The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a potentially wintry encounter with the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. As of Thursday night, weather predictions suggest temperatures could plummet to a high of 33 degrees and a low of 16 degrees, with possible snowfall. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET, which organizers hope will be early enough to avoid the brunt of any winter conditions. However, given the unpredictable nature of weather forecasts several days out, teams must remain vigilant and prepared for any scenario.

Eagles' left tackle Jordan Mailata expressed his candid thoughts on facing cold weather. "It's miserable," he said during a press conference on Thursday, drawing laughter from reporters. Despite his personal feelings, Mailata acknowledged the advantage of playing at home, where players have acclimated to such conditions. The team’s resilience in adverse weather was notably demonstrated in 2013 when they faced the Detroit Lions in what became known as the “Snow Bowl.” LeSean McCoy's outstanding performance under those harsh conditions led to a decisive victory for the Eagles.

The Eagles are optimistic that whatever weather conditions arise on Sunday will work in their favor. They aim to secure a win against the Rams, advancing them closer to the NFC championship. Regardless of the forecast, the team remains focused on delivering a strong performance, leveraging their familiarity with local weather patterns to gain an edge over their opponents.
