Dolphins-Chiefs Forecast Predicts One of NFL’s Coldest Playoff Games on Record

When the Kansas City Chiefs host the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night, the temperature could hit historic lows. The forecast for the evening game is expected to drop below 0 degrees, with the wind chill potentially reaching as low as -29 degrees.

If the forecast holds true, Chiefs-Dolphins will join the list of coldest NFL playoff games in recent memory.

The coldest playoff game on record is the Ice Bowl in 1967, when the Green Bay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 21-17 at Lambeau Field for the NFL Championship in -13 degree temperatures. Next up on the list is the Freezer Bowl, when the Cincinnati Bengals hosted the Los Angeles Chargers in the 1982 AFC Championship game, resulting in a 27-7 Bengals victory in -9 degree weather.
