Forecasters predict brutal Soldier Field conditions on Sunday evening: single-digit temperatures, 21 mph winds with gusts up to 30 mph, and a few evening flurries. ❄️💨 This weather could complicate a team that flew in from sunny Southern California, leaving little time to acclimate to the elements.
The Rams are also only 2-8 in their last 10 games at Soldier Field, carrying a staggering -109 point differential in those contests. 📉🥶
The Bears have embraced the cold, with Ben Johnson directing outdoor practices in freezing conditions and no heaters on the sideline. 🧊🏟️ All-Pro safety Kevin Byard noted the team has trained in the cold throughout the season, and Caleb Williams said this is Chicago and that the weather can be an advantage for them. 🎯🧊
Even with the harsh weather, the Rams remain a tough opponent, but their last cold-weather test—a 28-22 loss to the Eagles in the divisional round—shows the chill can bite. The Bears hope their preparation pays off as they aim to pull off another win in this playoff-tinged matchup. 🏈❄️
