Patriots Can Clinch AFC East in Bills Visit as Light Snow Looms at Frigid Gillette

Forecasts call for 20s at kickoff, wind chills near 20, with morning snow possible before tapering near the 1 p.m. start.

Overview

  • Most projections point to light snow in Foxborough Sunday morning with clearing likely into the afternoon, keeping a chance for flakes near kickoff.
  • The National Weather Service outlines regional totals around one to two inches south of I-90 with higher amounts closer to the south coast, while AccuWeather lists a high chance of snowfall.
  • The Weather Channel expects morning snow giving way to partial clearing, with game-time temperatures holding below freezing.
  • A New England win would secure the team’s first AFC East title since 2019 in a matchup the Patriots prepared for with outdoor sessions following their bye.
  • Gillette Stadium’s layout should limit wind on the field, but fans are advised to dress for upper-20s tailgating and low-20s wind chills during the game, and snow would mark the team’s first such game since 2023.
