Given that a significant snowstorm is predicted to hit one of the NFL’s cities in Week 8, the league may play its first snow game of the 2023 season.
Weather expert Chris Bianchi has projected a considerable amount of precipitation, with the Denver area expected to receive several inches of snow, despite the fact that it is still early for such weather patterns in relation to an NFL season.
Field conditions will probably be impacted by the snowfall, as Bianchi notes that there is a 60% possibility of five to ten inches of snow and a 30% chance of eleven to fourteen inches.
Updated confidence forecast for Denver.
60% chance of 5-10" of snow, 30% chance of 11-14".

For NFL fans, all of this suggests a snow debut. Typically, November and December bring this kind of weather, but Denver seems to be ahead of schedule in this aspect. This season, the Broncos had already faced the Chiefs in Arrowhead; on that occasion, they lost 19-8 despite their defense providing them with enough points. With the conditions expected, it might be even harder to defeat the Chiefs at home.
