But, it won’t be as easy for the Chiefs as well. This game is set to break previous records not only at Arrowhead but in the franchise history as well, for the coldest game.

The Arrowhead tends to cool things down

The Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers in 1967 played the coldest game in the history of the NFL. Temperatures fell to -13 degrees with a wind chill of -48 degrees. The Chiefs, though, have not faced such brutal weather, but they have seen the cold.

To date, the coldest game at the Arrowhead was a regular season matchup between the divisional rivals the Chiefs and the Denver Broncos. With 0.5 degrees temperature accompanied by -19-degree wind chill, back in 1983.

The record for the coldest playoff game is the 1996 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Temperatures were 0.5 degrees with a wind chill of -11 degrees. This upcoming game is set to break both these records for the Chiefs, easily.
