Week 14 Thursday Game: Hines Ward And The Weather Are Questionable

The Pittsburgh Steelers visit the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football kicking off Week 14 in the NFL, and kicking off the fantasy playoffs for most leagues. The playoffs are when fantasy becomes real, as in real nerve-wracking. You’ve spent all season trying to build a roster and win games just to get in the playoffs. If you’re there, you agonize over every roster move from here on out. And nothing feels better than making the right roster moves on Thursday and getting a jump on your opponent; or feels worse than blowing a roster spot on a dud and putting yourself in a hole before the weekend even arrives.

Here’s probably the number one thing you need to keep in mind about the game on Thursday night - the weather is going to be brutal according to the forecast. Predictions say the temperature will be around 19 degrees (wind chill brings that to 0 degrees), there’s a good chance of some snow showers, and the wind is expected to be around 25 MPH. If all that comes to pass, the passing games of both teams could suffer.
