GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Dec. 23, 2007, game at Chicago is nowhere on the list of the coldest games in Green Bay Packers history. Don’t tell that to those who played that day at Soldier Field.
The 16-degree temperature at kickoff listed next to the game in NFL annals doesn’t begin to tell the frigid story of that afternoon. With winds whipping off Lake Michigan, the windchill was minus-18 degrees.
“Probably the coldest game I’ve ever been a part of,” said Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who did not even get into the game that day.
