The weather forecast for Soldier Field in Chicago on Sunday night indicates possible snow and temperatures around 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Bears coach Ben Johnson highlighted that this would be the coldest game for the Rams this season.
Rams coach Sean McVay stated he is not concerned about the weather conditions. McVay referenced two cold games the Rams played last season against the Eagles and Jets, noting that the weather did not impact quarterback Matthew Stafford's throwing ability in those instances.
McVay emphasized Stafford's prior experience in cold conditions. He acknowledged that while factors like wind and rain can affect footing, the team always adjusts. He asserted that the Rams would not use the weather as an excuse and believed their play style suited various conditions.
McVay stated that the team's focus for the week would not be on the weather, as it is an uncontrollable factor. He mentioned that many players have experience playing in similar conditions from previous teams or college careers in outdoor stadiums. McVay stressed the importance of mental toughness and controlling controllable aspects, such as staying warm off the field.
