The imminent NFL face-off may encounter a setback, posing a prime worry within the franchise. In the lead-up to the weekend’s matches, the weather forecast has hinted at an unexpected deterioration in conditions, causing concern for the league due to the potential impact on the significant Bills, Ravens, and Jets matchups.

A potentially life-threatening cyclone named “Ophelia” is ringing at the door, which could create a messy situation in the field. Weather reports highlight the shift of this risky storm accompanied by heavy rains to eastern Maryland. Moreover, the storm is expected to hit harder on Friday and Saturday, whose effect could be felt in the week 3 showdown. So are the games going to be delayed? Or there is still a chance? Unconfirmed. But let’s delve into the situation of the gridiron.

Is Ophelia impacting the week 3 showdown?

In week 3, if storms occur, things will turn pretty devastating. It could result in the possibility of some of the crucial matchups that fans have been waiting for so long. On the contrary, if the match would even be commenced, the risk factor would remain static. Even though the hazard has not been confirmed in the United States, some effects could be felt in the stadium.

As per the reports suggested by the National Hurricane Center, this storm is lingering up the Eastern Seaboard of the US which could change into a tropical or maybe sub-tropical storm by this Friday. This could lead to heavy rainfall and winds, criteria that can have adverse effects on field conditions. If the storm hits Maryland by Saturday, it may affect three NFL games. The most high-risk game is the Buffalo Bills vs. Washington Commanders in Landover, Maryland. The other two games that could be impacted are New England Patriots vs. New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens vs. Indianapolis Colts.

While talking to USA Today, he said, ” I would say if there’s a game that’s potentially more impacted by rain and potentially a windswept rain. It’s probably the Patriots-Jets game on Sunday.”
