Games to Watch for Weather Impact

San Francisco 49ers @ Cleveland Browns (1:00 PM ET)

The most challenging conditions of the day will be in Cleveland, where temperatures will sit at the freezing mark with a wind chill of 20°F. Strong winds reaching 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph, combined with a 50% chance of snow, will make this game a true test of cold-weather football. Expect the passing game to be affected significantly, with both teams likely leaning on the run.

New Orleans Saints @ Miami Dolphins (1:00 PM ET)

Miami's warm weather comes with a catch: rain. With temperatures in the upper 70s and a 50% chance of precipitation, handling the football could be an issue. Winds of 14 mph shouldn't cause major problems, but wet conditions typically mean more conservative play-calling and potential turnover issues.

Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets (1:00 PM ET)

MetLife Stadium will see cool temperatures in the mid-40s with a 50% chance of rain. While not as extreme as Cleveland, these conditions could still impact ball security and passing accuracy. Wind gusts up to 32 mph add another variable to consider.

Buffalo Bills @ Pittsburgh Steelers (4:25 PM ET)

The late afternoon kickoff in Pittsburgh features freezing temperatures with a wind chill in the low 20s. While no precipitation is expected, the cold and 14 mph winds will still favor teams that can run the ball effectively.

Ideal Conditions

Six games feature relatively mild conditions that should allow for normal offensive production:

Perfect Weather:

  • Arizona Cardinals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (79°F, clear skies)
  • Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts (indoor)

Good Conditions:

  • Los Angeles Rams @ Carolina Panthers (50°F, light winds)
  • Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans (42°F, light winds)
  • Minnesota Vikings @ Seattle Seahawks (44°F, calm winds)
  • Las Vegas Raiders @ Los Angeles Chargers (66°F, overcast)

Tampa provides the best outdoor conditions with warm temperatures and clear skies, while Indianapolis eliminates all weather concerns under the dome at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Key Takeaways

Sunday's weather creates a clear split between challenging conditions in the Northeast and Midwest versus ideal playing environments in the South and West. Teams traveling to Cleveland and Pittsburgh should be prepared for cold, windy conditions that favor physical, run-heavy game plans. Meanwhile, the rain threat in Miami and New Jersey requires extra attention to ball security.

For fans planning to watch or attend games, dress appropriately for the conditions. Cleveland and Pittsburgh will require winter gear, while Miami and Tampa offer comfortable viewing weather. The variety of conditions across Sunday's slate adds an extra layer of intrigue to Week 13's action.
