AFC Championship Could Be Coldest Home Playoff Game In Steelers' History

Discussion in 'Pittsburgh Steelers' started by BigBlueBruiser, Jan 22, 2011.

  1. The AFC championship game on Sunday might be a great matchup between two of the NFL's best teams, but there isn't a lot of bad blood between the Steelers and the New York Jets. You wouldn't call it a heated rivalry. Especially this weekend. The National Weather Service is predicting single-digit temperatures Sunday evening, making it possible that the players -- and the freezing fans huddled in Heinz Field -- might be experiencing the coldest Steelers home playoff game on record. It's expected to be colder in Pittsburgh than it will be in Chicago for the Bears' afternoon game against the Green Bay Packers. "It's shaping up as one of the coldest games here that I can remember," meteorologist Brad Rehak of the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh said Friday. "Going back to the 1970s with the Raiders-Steelers games."

    I'm hoping that the Jets can take this game away from the Steelers somehow.

    That's awesome, as is when you see the breath coming out of the mouths of the linemen before a snap. Warrior weather.

  15. You gotta respect the fact that he was out there like that in -3 below zero weather up in Green Bay in the NFC Title Game three years ago.

    Can't believe it's been that long already.....
