Not many fans expected the LA Chargers and New England Patriots to get the Sunday night slot during NFL Wild Card Weekend. That decision to pit those teams against each other at that time very well may have a big impact on the final outcome due to one key factor: weather.
New England is used to playing in its fair share of bad weather as an outdoor team while the Chargers aren't used to bracing the elements at SoFi Stadium. However, despite this, it's the warm-weather Chargers who have an advantage on Sunday night.
It's going to be a chilly night in Foxborough with a high of 35 degrees Fahrenheit and real-feel temperatures in the 20s during the game.
