The Chiefs playoff game against Miami was projected to be one of the coldest games in NFL history, with an expected temperature of just two degrees and a negative -30 degree windchill.
To battle it, Kansas City’s equipment director Allen Wright told People that the team would be using a variety of equipment to keep warm for the game.
This equipment includes “long” underwear, wetsuits, thermal socks, heated benches, and even infrared sideline heaters.
Wright added that he offers the wetsuits to every player on the team. However, just half the team chooses to accept them. He further stated that one player who won’t be changing his attire much for the game is tight end Travis Kelce.
“So he’s a guy that doesn’t really change much on what he wears,” Wright said of Kelce. “He’s one that believes on staying warm on the sideline and then going out there for the 5, 6, 8 minutes, whatever an offensive drive is, then come back over and get warm when he comes off the field.”
The game between the Dolphins and Chiefs is cold but it won’t be the coldest game in NFL history, as that title belongs to the 1967 NFL Championship between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, which featured negative-13 degree weather, with a wind chill of negative -48.
The wet suits and everything else must’ve helped because Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice opened up the scoring for the Chiefs in their AFC Wild Card Game vs. the Miami Dolphins with an 11-yard TD from Patrick Mahomes.
