Remember the NFC Championship game from a few years ago (Jan. 2008) when the NY Giants upset the Green Bay Packers (Brett Favre's last game as a Packer) and how cold it was? It was -4F with a -24F wind chill and Coach Tom Coughlin had frostbite on his cheeks. That was the 5th coldest game in NFL history.
Sunday's game against San Francisco is lining up to beat that and could make a run at the Freezer Bowl (1982 AFC Championship in Cincinnati) for the #2 spot. The current forecast has a game-time temperature of -8F and an unknown wind chill. The Freezer Bowl is #2 on actual temperature (-9F) with the Ice Bowl (1967 NFL Championship in Green Bay) taking the #1 spot (-13F), although the Freezer Bowl is #1 when you factor in the wind (-59F vs. -48F for the Ice Bowl).
San Francisco isn't the warmest place to play, but it ain't Green Bay. Hopefully we'll actually be able to see the game as Green Bay hasn't sold out the game yet.
