The Coldest Games in NFL History
The Chiefs will host the Patriots in Kansas City on Sunday for the AFC Championship, and the forecast calls for temperatures around 20 degrees.
While Arrowhead Stadium will be chilly on Sunday evening, it will likely feel balmy compared to some of the coldest games in league history.
The coldest game in NFL history remains the Ice Bowl, the 1967 NFL championship between the Cowboys and Packers in Green Bay. The game-time temperature was -13 degrees with a windchill of -36 degrees.
The second-coldest game was a Bengals win over the Chargers in January 1982. The temperature at Riverfront Stadium was -9 degrees.
The third-coldest game in NFL history was more recent. It came in January 2016 when the Seahawks took on the Vikings in Minneapolis and the temperature was -6 degrees. That was before the Vikings moved into their indoor home at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Here's a look at the other coldest NFL games in history before the 2016 game.
The 2016 game moved into third on the list, as it was colder than expected.
