For the entire week leading up to the Ravens’ AFC Divisional matchup with the Bills, players have been repeatedly asked about the impact of the weather.
For some, like Canada-born defenders Tavius Robinson and Brent Urban, Sunday’s cold temperatures will be business as usual. Isaiah Likely, originally from Cambridge, Massachusetts, said he’s “been playing in the cold since he was a baby.”
The list goes on: Rashod Bateman and Daniel Faalele both played in Minnesota in college. Tyler Linderbaum went to Iowa, Patrick Ricard to Maine, and Travis Jones to UConn. Players like Roquan Smith, Kyle Van Noy, and Michael Pierce all had NFL stints in cold-weather states.
