The Coldest NFL Game Ever



For over 100 years, the NFL has been a premiere stage for epic battles with nail-biting action. Some of the most memorable moments of the storied franchise have occurred when gritty players have fought for the win while also standing against a siege from the elements. Sleet, snow and ice have rarely caused a delay — the show must go on. That begs the question: What was the coldest NFL game ever? It turns out that the 1967 NFL Championship at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, was the coldest game in NFL history. The game, which would later be nicknamed the Ice Bowl, featured the Green Bay Packers hosting the Dallas Cowboys in a classic showdown of two behemoth programs. The temperature on this last day of the year reached a bone-chilling -13º F with a wind chill of roughly -48º F. The Packers eked out a victory thanks to legendary quarterback Bart Starr's game-winning touchdown run with just 13 seconds remaining.
