I caved and watching the game, I am intrigued by the -30°F temperature.

There really wasn't much to see

Tua was longing for some Miami warmth.

The Browns go out with a whimper and we get to see why Flacco was a seldom used backup the last 10 years and why the Jets didn't want him back this year

In more serious news I understand why they moved the game to Monday.

Buffalo had 2 very similar storms last year people died with about 12 found in vehicles buried in the snow and others who tried to walk to safety dyeing from hypothermia.

Some others were older people with medical issues that died when the power went out to their homes

At the height of the 2022 holiday travel season, the four-day blizzard and lake-effect snow event knocked out power for more than 100,000 people, paralyzed emergency services and holiday travel, and left at least 47 dead.

Then a few weeks later in Jan 2023 snowmageddon hit again killing another 39

The deadly blizzard devastated the region, killing at least 39, requiring residents to stay off roads for nearly a week and cutting off residents from emergency services at the storm's peak.

These lake effect storms powered by the high winds whipping across the open lake with frigid temps are no joke.

I remember one time in the 90's Super Bowl Era going over for a frigid Jets game and the snow banks alongside the road in Orchard Park were as high as the telephone poles.

Then there was this beauty in Oct about 18 years ago

So if the Bills pull this off over the Steelers the KC Chiefs travel north to Buffalo for the first time since Oct of 2020.

Since that time 5 games have been played at Arrowhead with the Bills winning 2 Oct matchups and a Dec game for three straight regular season games.

The Chiefs have owned the late January playoff matchups winning in 2021 and 2022

The Bills hold a 29-24-1 advantage all time.

Go Bills

BTW on this side of the lake in Niagara Falls Ontario Canada we only got 4-5 inches of snow

Bills management is hard at work trying to finalize the Stroud for Allen trade before Houston comes to its senses

Fin vs KC = Officiating at it's finest.

I'm glad there are still pro-teams in harsh weather conditions that still play in outdoor stadiums.

As long as I'm not there, it's fun to watch. Indoor football is too sterile. They don't even get grass stains anymore...lol...

Go Bills. Get all the home games you can...lol

Dallas got hammered, did not see that coming.

He deserves to lose until the day he dies (and it looks like he will) for firing Jimmy Johnson.

I think JJ fires McCarthy and hires Billy Boy

As for JJ firing JJ they were friends and teammates in collage at Arkansas and won a National Championship
JJ the owner is a megalomaniac and egomaniac

The Lions squeak by the Rams for their first playoff win in 30 years.

If the Bills win(and they should) it will be their 4th straight wildcard win.

BTW one more interesting nugget on GB and the Cowgirls

No coach has ever won the Super Bowl with one team then moved to another and won it again...... I already knew this one.

No coach that has won a Super Bowl has ever beat his previous team that he won the SB with in the playoffs...I did not know this.
