Well, it appears the weather will play a huge factor in this Sunday’s marquee matchup between the Cowboys and Bills.
The first full forecast from the National Weather Service shows an 80 percent chance of rain this Sunday. There’ll also be 15-18 mph wind throughout the game, with certain gusts reaching up 31 mph.
Obviously, that’s not ideal for two teams that love to air out the football. The Cowboys have been hot of late in large part due to their passing attack.
The Bills, on the other hand, are just a few weeks removed from facing the Eagles in the pouring rain. That game went into overtime. Interestingly enough, Josh Allen thrived in that brutal weather.
Cowboys-Bills game now has its first full forecast from National Weather Service, which waits until late in week for improved accuracy.
Sunday forecast in Orchard Park: 15-18 mph wind, gusts up to 31 mph. Chance of rain: 80%. High near 50. Wind impacts passing/kicking game. https://t.co/x2DyeSphi8
