ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW?

Yes, of course. This game is going to be played in straight up FRIGID conditions; it might even be the coldest game in NFL history. The Weather.com forecast calls for temperatures of -2 degrees Farenheit at kick off, and if you factor in the wind chill, it’s going to feel like it’s -17 degrees. It’s going to be so cold that the players are going to be wearing specially designed thermal underwear. In case you were wondering, the coldest game in NFL history was the 1967 title game at Lambeau Field — AKA the “Ice Bowl” — where the Packers and Cowboys faced -13 degrees and a wind chill of -48. Brrrrrrrrr!
