfall in the northeastern United States is expected to continue through kickoff at MetLife Stadium, with crews actively clearing snow from the turf. Forecasts call for blustery, frigid conditions with temperatures between -2 and -4 degrees during the contest. The field surface will resemble ice-covered concrete, increasing risk of slips and physical wear on players. Coaches may adjust game plans to account for traction and ball security. Washington's team lacks experience in snow games, making preparation, focus, and physical resilience particularly important in determining outcomes and evaluating personnel over the remaining regular-season games.
