Packers Bench Goes Cold in Windy City Showdown
21 Dec
Summary
- Packers' sideline heaters were non-functional for at least part of the game.
- The offensive line's heated bench also failed to operate.
- Green Bay's heating systems were restored by the third quarter.
The Green Bay Packers experienced significant discomfort during their NFC North clash with the Chicago Bears on Saturday night. The visiting team's sideline heaters were found to be inoperable for at least a portion of the first half. This malfunction extended to the offensive line's heated bench, leaving players exposed to the elements.
According to reports, the Bears' heating equipment was functioning correctly, highlighting the issue faced by the Packers. The extreme cold at Soldier Field likely exacerbated the discomfort and potential performance impact for Green Bay's players during the crucial game.
Fortunately for the Packers, the situation improved as a team spokesman confirmed that their heating systems were back in working order by the third quarter, bringing much-needed warmth back to the sidelines.
