Commanders-Giants Game Faces Thunderstorms and Hail as Teams Revisit 27-27 Tie

Summary
Wet, windy weather with possible thunderstorms and hail is forecast for Thursday night at MetLife Stadium, setting up another rain-affected Commanders-Giants matchup.
The teams already played through nor'easter conditions in their first meeting, a 27-27 tie in Landover, and New York has gone 3-1 at home despite repeated bad-weather games.
Cam Skattebo's expected return could push the Giants toward a run-heavy plan after they managed just 80 rushing yards against Philadelphia; they ran for 103 yards in similarly poor conditions against Washington.
Washington may be more vulnerable on the ground and less explosive overall without Jacory Croskey-Merritt, while the Giants are expected to use Arvell Reese to help contain Jayden Daniels' rushing threat.
