A Bears fan looks on during cold weather.

Minutes after the Vikings win, Bears players were touting the fact that their remaining five games were all outdoors.

“We’re gonna have to be able to rely on our run game,” tight end Cole Kmet said then.

Wednesday, running back D’Onta Foreman said that “these games are going to come down to the wire,” in part because “it’s going to be cold.”

Playing at Soldier Field in the coldest temperatures the Bears have seen since last Christmas Eve figures to be an edge against the Lions, who are housed in a dome.
