In honor of the Chargers quarterback, the Bengals.com weekly weather update for the day of the game is now officially the Philip Rivers Game Weather Report. The last two times Rivers brought San Diego into Paul Brown Stadium, the dates were Dec. 26, 2010 and Jan. 5, 2014 and the weather was a big topic. So at the end of Wednesday’s conference call Rivers asked for a weather report. We told him it would be a San Diego-like 72 degrees and sunny and that’s about right.
According to Friday morning’s National Weather Service report in Wilmington, Ohio, skies move from partly cloudy to mostly sunny during the day with a game-time temperature of 68 degrees and virtually no chance of rain.
