Sean McVay’s blunt response to Chicago’s freezing temps for Rams-Bears game: ‘S–t doesn’t matter’

Sean McVay doesn’t fear the cold.

When asked if he would be wearing layers for Sunday’s divisional round matchup against the Bears — in which Soldier Field in Chicago is expected to reach a low of 2 degrees — the Rams head coach said the cold simply does not affect him.

“I’m going shirtless,” McVay said, per NBC Sports. “No, you know what, I will say this, [quarterback] Matthew [Stafford] since he got here, he introduced me to the wetsuit stuff. I’ll wear that. Maybe I’ll have a heated vest. I’ve had some guys that have had that. Here’s what I do know, I can’t think about too many things. I trust whatever [senior director of equipment] Brendan Burger’s got ready for me.

“I’m going to actually get with him after we get done with practice today. He’ll show me everything that he’s got. Usually, it’s a thumbs up. I don’t give a crap about me being warm or cold. That s–t doesn’t matter at all. It’s about our players, but ‘Burg’ takes good care of me.”

When asked if the undergarments would affect him running down the sideline, McVay assured he is in good enough shape to not let it impact his coaching.

“I’m an athlete,” McVay said. “I’ll be in good shape, man. Don’t you worry about me. We’ll be good. Don’t worry. What do you think, I’m going to dress up like the Michelin man or something? No, we’ll be good. All kidding aside, ‘Burg’ has always done a really good job of outfitting me and it hasn’t been an issue.
