New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills weather report: Latest on Highmark Stadium conditions for Week 17 showdown

The New York Jets and Buffalo Bills will play a divisional game in Week 17 of the NFL regular season. Both teams have contrasting records entering the matchup.

The Jets have long been eliminated from the playoff picture, while the Bills are one of the teams to watch in the playoffs. Ahead of their showdown, let's examine the weather forecast.

New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills weather report

According to Pro Football Network, there will likely be rain at Highmark Stadium in Week 17. The report has the chances of rain at over 90% at kickoff.

Furthermore, the temperature could reach the mid-50s. The wind is projected to be between 14 and 20 mph from the south, with gusts reaching 40 mph.

How are the Jets and Bills performing this season?

The New York Jets are enduring yet another disappointing regular season. The Jets started the season with optimism as they had a fully fit Aaron Rodgers to rely upon in their postseason hunt. Some analysts even had them as Super Bowl dark horses in the preseason predictions.

However, the season hasn't gone to plan for the New York Jets fan base. That's because the franchise is 4-11 to start the season, and they haven't recorded back-to-back wins since Week 3. They've been out of the playoff picture for a while and enter the penultimate game of the season with questions surrounding the futures of Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and other key players.

The Buffalo Bills are having a very different season in comparison, and their fan base couldn't be more thrilled. The Bills are cruising toward the postseason thanks to their mercurial dual-threat quarterback Josh Allen, his versatile receiver corps, and an underrated defense.

The Buffalo Bills enter Week 17 with a 12-3 record and are the only franchise to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 regular season. They also got a famous win over the Detroit Lions in Week 15 in what may be a potential Super Bowl rehearsal. Hence, it's expected that Allen and Co. will pile on the misery when the Jets visit in Week 17.
