RGIII is urging the NFL to postpone tonight’s playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs.

The league has announced the postponement of the clash involving the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills, moving it from Sunday to Monday, but Saturday’s game is set to go on as planned.

The former quarterback reckons the conditions won’t be safe for players or fans given that it’s set to be one of the coldest games in NFL history.

“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,” he wrote on X.

The Ice Bowl was -13 degrees, with a wind chill at -48 in 1967

Bud. Two years ago Josh Allen beat the Patriots in the Wild Card. At kick off the temp was 0 degrees and -13 windchill.

Then what happened?

Josh Allen went on to throw the only perfect NFL game in playoff history.

But when the Dolphins opponent sidelines is pushing 130° it's fair game…it's a LOT easier to heat up/stay warm than it is to cool down. They'll be fine.

The Steelers-Bills game has been shifted to Monday because of a travel ban set to come into play from Saturday night, but no such measures have been taken in Kansas City, which is why the NFL has opted to proceed.

Meanwhile, fans have been urged to take every precaution and cover all extremities if they plan on attending tonight.
