How is Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler preparing for the freezing weather against the Packers?

New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler followed an unorthodox plan to prepare for the frigid conditions at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

On “Monday Night Football,” the Green Bay Packers (10-4) host the Saints (5-9) at 8:15 p.m. ET. According to the Weather Channel forecast, On Monday, the temperature could drop to 25 degrees and there could be snow.

Saints QB coach Andrew Janocko recently took Rattler and the other QBs to the team’s freezer in his cafeteria to help them acclimate to the freezing temperatures.

“This morning, Janocko took us into the freezer in the cafeteria, where it was like 10 degrees, and we’re going through the whole scenario in there, and so just doing that, it helped a lot,” Rattler told ESPN. Katherine Terrell. “So, hopefully it’s not 10 degrees, but we’ll be ready.”

Janocko told Terrell that the 1993 Disney film “Cool Runnings,” loosely based on the first Jamaican Olympic bobsled team, inspired his idea. In the film, a character sits in an ice cream truck to prepare for the cold.

Janocko also has plenty of experience preparing for cold weather having coached with the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears from 2015-23.

“I think we said something about just preparing for the cold, so you’re not shocked, and it’s not something surprising,” the QB coach said. “It’s something you have to deal with as you prepare for the opponent and for the venue. So, I just thought it was good to do something a little bit different. At this time of year, it’s fun to do different things It’s a long season and sometimes something other than just going to a meeting day after day, just doing something different, a change of scenery Guys. found it hilarious. The cafeteria workers think I am. mad.

Rattler replaces injured starting quarterback Derek Carr (hand) for the second time this season. The Oklahoma/South Carolina product is 0-3 in three starts and has the same number of TD passes and interceptions (two) in four games.

To upset the Packers, the Saints need Rattler to warm up. From Sunday, ESPN Bet ranks New Orleans as a 14-point underdog.
