The Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams will cap off divisional-round weekend when they do battle at Soldier Field on Sunday night.
Having to go play a game in January in the elements in Chicago is a brutal situation for Los Angeles, a dome team that is not accustomed to playing in cold weather.
And those elements will definitely be present on Sunday, although we would not say the Bears are going to be immune to them, even with the team's experience playing outside in cold-weather games.
Here's a look at the full forecast and how it impacts both teams.
Bears vs. Rams weather forecast
According to AccuWeather.com, it will be brutally cold, with the temperature expected to sit around 20 degrees throughout the contest.
That's going to stink for both teams, but especially for the Rams, who aren't used to playing in this kind of cold.
Snow could also be a factor, especially in the first half, but only flurries are anticipated as the game goes on.
Of course, snow sets the stage for slick conditions that can lead to more fumbles, dropped passes and poor footing, the latter of which can impact both offense and defense.
Last but certainly not least, get ready for wind to be a factor, with gusts expected to hit as high as 27 MPH. Anything 20 MPH and over can be a problem for passing attacks and kickers.
Luckily, both teams have effective, two-headed rushing attacks, so the Bears and Rams are well-equipped to lean on the run more if necessary.
