NFL fans and Kansas Chiefs and Miami Dolphins players and coaches were all trying to do at least one thing on Saturday night — stay warm.
Those headed to Arrowhead Stadium for the playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins Saturday night had one priority of keeping warm.
Just before kickoff, temperatures in Kansas City fell to minus 3 degrees Fahrenheit. Twelve-mph winds made the temperature feel closer to minus 21.

Kelce was among players wearing extra headgear to keep their heads insulated. Players warming up were red-faced, and their breath was visible in the frigid temperatures.
The weather was a major concern among NFL fans after officials postponed the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers game in Orchard Park, New York, due to weather. Robert Griffin III implored the NFL to do the same with the Chiefs-Dolphins game.
