The Baltimore Ravens\u2019 trip to Buffalo for the AFC Divisional round may be a very cold one, but quarterback Lamar Jackson is turning down one big change that could help deal with the conditions.<\/p>\n

Single-digit temperatures\u00a0are in the forecast for Sunday\u2019s game\u00a0between the Ravens and Bills, presenting a new set of challenges for both teams. Jackson is aware of the issue, and he told reporters Wednesday that he would consult with the equipment staff about how to combat the cold. One thing he will not do, however, is wear gloves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried it in practice. I was horrible,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cI\u2019ll leave that up to Teddy Two-Gloves, Teddy Bridgewater.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to win. It really don\u2019t matter. I can\u2019t go into a game and be like, \u2018Man, it\u2019s too cold, I can\u2019t make things happen.\u2019 Coach would probably send me home.\u201d<\/p>\n
