But Rams coach Sean McVay is not concerned.<\/p>\n<p>McVay said the weather in Chicago won\u2019t be as bad as the Rams faced in two games last season, against the Eagles and Jets, and the weather didn\u2019t affect Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford\u2019s ability to throw the ball in either of those games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know in the cold how the ball feels, but last year was a great example, we had two really cold games,\u201d McVay said. \u201cMatthew\u2019s played in these conditions. So it doesn\u2019t change. There\u2019s a couple things you have to be mindful of, but you start talking about wind, rain, how that affects your footing, we always kind of adjust and adapt. They\u2019ve got to be able to play in those elements \u2014 they have a little more experience, but we\u2019re not going to allow that to be an excuse. I think you have to have a feel, but I think the way that our guys play, I think it suits us well in any sorts of conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McVay said the focus this week isn\u2019t going to be on the weather because the weather is out of their control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to waste our energy on things we can\u2019t control,\u201d McVay said. \u201cI don\u2019t have a weather machine. We do have a lot of guys that have been accustomed to playing in these types of situations, whether it\u2019s previous teams, where they played their college ball in outdoor stadiums. We talk about mental toughness all the time and controlling the things we can control. Let\u2019s control the things we can control. When you\u2019re not on the field stay warm, and then when you\u2019re out there your adrenaline kicks in. The ball is a little bit slicker, it feels like a rock, but other than that, let\u2019s freakin\u2019 roll.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The weather forecast for Soldier Field in Chicago on Sunday night calls for possible snow and temperatures around&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":518195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-518194","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
