The Kansas City Chiefs are set to play the Miami Dolphins in an AFC Wild Card showdown that will take place in absolutely brutal weather conditions at Arrowhead Stadium.
Temperatures are set to sit at or around zero degrees when the game starts, and wind chills are expected to make the air feel even colder.
Ummm…Kansas City, we have no degrees. Also, wind chill -19! pic.twitter.com/W1CHjJc0nm

While the Buffalo Bills’ matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was originally scheduled for Sunday, got moved to Monday night due to a snowstorm in Western New York, all indications are that Kansas City’s game against Miami will be played as originally planned.
Chiefs Kingdom had a field day on social media platforms, speculating about what the experience would be like for those brave enough to attend the game on Saturday night despite the bitter cold.
Check out some of Twitter’s top reactions to the extremely chilly conditions ahead of Kansas City’s matchup against the Dolphins:
gonna turn my thermostat down from 64° to 62° to stand in solidarity with the folks going to the game tonight

Rodney Harrison said he walked onto the field at Kansas City and the field was “hard as a brick.”

How hard would it be to cover Arrowhead Stadium with…like… a thick layer of glad press and seal wrap then turn on 10,000 space heaters? If they started last night I think it would be better…

The Chiefs-Dolphins Game should be postponed for Player and Fan safety. Period. https://t.co/BJhszVbSss pic.twitter.com/qzw0w5AASz

The Dolphins-Chiefs game should be postponed too. -1 degree weather, with wind chills of -30 degrees, snow and 29 mph winds IS NOT SAFE for players or fans and IS NOT FOOTBALL WEATHER.
