Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner was asked about cold weather concerns, which has been a consistent topic this week as the team travels to Chicago to face the Bears on Sunday.

"Coach [Mike] Zimmer and I were laughing about it, everyone talks about this cold weather," Turner said.

It's not the cold weather that concerns Turner, it's the possibility of heavy winds, precipitation and slippery footing during the game. There's a 10 percent chance for rain with winds whipping around 15 miles an hour in Chicago on Sunday.

Soldier Field was resodded for the third time since August prior to the Vikings-Bears matchup, per the Chicago Sun-Times.

"I think those are the things that are tough," Turner said. "If it's just cold like it is outside, I think you can go throw the ball and throw it at a high level."

Rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has already dealt with a few games with tricky wind patterns at TCF Bank Stadium and Buffalo. Bridgewater went 15 of 26 for 157 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions during Week 5 against the Bills. Two weeks ago against Washington when the uprights swayed at points during the game, Bridgewater went 26 of 42 for 368 yards and a touchdown.

"His ball cuts through the wind pretty good," Turner said. "I don't see the wind as being a problem. We practice out here, and he's thrown it really well.

"I think first off it starts with mindset, and I don't think there's a whole lot of things that will affect Teddy mentally. If you don't let it affect you mentally, then you go out and you compete in the situation and you adjust depending on how bad it is."

One of the biggest knocks on Bridgewater's performance against Washington was his deep ball, which could be impacted if there's a strong wind at Soldier Field. Bridgewater missed wide receiver Greg Jennings on a deep route during the first play of scrimmage and later couldn't connect with a wide open Cordarrelle Patterson.

Turner once again reiterated that he wasn't concerned with Bridgewater's ability to stretch the field.

"I think he's capable of being an outstanding deep ball thrower and there's a lot of things involved," Turner said. "Early we didn't get a lot of opportunities to throw the ball deep in games. We're doing a little bit more now, but I think through time we will not have to have this conversation."
