What is the forecast for Patriots-Chargers playoff game on Sunday?

There’s a slight chance of precipitation for Sunday’s wild-card playoff matchup between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers.

According to The Weather Channel’s 10-day forecast, the temperature on Sunday night is expected to be 26 degrees with 11 miles per hour winds to the west. There is a 24 percent chance of precipitation, and it is expected to be cloudy when the game kicks off.

A cold and wet night could put more emphasis on the run game and ball security. The Patriots have quietly been one of the best rushing teams in the NFL in recent weeks with Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson both healthy.

They are currently ranked fourth in the league in their last three games with the team averaging 159 rushing yards. That will be a strength they look to lean on regardless of the elements.

Those hoping for a blizzard or typical New England snow game for the visiting Chargers will likely be disappointed. The most those individuals can hope for is rain as the Patriots try to win their first playoff game since Super Bowl LIII.
