NFL playoffs 2016: Wild Card weekend weather forecast

The 2016 NFL playoffs begin Saturday with two games in Houston and Cincinnati. Weather could be an issue for one game but not the other.

The NFL playoffs begin this weekend with the Wild Card round. There is a lot of talk about the extreme cold in Minnesota for the Vikings-Seahawks game on Sunday, but there are still two games to play on Saturday: Chiefs at Texans, and Steelers at Bengals.

It appears the weather could be wet and chilly for Saturday night’s game in Cincinnati for the Steelers and Bengals as a system moves in during the evening. In Houston for the Chiefs and Texans Saturday afternoon, the game will be mostly sunny and nice, with temperatures in the 60s.
