Bears coach Ben Johnson is a relentless researcher and mentioned Monday that with the forecast predicting a high of 18 degrees and a low of 8, this would be the Rams’ coldest game of the season. The closest thing to arctic conditions this season was 45-degree weather for a late-November game at the Panthers.

They played 10 of their 18 games indoors, and haven’t played in under 20 degrees since a 2022 regular-season game at the Packers. It was 15 degrees that day, the coldest game the Rams have played since moving back to Los Angeles in 2016.
