Weather Forecast For Baltimore Ravens-Buffalo Bills Could Pose Issues

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Ryan Brooks | Last updated Jan 16, 2025 9:54 AM ET

The Baltimore Ravens dismantled their rival Pittsburgh Steelers early in Wild Card Weekend. The 28-14 matchup was never really close as Derrick Henry dominated out of the backfield.

Set to take on the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round, the Ravens are done hosting in the playoffs as they've got to head to Orchard Park for the contest.

The contest is a high-quality one featuring two of the three assumed Super Bowl contenders in the AFC -- and two MVP-caliber quarterbacks in Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.

The two sides met early in the NFL regular season, with the Ravens dismantling the Bills 35-10. It wasn't a close contest in primetime, though plenty of football has since been played from both sides.

However, there could be one major issue in the contest, and it has nothing to do with either team involved, but instead the weather forecast for Highmark Stadium ahead of the game.

Ahead of the contest, the "feels like" temperature is projected to be in the single digits Fahrenheit at the time of kickoff, with that number expected to keep falling throughout the game.

Many will claim this is football weather, but it's a terrible weather condition to be outside during, and facing a stout running back like Henry in that cold weather might just hurt.

The two sides will be facing the same weather, and they could be impacted by the extreme cold during the matchup.

As the Bills look to get revenge for an early season blunder, the Ravens are looking to solidify themselves as a Super Bowl contender.

In doing so, the two teams will have to face extreme cold and will have to remain extra sharp during the conditions to execute in the matchup.
