Week 3 in the NFL poses several massive tests with poor weather conditions, including a game involving last season’s Super Bowl champions.
Nor’easter rain and winds are expected to cause issues for multiple NFC East teams hosting games. The New York Giants and Washington Commanders could see their games affected on Sunday as they take on the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks, respectively.
Both matchups can expect winds gusting over 30 mph, which could surely alter passing attacks for Sam Darnold and the three other quarterbacks competing.
Many NFL fans will have their eyes locked on Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys in the first-ever NFL game played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Dallas takes on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens with field conditions a larger concern for the players.
