Cleveland Browns at Kansas City Chiefs Weather:

When the Cleveland Browns attempt to upset another playoff opponent in the NFL on Sunday, the weather projects to be hovering around two degrees Celsius (35 Fahrenheit) for the 3:25 pm EST kickoff. Temperatures could dip below freezing but Weather.com does not call for any precipitation.

Patrick Mahomes has commented that he likes snow games, but it doesn't appear he will get one in the Divisional round

“I think I’m a snow game guy," Mahomes said in October, as reported by The Spun. "I don’t know why, but I kind of like it. Everything’s just super slow and I’m just out here, like, standing straight in the pocket.”


Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints Weather:

Though New Orleans projects to have the nicest weather for their 6:40 pm EST kickoff in the NFL Divisional round, weather will not directly impact the game. The Saints play in the Mercedes Benz Superdome, one of the NFL's eight domed stadiums.
