Jones - who threw for 310 yards in the win - noted that he wasn't impacted much by the weather, but did highlight how he likes practicing in the elements to get a better feel for what it could be like on game day. Jones has already started to get a taste of the northeast weather over the last few weeks, including during the Week 12 win over the Titans in Foxborough where there was even a few snow flurries coming down at times.

On Monday night, the temperature is forecasted to drop to 25 degrees in Buffalo with winds coming in at 20 to 30 mph.
