History of NFL's WORST Weather Games: Snow, Rain, Heat, & More!

“Only weather that matters is Whether THEY want it more than us” awesome freakin line

I remember the fog bowl game between the Bears and the Eagles. The best part of that game was one of the fans in the end zone carrying a banner saying "Did we win?"

There's something cathartic about watching grown professional athletes slide for 10+ yards on a muddy field. Wonderful.

The freezer bowl blows my mind. I tried to go for a walk once when it was -25. At first it didn't seem so bad. I got half way around the block and suddenly thought, 'This was a mistake.' It felt like my body was starting to freeze and the slight breeze felt like absolute murder, especially on my eyes. After getting back in the house, it was a very weird feeling after a few moments.. where the only way I can describe it is my body thawing out. Like every muscle just suddenly relaxed all at once. I actually like cold weather, and can shrug off -15.. but that was terrible. ..and it was nowhere close to -59, so I can't even imagine what that could have been like, let alone trying to run around and play football.

Unfortunately, with the increase in modern roofed stadiums, we have less of a chance of seeing weather games. At least we still have Buffalo and Green Bay.

A little history behind the final play of the Ice Bowl, the play wasn't designed as a QB sneak it was supposed to be a handoff to Donny Anderson and they actually tried that play twice already but Anderson kept losing his footing on the field due to the grass being frozen. So Bart Starr went over to Lombardi and suggested doing a sneak since he was closer to the goal line and Lombardi responded with "Then run it and let's get the hell out of here."

R.I.P madden 1936-2021 What a legend

Man when I was a kid, whenever it snowed I would always call my friends and grab a football and we’d play two hand touch in the driving snow, we’d get soaking wet and cold, and mom would always make hot chocolate for us, great times!

“We wanted people to blow up the comments prematurely” Never thought I’d be trolled by the NFL 😂

I will never forget the Freezer Bowl. I live in NE Ohio and it was frigid that day. I played football in cold conditions, but I could not believe anyone could play in 59 degree below wind chill. As I watched that game my heart went out to those players and what they were going through. That day was brutal!

I played Rugby for Michigan State in the '80's. The worst conditions I can remember had 3 inches of snow on the field then the temperature rose just enough to give us an icy sleet. About an hour before the game the temp dropped to 15 degrees. It was 3 inches of snow covered with a quarter inch of ice. Everyone was bleeding after that game. Not to mention how much every hit hurts more in the cold.

Wow, the NFL is actually acknowledging the last College All Stars game that was a disaster.

Snow games are great, but I do love that one field goal attempt in the wind where you can tell the kicker is at trying to hook it left but the ball just starts flying off and ends up going out the right sideline on its way to the locker room. Haha.

Many think the Pats cheating began with Belichick, but, the tradition actually began with the Snow Plow Game.

“Football is played in any kind of weather. Rain, sleet, snow, hail, mud; can’t read the numbers on the field, can’t read the yard markers, can’t read the player’s numbers, the struggle will continue.” 😎 —George Carlin

Imagine a game being played during the movie “the mist”

There's never been weather as bad as the freezer bowl, -59 wind chill and trying to win in that when you're Air Coryell. 135 degree weather change from the humid Miami game to Cincinnati has to be an NFL record as well.

“We just wanted to see how many people would blow up the comment section prematurely.” I unironically love these guys. They actually get it. “It” being the internet, their fans, and the football world. NFL Throwback, I genuinely hope you guys know you’re appreciated

This was very well done. I'd give a mention to the 1962 NFL Championship between the Giants and Packers in NY. At 17 degrees F, it wasn't as cold as the games mentioned here, but there were also strong winds, 35-40 MPH. I remember growing up and playing in snow or on a muddy field. It was a lot of fun.
