Ben Johnson says Chicago will be the coldest place the Rams have played this year
Rams to Face a Chilly Challenge Against the Bears in Chicago
As the Los Angeles Rams prepare to face off against the Chicago Bears, a different kind of opponent awaits them: the frigid Chicago weather. Forecasts predict snow and temperatures hovering around 20 degrees for the Sunday night game, promising a bone-chilling environment.
The Cold Advantage
Bears coach Ben Johnson embraces the icy conditions, seeing a potential edge against the Rams. "I like the cold," he remarked, acknowledging the weather will be the coldest the Rams have faced this season. Johnson's past experience as the Lions' offensive coordinator has prepared him to utilize such conditions to their advantage.
Preparation and Strategy
Johnson reminisced about practicing outdoors in Detroit to acclimate his team to cold weather. He questions how the Rams, hailing from sunny Los Angeles, will adapt, hinting at the difficulty their Southern California upbringing might pose in such chilly climes.
The Icy Battlefield
While Johnson is confident that his Bears may feel at home amidst the snowflakes, he acknowledges Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford's solid performance in cold games. The true test will be whether these freezing conditions will rattle the Rams or galvanize them to rise against the elements.
