Check back to San Diego vs. Cincinnati playoff game in the 80's. I think wind chills were down to -59 in that one.

The Freezer Bowl. And yes some of those crazy bastards weren't wearing sleeves.

quote:

The game, won by the Bengals, 27–7, was played in the coldest temperature in NFL history in terms of wind chill. (The coldest in terms of air temperature was the Ice Bowl.) Air temperature was -9 °F (-23 °C), but the wind chill, factoring in a sustained wind of 27 miles per hour (43 km/h), was -37 °F or -38 °C (calculated as -59 °F or -51 °C using the now outdated wind chill formula in place at the time). The game was played at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium, and televised by NBC with announcers Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen.
