Burrow went 40-52 and Mac Jones went 21-33. Cold weather didn't seem to hamper their passing games since both QB's threw for pretty much their season averages. In Burrows case even above his season avergae for accuracy.
IMO, the issue with passing in bad weather isn't so much the cold rather the 20-30 mph winds.
They reported. that we had those duringour game. I don't know about the wind during Cincy game.
And the temp at the start of the Cincy game was 17 with a wind chill of +4-That equates to about 10 mph wind.
I checked accuweather for Cleveland about an hour before the game and it was 6 degrees air temp with a wind chill of -23. On the wind chill calculator, that is winds of 25-30 mph.
the next closest game the saints played in was almost 30 years ago and the game time temp was 24 in Philly.
This was a perfect day to use our top ranked o-line and running backs and use a slip screen or a DW scramble. We didn't use them enough when it mattered.
