With the regular season of the NFL 2023-24 ending, the fans are awaiting one of the most anticipated and intensified playoff clashes. The two AFC giants, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins on Saturday Night Football can be the ideal one to suffice their quench. It will probably be a bone-chilling encounter in the truest sense. Both teams are gigantic and will strive in desperation to win the game. However, what is more interesting is that the game will be played under a low temperature. So much that it can be one of the coldest games to occur in the history of the NFL.

As things stand, the game will take place at 7.15 PM central time. The temperature can dip down to zero degrees Fahrenheit. Going by the measurement in Celsius, the game can be hosted at -18 degrees. It has all the possibilities to become the coldest game in the history of the league.

Only four games, in the history of the NFL, had been organized under such harsh conditions. The first instance can be traced back to 1967 when the NFL Championship was held in Green Bay at -13 degrees. The second was in 1982 when the AFC Championship was held in Cincinnati at -9, the third was in 2008 when the NFC Championship was held in Green Bay at -1 and the latest one was in 2016 when the wild card game was held in Minnesota at the -6 degrees temperature. If the temperature falls to zero degrees Fahrenheit, then it can be the coldest.

The Chiefs vs the Dolphins is expected to be intense

The Chiefs vs the Dolphins will be a highly-intensified game for ample reasons. The game will be hosted by the Chiefs which means, Tyreek Hill, the WR who shares a troubled relationship with the team will get an opportunity to visit Kansas City.

Hill had a tumultuous relationship with the Chiefs. He was one of the architects behind the Chiefs’ 2020 Super Bowl win. He had a profound impact on the likes of Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. Nonetheless, the WR who has the nickname Cheetah, later got into trouble with the management regarding his contract. The trouble became so high that he bid goodbye to the club and jumped on the boats of the Dolphins.

Since then, it will be his first ‘homecoming.’ The two teams had an encounter in the regular season as well where the Chiefs emerged victorious. But it was played on the foreign soil. This time, the environment will be heated even if the temperature remains cold.
