By KatWeek three action in the NFL will be in full force on Sunday as teams start to take shape and fans get a better idea of how their team will perform this year.
Here is a look at several games where weather could be a factor:

Green Bay at Washington - 1 p.m. EDT
The Packers will travel east to Washington, D.C., on Sunday to take on the Redskins.
Rain is expected to dampen FedEx Field throughout the day, potentially making for slick field conditions.
Tailgaters should be prepared with tents and rain jackets.
Conditions will be cool with a high in the upper 60s by kickoff.
Light winds won't have an impact on play.
Tennessee at Jacksonville - 1 p.m. EDT
The Titans will make their way south to play the Jaguars at EverBank Field in Jacksonville.
Heat and humidity will be the major concerns for any pre-game tailgating and once play starts. Morning highs will reach the 80s, but added humidity will push AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures into the mid-90s.
By kickoff, the RealFeel® temperatures will approach 95 F.
The heat will hold throughout the game, which could lead to cramp issues for players. Fans should stay hydrated throughout the game.
