I'm sure you remember this one:

The Freezer Bowl was the 1981 American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game between the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. The game, won by the Bengals, 27–7, was played in the coldest temperature in NFL history in terms of wind chill. (The coldest in terms of air temperature was the Ice Bowl.) Air temperature was −9 °F (−22.8 °C), but the wind chill, factoring in a sustained wind of 27 miles per hour (43 km/h), was −37 °F or −38.3 °C (calculated as −59 °F or −50.6 °C using the now outdated wind chill formula in place at the time).

Yes I remember the freezer bowl in Cincinnati.

I do wonder if they would allow games to be played in such bitter cold today. I don’t know if the NFL has official rules on weather, or if all such issues would be considered case by case. I know some NFL games have been delayed due to thunderstorms , but don’t know if cold has ever delayed any game.
