The Chicago Bears and the Cleveland Browns face off in Chicago in Week 15, and with the expected temperatures to be well below freezing, both sides will have to deal with the elements.
ESPN's Courtney Cronin notes that the temperatures have a high of 10 degrees on Sunday, which will make quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Shedeur Sanders have a tough task dealing with the elements.
But Williams is unfazed by the cold weather. Cronin shared William's thoughts on the cold, and the Bears' franchise quarterback is not letting the cold bother him this week.
Bears' Caleb Williams not bothered by 10-degree temperature
"I believe that weather and the elements don't bother me," Williams said of the expected high of 10 degrees on Sunday against the Browns.
The Bears get a tough Browns defense in Week 15, so Williams will already have a tough time moving the ball up and down the field. The cold will likely only make things worse.
But Williams is emphasizing he's ready for this moment, as the 9-4 Bears look to bounce back after a Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Facing major swings in playoff percentages with a win or a loss, potentially falling below 50% with a loss, according to ESPN Research, a win this week is huge.

Fortunately, the Bears' run game should help make things easier for Williams and the offense. Add on that the Bears' defense is one of the best at forcing turnovers, and rookie Shedeur Sanders has been prone to turnovers this season, and it's a Bears advantage this week.
While the cold weather should even things out a bit, the Bears still hold a distinct advantage over the Browns this weekend. It's Week 15, and the Bears with a win, and a win in Week 16 over the Packers, could leap back into the NFC North lead.
But, they first need to beat Myles Garrett and the Browns in the cold. Williams says he's unfazed, and time will tell how well he handles the elements this week.
