Fans of the Chiefs and Dolphins are getting ready for one of the chilly NFL playoff matches ever.

Fans of the Chiefs and Dolphins are getting ready for one of the chilly NFL playoff matches ever.

On Saturday night, the Miami Dolphins will go to Kansas City to face the Chiefs in the opening round of the playoffs.

The weather experts say it will be below zero, which could make it one of the coldest playoff games in NFL history.

During a Thursday press meeting with reporters, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid asked how he was getting ready for the cold weather. He stated that there is little preparation that can be done for such weather.

One piece of advice that Reid doesn’t think he’ll have to give his players is to get close to the bench warmers.

“There’s one thing you are not required to do, and that’s tell them to leave and stand close to the warmer,” he told us.

Fox Weather says that a polar vortex will bring very cold weather to the area, with high temperatures only hitting the single digits throughout the day.

The game starts at 8 p.m. ET, and it’s going to get below zero. Some predictions say that it will get as cold as -5 degrees.

According to the Weather Channel, it will be -5 degrees Fahrenheit on Saturday night. This would make it the coldest football game ever held in Kansas City.

It would get down to 62 degrees at night in Miami, where the game would be held, and there is a 30% chance of rain.

Nobody has ever been to a football game in Kansas City when it was below zero. It got as cold as -1 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -19 during a 2016 Chiefs-Tennessee Titans game.

In 1996, when the Chiefs played the Indianapolis Colts in Kansas City, it was 11 degrees outside, making it the coldest playoff game ever.

As far as cold playoff games go, the 1967 NFL Championship, also known as the “Ice Bowl,” is the best.

Three years prior to the AFL and NFL merging, the Green Bay Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys 21–17 to win their 11th NFL title.

With 16 seconds left, Bart Starr drove the Packers out of the field for a touchdown that won the game. The weather had dropped to -18 degrees at the time of the score.

The Dolphins would be getting ready to face a wild-card game in Miami if they had beaten Buffalo in Week 18.

But because they lost, they’re going to Kansas City for what will probably be the coldest game in the team’s history.

The National Weather Service says that when the Dolphins as well as the Chiefs play on Saturday night, the weather will be around 0 degrees and the wind chill will be close to -30 degrees.

That prediction says that this will be the coldest game the Dolphins have ever played. That’s bad news for them because they’ve lost 10 consecutive games when the temperature at kickoff is 40 degrees or below (read more about that here).

Strangely enough, the Dolphins’ coldest game ever was played in Kansas City in 2008, on a day when it was 10 degrees outside at the start.

The record will likely fall unless the weather does something very different between now and Saturday.

If it is 0 degrees at the start, Saturday’s game will be the coldest in NFL history. The last time it was that cold was in January 2016, when the Seahawks beat the Vikings 10-9 on the road in the wild-card game of the playoffs.

At the beginning of the week, the predicted starting temperature for the game was about 10 degrees. However, that number has slowly dropped over the last four days, and if it keeps going down, the Chiefs may also break their club record for the coldest game ever played.

According to the NFL Reference, the Chiefs played a game in 1983 when it was 0.5 degrees outside at the start. This is the coldest game in the team’s history.

That record is very likely to fall right now, which means that THIS GAME COULD BE THE COLDEST IN THE HISTORY OF BOTH TEAMS.
