CHICAGO — It has been called Soldier Field for a century, but when Matthew Stafford and the Rams are greeted by howling, bundled-up Bears fans — emboldened by a wind and a chill fully capable of an icy Arctic ambush 60 minutes from the NFC Championship game — they will be forced to confront a diabolical night that will turn the place into Coldier Field.
It won’t be any Ice Bowl or Freezer Bowl, but this will be a veritable football igloo that will demand that Stafford, in no uncertain terms, be Ram-tough and the cold-blooded, weather-proof quarterback who would embrace the possibility of a shootout with Caleb Williams.
They call Joe Burrow “Joe Brrrr” because of the bling he wears.
Matthew Stafford isn’t known for his bling. A second ring is his thing.
