How quickly has his growth sort of already started to show in the playoffs and what happens with him moving forward?

I think it was Alex Smith, the old quarterback, who said that he sees the Rams putting 50 up against the Bears about how bad their defense is.

The Bears have given up 50 before in a game.

I'm not saying it can't happen, but it seems like Dennis Allen kind of has a pretty good feel for what he's doing, and he changed the way they played and the way things were going at halftime of that game.

Great stuff, Brian.

Thank you a ton.

Really appreciate it.

Thanks, Brian.

That was Odyssey NFL insider Brian Baldinger.

Yeah, no, I don't think this is about bare weather or cold weather or anything else.

I think this is about Ben Johnson.

And every time you turn around, you find out, oh, yeah, you know, he showed him that Super Bowl comeback back in training camp.

Oh, well, he's been saying this all along.

And he has this idea.

I mean, it's literally every time you turn around, the guy has done some kind of magical coaching thing.

and it makes you kind of appreciate him even more, and that's what we're finding out here.

When they do a walkthrough, they do it indoors.

When they go onto the field, they do that because, in part, they want everybody used to what it's like on game day when you're out in the cold, and there's no heaters, and the players may complain about it, but that's probably for the best in terms of what they're going to face.

On Sunday.

So is there a home field advantage to that?
