Early on Saturday the NFL announced that the Buffalo Bills vs. Pittsburgh Steelers AFC wild card game scheduled for Sunday afternoon has been moved to Monday due to a massive snowstorm in the Buffalo area. However, the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins will go ahead as scheduled on Saturday night despite frigid temperatures.
The forecast in Kansas City for Saturday night is forecast to be -5 degrees with a wind chill of -30 degrees. It is expected to be very windy as well with the forecast calling for 15 mph winds with wind gusts up to nearly 30 mph making this one of the coldest games to be played in NFL history.
Those attending the game are urged to bundle up as frostbite and hypothermia can happen in these extreme temperatures. One Chiefs fan who is attending the game posted a video on social media of the crazy amounts of layers he will be wearing to the game.
Chiefs fans are some of the most dedicated in the league and are not going to miss out on a playoff game due to the cold as they are still expecting a sellout crowd. The extreme cold should be an advantage for the home team as they have played in similar conditions before, while their opponents from Miami play their home games in one of the warmest cities in the country.
Miami has lost its last 10 games when temperatures at kickoff were below 40 degrees, while the Chiefs are 9-1 in their last 10 home games when the temperature was below 40 degrees, including 4-0 in the playoffs. Advantage Chiefs.
