The field and stands were cleared less than two hours before kickoff Thursday at MetLife Stadium because of severe weather in the area. Players and coaches who were out early for warmups were ordered back into the locker room, and the fans who were braving the heavy rain to sit in the stands draped in ponchos were ordered into the concourse area. “For your safety, we are going to have everyone leave the Seating Bowl area and take shelter inside of the stadium because of severe weather in the area,” a stadium announcement read.
