What was the coldest game in NFL history?

The NFL playoffs are upon us, beginning this weekend. While there are storylines of players and coaches facing their former teams, the weather has taken the stage, front and center. While the Buffalo Bills vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Wild Card Round game is set to be hit by lake-effect weather, the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Miami Dolphins game will be dealing with frigid cold temperatures.

In Kansas City on Saturday night, the temperature is expected to measure in at -10 degrees with winds between 10-to-15 mph, according to AccuWeather. With the wind chill, the temperature will feel like -32 degrees.

With these projected temperatures, this could very well be the coldest NFL game in Kansas City history. But where does it rank among the all-time coldest games in history?
