Titans QB Coach Has Funny NSFW Comment About Ryan Tannehill Not Wearing Gloves Despite Cold Weather in Kansas City
By Ian Anderson
The temperatures in Kansas City for this year's AFC Championship game are sub-optimal to say the least, but a certain quarterback doesn't seem to care, with a Super Bowl bid on the line.
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has decided not to wear gloves in Sunday's bout with the Chiefs, and Titans quarterback coach Pat O'Hara had a funny remark regarding Tannehill's decision.
Talked to #titans QB coach Pat O’Hara about Tannehill not wearing gloves. He told me as long as Tannehill’s got some hand warmers, he’s fine. He said “Ryan’s from Texas. He’s tough as s***.”

O'hara said "Ryan's from Texas. He's tough as s***." Which, you know what? Fair point made.
With the temperatures expected to have a high of 19 degrees, the Chiefs and Titans are in for some cold football.
Tannehill's job is certainly made easier by the fact that he mostly needs to hand the ball to the behemoth wearing No. 22 in his backfield.
Couple that with a few play-action bombs, and Tennessee might not need to worry about how cold Tannehill's hands are.
Titans’ WR Adam Humphries, who has not played since Week 13 and was listed as questionable for today with his ankle injury, will be active today for today’s AFC Championship.

One thing that could be helpful is wide receiver Adam Humphries being active for the Titans.
With the colder conditions, having Humphries available as a checkdown option could be absolutely crucial to a Titans victory in an atmosphere such as Arrowhead.
