T.O. hasn't been a cold-weather performer

Orchard Park, N.Y., isn't Nova Scotia, but it can feel like it sometimes.

New Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens will be playing at least seven of his games in Ralph Wilson Stadium, where the winter weather can get a little dicey.

Owens is no stranger to wintry conditions. He spent the past five seasons in the NFC East. But I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at how he has done in the coldest games of his career:

* 22 degrees: Dec. 7, 2008; Owens had three receptions for 32 yards and zero touchdowns in a 20-13 loss at Pittsburgh.
* 28 degrees: Jan. 13, 2002 (playoffs); Owens had four catches for 40 yards and no touchdowns in a 25-15 loss at Green Bay.
* 30 degrees: Dec. 14, 2003; Owens had his best cold-weather game with eight catches for 127 yards and one touchdown, but lost 41-38 at Cincinnati.
* 34 degrees: Jan. 4, 1997 (playoffs); Owens was held without a catch in a 35-14 loss at Green Bay.
* 35 degrees: Dec. 21, 2003; Owens made one reception for 20 yards in a 31-28 victory at Philadelphia.
* 35 degrees: Dec. 30, 2001; Owens had five catches for 93 yards and no touchdowns in a 27-21 loss at Dallas.

In six career games with the game-time temperature at 35 degrees or below, Owens' teams went 1-5. He averaged 3.5 receptions for 52.0 yards and 0.17 touchdowns. In two playoff losses he averaged two catches for 20 yards.

Owens has played two career games in Buffalo. Conditions were friendly both times.

* 71 degrees: Oct. 4, 1998; Owens grabbed four passes for 69 yards and no touchdowns in a 26-21 San Francisco loss.
* 73 degrees: Oct. 8, 2007; Owens had two catches for 25 yards and zero touchdowns in a 25-24 Dallas victory.
