Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins isn’t sweating a trip to Lambeau Field.
Fitting, considering Haskins won’t be doing much sweating at all during a game against the Green Bay Packers where the forecast calls for a high of 40 degrees Sunday.
On this topic, Haskins said Wednesday that his prior college experience will come into play here, according to Ryan Fowler of the team’s official website: “I’ve played in some cold games in the Big Ten… handwarmers, soup, chicken broth, all that”
Indeed, some cold games in Michigan, Illinois and otherwise defined some of Haskins’ collegiate career.
Looking ahead to Sunday, another terribly cold game in a hostile environment tasks Haskins with challenging Aaron Rodgers in a head-to-head matchup.
For Haskins, at least the elements and crowd noise won’t be as big of a surprise as a duel with Rodgers.
