NFL Playoffs: Snow expected for Chargers vs. Bengals
By Bryan Rose
The San Diego Chargers have played relatively well in cold weather this season and given Sunday’s forecast in Cincinnati, we’ll see if it’s a trend they’ll be able to continue.
According to Weather.com, there is a 80-90 percent chance of precipitation which will include 4-8 inches of snow.
The AFC Wild Card playoff game between the Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals is scheduled for a 1:05 ET kickoff and Weather.com currently (it’s understandably subject to change) projects rain in the forecast which will move into sleet and eventually snow as the game progresses, which will include a ‘Winter Storm Warning’.
In addition to the snow and rain, it’s also expected that winds will pick up and be in the 15-20 MPH range – not exactly the type of conditions Andy Dalton and Philip Rivers are looking for in regards to their passing attacks.
We’re still over twenty-four hours away from the scheduled kick and as well all know, weather reports can change quickly but it sounds as if Sunday afternoons game is shaping up to be a blustery contest.
