It’s so cold in Minneapolis today for the NFC Wild Card matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks.
How cold is it?
I’ll tell ya, I had to stick my head in the freezer for five minutes just to warm up, that’s how cold it is.
No, but seriously, it’s pretty darn cold in Minnesota today and the Vikings and Seahawks are going to be playing in one of the coldest games in NFL history.
The players, of course, are preparing for the elements…

Some members of the Seahawks warmed up in shorts, which is insane.
There are Seahawks people on the field running around in shorts. Insane. I can't identify him because he has a ski mask on.

Garry Gilliam of the Seahawks actually had frost on his eyelashes before the game.
The temperatures actually broke the Vikings’ Gjallarhorn, but it was replaced.
The Vikings are also handing out window scrapers in the press box, which isn’t something you see every day.
According to The Weather Channel, a kickoff temperature of -1º would not crack the top five coldest games in NFL history…
Of course, the cold weather does have another issue to be concerned with.

Oh no. We’re not going to go through *this* again, are we?
