  • Johnson acknowledges this will be the coldest game the Rams have played this season but notes quarterback Matthew Stafford has experience playing well in cold weather.
  • Johnson, with experience coaching in Detroit, emphasizes the importance of practicing in cold outdoor conditions to acclimate players, a strategy he doubts the Rams have effectively implemented.
  • The Bears coach hopes the harsh Chicago winter weather will give his team a competitive edge by making the Rams uncomfortable during their January visit.
