The Cleveland Browns’ game against the New Orleans Saints at the former’s FirstEnergy Stadium on Saturday has been billed as the coldest of the year.
A Game Best-Served Cold
It could be a fixture requiring some real bravery as temperatures are said to be colder than that of the South Pole at -21F. The temperature at the South Pole is -15F.
The area was also expected to host heavy winds in what should make for a pretty bad combo. This suggests the teams will be more inclined to run the ball. At the time of writing, Deshaun Watson had already run one into the end zone himself, at 14:55, to start things off for the Browns.
Both teams headed into Saturday’s below-zero fixture below .500.
A Snowball Effect
The winter season has had an impact on recent NFL games. Buffalo Bills fans had some fun throwing snowballs onto the pitch in Week 15 as they had to shovel snow off their seats to be able to enjoy the game.
