The Baltimore Ravens aren't just strategizing for their Sunday night game against the Buffalo Bills; they're also getting ready for the chill. With temperatures expected to drop below freezing by kickoff, the team has adjusted their practice routine. On Wednesday, they practiced indoors due to frozen outdoor fields. Head coach John Harbaugh ensured the indoor facility felt as cold as possible, with plans to make it even colder for Thursday's practice. "We've cranked up the AC as much as we can, " Harbaugh said. "Tomorrow, we'll turn off the water to prevent pipes from freezing. " He admitted that while they'd prefer to practice outdoors, the frozen fields make it impossible. This game is set to be the coldest in quarterback Lamar Jackson's career. Despite the forecast, Jackson remains undeterred. With a 3-1 record in sub-freezing temperatures, he plans to stick to his usual routine. He'll wear a heavy jacket and seek out sideline heaters, but when it comes to gloves, he jokingly defers to "Teddy Two Gloves, " Teddy Bridgewater.
