The temperature at kickoff was -1.

Why is no one bringing up that there was a game with these kind of extreme temperatures just a few years ago? It seems like everyone is referring back to the Ice Bowl in the 60s.

That's not the forecast. The forecast is a high of 4.

4 is fricking cold, but it's not -1. Yes, the wind will make it colder, but there was a big wind chill in 2008 as well. I think it was -15 at some points. I remember them talking about moving the game to earlier so they would catch more sunshine.

Tom Coughlin looked like he had frost bite during that game. He should've been wearing a ski mask.

The forecast I saw had the windchill low around 25 below for the game and the temp plummeting early Monday am but that can obviously change

the temp will get to -24 later in the night, but yes the windchill is -20ish during game time which is more important as it's how cold they'll feel

The wind chill means it could hit that temperature if the wind GUSTS hard enough. It has not one bit to do with what the temperature will display throughout the game.

Jesus, didn't Mark Mancuso teach you people anything?
