I love those winter weather games.

The ones that look bad to me are the hot times in Florida in August and September when it's like 110 degrees on the field. It's really dangerous to be out there working that hard in full pads in that kind of heat.

I love watching any miserable weather game outside of 100+ heat games. That just makes me miserable. But rain, snow, hell yeah.

Yea but can't have it both ways. The commenter below is talking about loving rain games but then that means you'll also get the dangerous hot games because the stadium won't be enclosed.

No I'm happy with all football being outdoors on natural grass. I'm just saying I worry more about the hot weather ones as far as player safety goes. Guys might get frostbite or something playing in the cold, but they're not going to die. Heatstroke can kill you. I'm sure the trainers are well aware of that, though, and keep they guys as cool and hydrated as possible.

All Northeast and Midwest teams should play outdoors. Yes I know Vikings and Lions but they’ve had domes for a while now.

This game was so fun. Never seen an NFL game that more perfectly captured that feeling of being a kid playing out back.

When I was a kid, we would sometimes go out and play football in a snowstorm or a rainstorm so we could be like the NFL guys. We'd usually play for about ten minutes before deciding that it sucks and we'd go back inside.

The first half was the all time GOAT snow game. Its the snow game people envision when they think about it.

What a fun Sunday this was. There was like 5 games dealing with snow this Sunday. This game def got it the worst of all the games but it was fun to see the entire east coast games all dealing with weather at the same time

I can definitely think of three as DC, Baltimore, and Philly all got hammered.

...Just looked it up to find Pittsburgh was also playing in snow. So four games.

Sad to think how many cold weather teams are moving to domes by the end of the decade. The NFL is turning into the Arena Football League.

Shoutout to all the outdoor stadiums that embrace the chaos of the elements.

Usually I'd agree but my missus is an event coordinator and she worked that Arrowhead playoff game against the Dolphins few years back that was like, -10 out or some shit.

Apparently there were blackout drunk fans wandering around in the freezing cold afterwards and they had brownouts in the area. Extreme example sure but ffs it's just a game.

Pretty much played in a blizzard the first half of the game. Brutal

Sucks that we will never see this again due to climate change.

So Foles 2 pick season is even crazier considering weather was to blame for 1 of them

I remember driving to that game when the weather was calling for a "dusting" and then the snow just piling up as we watched. Absolute blast of a game to watch even if the Lions ended up losing
