Football fans get romantic about playing a game in the snow. Battling the weather and showing toughness in frigid temperatures seems to take the game to its base elements.
However, the players slipping, sliding and freezing in that snow may not necessarily feel the same way. New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott admitted that he once felt the same way, but that changed once he actually had to work in snow.
“When I was younger, always wanted to play a game in the snow,” Elliott told reporters, including The Athletic’s Chad Graff. “Now that I’ve played a game in the snow, it kind of sucks.”
