Firing up the grill for Thursday Night Football on FOX? Check out the forecast

And check out this tasty Cleveland-themed recipe from Dr. BBQ

CLEVELAND - Thursday Night Football is on FOX – and you’re not going to miss this week’s matchup.

The Cleveland Browns (3-3) host the Denver Broncos (3-3) with kickoff at FirstEnergy Stadium set for 8:20 p.m. Eastern.

It may not be the best grilling forecast in Cleveland. Rain is expected in the morning and will continue into the afternoon. Expect highs into the upper 60s with winds of about 15 to 25 mph. It will remain cloudy with some showers possible around kickoff, and temperatures will cool into the mid-50s.

It’s a bit of a better situation in Denver, though. Temperatures are expected to be near 70 during the day with cloudy skies and winds of about 5 to 10 mph. In the evening is gets much cooler. Temperatures will drop into the upper 30s with clear skies and light wind.
