The Buffalo Bills take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the playoffs, and it could be one of the windiest games in the history of the NFL.
There will be a high temperature of 24 degrees, and wind gusts of about 50 miles per hour, according to the AccuWeather forecast.
The Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers matchup could compete with the Freezer Bowl
The potential gusts of the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers matchup could compete with the Freezer Bowl from the 1981-1982 season. The Cincinnati Bengals took on the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship.
The game was home to temperatures that were below zero, as well as wind gusts that were over 50 miles per hour.
The Bengals advanced to the Super Bowl with a 27-7 victory over the Chargers. The actual temperature was -9 degrees, but the wind chill was reported as -59 degrees.
The Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers matchup could be a repeat of a 2021 matchup in which the Bills were featured
The Buffalo Bills took on the New England Patriots in one of the windiest games in NFL history. The December 2021 Monday Night Football matchup resulted in a 14-10 victory for the Patriots.
Gusts in that game reached up to 55 miles per hour. The Patriots only threw the ball three times throughout the entire game.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen was able to use his arm strength to pierce through the wind. This allowed him to complete 15 passes throughout the game. The wind had a massive effect on the game as the Bills dominated the Patriots just weeks later in the wild card round.
