The New York Jets are scheduled to face the New England Patriots in week 3 of the 2023 NFL season. According to the weather forecast, a tropical cyclone might end up disrupting the game that is set to take place at MetLife Stadium on September 24.
Tropical Storm Ophelia is all set to bring powerful circular hurricanes with maximum sustained winds surpassing 119 kph. There is also the chance of significant rainfall that may develop over warm tropical waters. during Sunday’s game, which is a must-win for both the Patriots as well as the Jets, the gloomy weather forecast can be the factor that makes or breaks the proceedings.
After two weeks of games in this season of NFL being done and dusted, the Patriots are yet to secure their first victory of the season. The Jets, on the other hand, are still hoping to turn things around after losing to the Dallas Cowboys 30-10 last week.
Since the game is taking place at a time in the year when hurricanes are in season, rain and high-speed winds are expected to be in vogue, which will naturally favor defense and restrict offensive plays. As a result, teams would prefer to utilize their resources more cautiously, choosing more rushing plays. They would also prefer fewer passing attempts to prevent turnovers.
Due to the weather, players like Breece Hall, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Ezekiel Elliott would become more valuable to teams. Due to their running abilities, the two teams can be forced to depend mainly on these players.
The game will be live telecast on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Viewers will be able to catch all the action live on CBS. Live streaming will be available on FuboTV, featuring all the broadcasting networks in addition to ESPN and NFL Network.
