Last night’s NFL Divisional Round matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears at Soldier Field unfolded in below-freezing temperatures. The Rams fought through four quarters and overtime to win, earning a spot in the NFC Championship against the Seattle Seahawks. ❄️🏈
In a bid to combat the icy conditions, several Rams players adopted an unorthodox tactic: stuffing Cayenne pepper into their socks. McCormick Ground Cayenne was the pepper of choice. 🌶️🧦
Nose tackle Poona Ford explained the approach and said it helped him keep his feet warm after the kickoff. “It helps,” Ford noted. 🗣️🔥
The quirky method accompanied a successful performance as the Rams outlasted the Bears, with Harrison Mevis drilling the game-winning field goal in overtime. ⏱️🎯
The victory advances Los Angeles to the NFC Championship against the Seattle Seahawks. 🏆🗺️
