From the Ice Bowl to the Freezer Bowl, the coldest NFL games

A rundown of some of the coldest games in NFL history:

"THE ICE BOWL"

Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay

What: NFL Championship, Packers vs. Cowboys

Conditions: Temperature: minus-13; wind chill: minus-48

Cold hard facts: The legend of Lambeau's frozen tundra was born on this New Year's Eve when the defending Super Bowl I champion Packers survived the most adverse weather in league history.

Third and goal from inside the 1-yard line, 16 seconds remaining, Bart Starr suggested to coach Vince Lombardi calling a quarterback sneak because the running backs could not maintain their footing on the frozen turf.
