CHICAGO — As Chicago Bears players attempted to thaw out inside the home locker room after Saturday afternoon’s 35-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, they tried to describe the extreme conditions they had endured for the previous three-plus hours.
The kickoff temperature at Soldier Field: 9 degrees. With a windchill of minus-12.
“Freezing,” tight end Cole Kmet said. “That was the coldest game I’ve ever played in.”
