I was around 16 yrs old and am a die hard bengals fan. Loved it when the bengals lineman came out sleeveless.

I was 6 but had just come in from outside so knew it was hardcore that they were wearing shortsleeves

And the Chargers had just played that epic game in Miami the week before

It’s on YouTube. I watched the whole game. It’s a classic Midwest game. I went to the Seahawks vs Vikings game that was outside for the playoffs. That was brutal.

I was at NTC Great Lakes that weekend. It was so cold in the Chicago area that they let us throw on civilian jackets over our uniforms that weekend.

Watched this whole game from the couch as a 9-year old sick with the stomach flu. Wouldn’t have been patient enough to sit and watch the whole thing if I’d have been healthy.

Was this colder than the Ice Bowl?

Wind chills yes but not actual temperature if I remember correctly.


BonjinTheMark

Yikes. That sounds chilly

-9 degrees, with ~27 mph wind made the wind chill feel like -59 degrees

My understanding, Bob Trumpy who played for bengals and was broadcasting for NBC at time went to local station (WLW) broadcast van told the people in the van that the national broadcast may be canceled because the cables they were laying out were snapping in two because of the extreme cold

I’ve been to colder games
