The 2-11 Giants are set to host the 3-10 Commanders in a divisional rematch of their Week 1 contest, which the Commanders won 21-6 at home. But in Week 15, the two teams suit up at MetLife, and there is more than a competition waiting for them. It’s snow. Supporters heading to East Rutherford today must prioritize survival over scoreboard hopes.

“Parking Advisory: For fans traveling to the game today, please be advised that snow is in the process of being cleared from MetLife Stadium parking lots,” New York Giants posted on X. “Some areas may continue to be affected as crews clear. Please use caution and allow extra time for arrival.”

Right now, East Rutherford battles heavy snow under a bone-chilling 28 degrees Fahrenheit, with winds whipping it to a brutal 15.8 degrees Fahrenheit. A winter weather advisory grips the area from 10 p.m. Saturday until the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, slashing visibility to under 1.8 miles amid thick haze. 

AccuWeather predicts up to 3 inches of snow piling up through the advisory window, blanketing roads and stands before it eases late morning. The attendees are urged to layer in cozy gear or face frostbite on exposed skin in mere minutes once temps crash to the low 20s post-game. The evening RealFeel plunges to 7 degrees by 7 p.m. and 4 degrees by 11 p.m.

These icy hurdles now loom large for Jaxson Dart and his Giants squad on a seven-game losing streak. With MetLife set to turn into a frozen battlefield, the team heads into Week 15 desperate for any edge.

Can Jaxson Dart break the Giants’ skid in the snow?

The Giants emerge from their bye week with playoff dreams long buried; even Mike Kafka couldn’t spark a turnaround. Their last outing against New England ended in a 33-15 thrashing, where the offense mustered just 239 yards, and the defense surrendered 395. Snow-slicked fields could amplify those woes against a Commanders team hungry for wins.

This Week 15 clash piles on health worries for the Giants, especially with their quarterback’s habit of dancing into danger. Offensive coordinator Tim Kelly brushes them off as “aggressive and not reckless,” but fans and pundits see Dart’s style as a ticking injury clock in these frigid conditions.

“No, look, I understand the question, but this is football,” Dart said after the Week 13 game. “I’m going to get hit if I’m in the pocket or outside the pocket. I feel like I played this way my whole entire life. It shouldn’t be any shocker to anybody if you followed along with my career.”

For Dart, however, the risk of injury is simply part of the game. But for the Giants, this matchup at home brings some hope, especially since their only two wins this season happened right there at MetLife. Could this be the spot where Dart & Co. snap the losing streak?
