It’s a record heat wave this week in Pittsburgh, with today being one of the hottest days ever. The “real feel” temperatures are well over 100 degrees. That got me thinking – what are the hottest games the Steelers have ever played in? In the past, we’ve discussed the coldest-ever Steelers game, but today, we’re looking at the top three scorchers.
1. Pittsburgh Steelers at Houston Texans, Week 2 of 2005 – 94 degrees
Some official records show the Houston temperature at *just* 90 degrees that day. But looking back at historical weather data, the temps at kickoffs sat at 92 and increased to 94 later in the game.
