The Ravens’ preparation for Sunday’s game against the Bills involves more than preparing for what they will see the Bills try to do on the field during the game.
They are also preparing for the cold conditions in Buffalo. The current forecast is for temperatures well below freezing for kickoff at 6:30 PM ET and the Ravens are adjusting their practice routine to that scenario. They were indoors Wednesday because their outdoor practice field was frozen, but head coach John Harbaugh said they made sure the building felt like it was outdoors, and he predicts things will be even colder for the session in Thursday.
“We got it as cold as we can inside here right now and it’s going to be even colder tomorrow when I’m going to shut off all the water here so the pipes don’t freeze,” Harbaugh said via the team’s website. “So we’re going to be cold. We’d love to be outside, but we just can’t. The fields are too hard and too frozen.”
The forecast says it will be the coldest game of quarterback Lamar Jackson’s career, but Jackson is 3-1 when the temperature drops below freezing and he said he won’t be changing his approach. He’ll wear a heavy jacket while he finds the heaters on the side, but said he “leaves that to ‘Teddy two gloves,’ Teddy Bridgewater,” when asked about wearing gloves for extra protection.
