The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans might have more than just each other to worry about in Week 3. Bad weather around the East Coast is threatening to mess with Sunday’s game at MetLife Stadium.

The weather already caused a wild scene outside the stadium. Strong wind gusts pushed three gray porta-potties across a slick parking lot. A white cargo van sat nearby as a bystander shouted, “Heads up!” while the portable toilets moved across the pavement.

Rain and strong winds could continue through the game. The forecast calls for a 59% to 88% chance of rain, with steady winds above 20 mph and gusts reaching more than 36 mph.

The forecast calls for temperatures around 65 degrees at MetLife Stadium. Rain could continue throughout the game, with the chance of precipitation rising as the afternoon goes on.

Wet conditions could make the field dangerous. Players could have a harder time keeping their footing. The rain could also make it tougher to catch and secure the ball. That could bring more slips, drops, and fumbles into play.

The wind could create an even bigger issue. Sustained winds above 20 mph can make passing the ball downfield difficult. The conditions could force both teams to rely more on their running games.

The kicking game could also face problems. Strong winds often make longer field-goal attempts harder. That could lead the Giants and Titans to consider going for it on fourth down instead.

Lightning could create the biggest concern, however. NFL games do not stop simply because of rain. Officials do stop play when lightning strikes within 10 miles of the stadium.

Once officials call a lightning delay, they must wait at least 30 minutes after the last nearby strike before restarting play. Players then need time to warm up before the game resumes.

Last Sunday, the Buccaneers and Browns were delayed by 2 hours and 12 minutes. Cleveland led 23-19 when the delay began, with Tampa Bay driving near the two-minute warning.
