Beyond a superior record and an edge on the injury report, the Green Bay Packers will have another factor on their side on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints: the weather.
The Saints — who are of course a warm-weather team that plays in a dome — have played in exactly one game in the last 14 years where the temperature at kickoff was below freezing. That’s according to one breakdown of the weather forecast for the teams’ week 16 game, set for Monday Night Football.
That’s a fun storyline heading into this weekend, particularly with the forecast calling for some snow on Monday.
