The New England Patriots will play their last home game of the season on Sunday against the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round.

The home-field advantage will come with some winter weather in Foxborough, Massachusetts. 

Quarterbacks Drake Maye and C.J. Stroud may have some snow to deal with.

That also won't help the kicking game for Andy Borregales and Ka'imi Fairbairn.

Patriots-Texans weather forecast

The game is slated to kick off at 3 p.m. ET.

At that time in Foxborough, according to Weather.com, it'll be 34 degrees with a 45% chance of precipitation.

That chance of precipitation rises to 66% at 4 p.m., 86% at 5 p.m. And 96% at 6 p.m.

Even if the snow isn't quite falling at the start of the game, it seems it will start by the end.

The temperature also drops a few degrees over the course of the game.

The one bit of good news is a lack of wind, with Weather.com's forecast showing five miles per hour or less all afternoon and evening for wind in Foxborough.

But it'll definitely be a gray, wintry kind of day for the Pats and Texans.
