Great googly moogly
As the remnants from Tropical Storm Ophelia work into the northeast, weather could be a factor in multiple NFL games this Sunday. Clashes between the Washington Commanders and the Buffalo Bills at FedEx Field, the tilt between the Baltimore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts in Baltimore, and the AFC East battle between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets could all see wet conditions.
An early impact in that AFC East clash? The end zone.
White paint from the end zones at MetLife Stadium seems to have come off, turning the end zone into a sea of white footprints.
Zack Cox, who covers the Patriots for NESN, was the first to make note of the situation:

Zack Rosenblatt, who covers the Jets for The Athletic, made the same observation:

On the bright side, at least they didn’t spell the team as the “JEETS” or something.
