Why Matthew Stafford Will Wear Scuba Suit vs. Bears amid Latest Weather Forecast in Chicago

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will wear a scuba suit to stay warm during the team's upcoming clash with the Chicago Bears in the divisional round of the playoffs at Soldier Field.

"I've worn it quite a few times since I've been here," Stafford told ESPN's John Keim. "It keeps you warmer. That's how it affects me. It's not skintight or anything like that."

Stafford started wearing a scuba suit when playing in the cold weather during his tenure with the Detroit Lions from 2009 through 2020, per Keim.

For the Rams' matchup with the Bears in Chicago, temperatures could drop to single digits and reach a low of two degrees while snow flurries are also a possibility (via Anthony Gharib of ABC 7 Chicago).

Los Angeles will look to stay hot offensively after ending the regular season with the NFL's No. 1 passing attack.

Stafford put together a stellar 2025 campaign, completing 65.0 percent of his throws for a league-leading 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns. He also tossed just eight interceptions.

He'll be going up against a Chicago defense that paced the NFL with 33 takeaways during the regular season.

Kickoff between the Bears and Rams is on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
