Interesting game balls can’t be kept warm. You would think under league supervision that would be ideal for producing better product. We saw some of the drops last week they were referencing but most compelling is how gripping ball is impacted for QBs. And Mahomes choice to wear no gloves. He missed badly on a few deep throws last week. Finally I wouldn’t be opposed to some of the warming devices on the Pats sideline mysteriously malfunctioning. Then again that’s a very Patriots thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 After spending the last half hour outside preparing for tomorrow, its obvious the passing game would be limited by the wind chill right now which is a big disadvantage to the Chiefs. Let’s hope it feels at least 10-15 degrees warmer as forecasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
