The Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears are doing what they can to stay warmduring a chilly playoff game on Sunday.

Some Rams players, for instance, have put cayenne pepper in their socks:

Both teams will have a hot chocolate dispenser and marshmallows on both sidelines. They'll also have a chicken broth dispenser for players and coaches looking for something on the savory side.

Hot chocolate and warm chicken broth are necessary for a game like Sunday's. Temperatures are expected to be in the teens with wind chills near zero degrees at kickoff.

While that kind of weather isn't pleasant for anyone, it will certainly be brutal on the Rams as they're used to playing in a domed stadium and living in warm and sunny Los Angeles.

According to James Neveau of NBC Chicago, teams that play their home games in domed stadiums are just 2-15 in outdoor playoff games with temperatures below freezing since 2000.

The Bears made sure to take care of fans along with their players, as Soldier Field has been equipped with warming centers and concession stands will sell hot chocolate, cider and hand warmers.

If the Bears can manage both the elements and the Rams, they'll be on the way to their first NFC championship game since 2010.
