One week after playing the last minutes of the game in a deluge in Cincinnati the Patriots will play in better weather at Foxboro on Sunday. That is good news for the players and the fans as the weather looks like a relative non-factor for the matchup with the unbeaten New Orleans Saints. High pressure moving south from Eastern Canada will offer fair, seasonable weather in Southern New England.
It is a 4:25 pm start, so most of the game will be played under the lights as the sun sets at 6:05 pm on Sunday. The scenery should be very nice for tailgaters as the foliage is peaking in the Foxboro area.
