Jordan Matthews’ newborn son is proof that the warmest additions can come out of the coldest climates.
The 26-year-old wide receiver returned to the Philadelphia Eagles after spending the 2017-2018 NFL season in Buffalo, New York, playing for the city’s Bills — with one special newcomer in tow.
“When I was in Buffalo, there was nothing to do there except have fun with your wife. She got pregnant,” Matthews joked to reporters Wednesday after resigning to the Eagles about the birth of son Josiah Jordan.
“So we always say we got a Buffalo baby,” added the athlete, who welcomed Josiah with wife Cheyna, a professional soccer forward for the Washington Spirit, on Aug. 24, “Ain’t nothing to do there, except each other.”
Weather.gov reports that Buffalo received 112.3 inches of snow over the 2017 to 2018 season.

Matthews has an unconventional (yet productive) effect on his son, who turns 4 weeks old on Friday.
“Every time I hold him, too, he always poops, so they call me Poop Daddy at home,” Matthews said. “They’re holding him all day. The second I come home they’re like, ‘All right, Daddy, come on, come hold him.’ ”
“The second I hold him, he’s like, . So they always hand him to me whenever they know he needs to use the bathroom,” the new dad explains, adding that he’s been getting “some good nights of sleep” recently.
