MINNEAPOLIS –
At minus-6 degrees Fahrenheit (wind chill of minus-25), the game came in as the coldest in Vikings history and third-coldest by wind chill in NFL history. It tied for third-coldest in air temperature.
“I thought the fans were outstanding today,” said Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer following the 10-9 loss. “They sat in the coldest game in Vikings history, they were loud, they were educated, and I thought they did a great job.”
A stadium nearly full of Vikings fans, with a few Seattle supporters sprinkled throughout, not only endured the cold but embraced it.
