We’ve seen some extremely cold NFL games over the years, whether it’s been in the playoffs or regular season, and they really don’t look like fun to play.
There can be players not wearing sleeves but slathered in Vaseline, coaches’ faces getting red and damaged by the cold and fans hopefully very bundled up.
But which games have been the absolute coldest? We’ve put together the list, although it’s ranked by temperature measured at kickoff — with the wind chill, these games might have felt much colder than the air temperature. Welp.
