History of NFL's WORST Weather Games: Snow, Rain, Heat, & More! 

Great line.... Only weather that matters is whether they want it more than us...

Fuck yea! Real men think like that.

That was Nate Burleson.

Hey, just wanted to say that you are loved more than you could ever imagine, no matter what is going on in your life. Life can be incredibly hard, but we are blessed so much by our Lord and savior. The people in your life, the phone or computer you’re reading this on, and the simple act of breathing are all huge blessings. Don’t focus on the negatives, or what has or could go wrong. Focus on Jesus and the many blessings He gives us every day. Smile and take a breath. God’s got it figured out already, and is taking care of you. He has never let you down, and won’t start now. He’s coming back. Are you ready? God bless. God is so beyond amazing.

Lol

I remember that one too

So, that fan just happened to bring that banner to the game... Got any pictures?

@@sludge4125 I’m sure he made the sign that day towards the end of the game. You know they do have these things called sharpies. They are portable markers ohh and poster boards.

Back when I was a freshman in High School I played in a fog game where we couldn't see more than 15 yards away. What a wild experience that was.

Yea

Same in baseball when there's a rain delay and players slide on the tarp like a slip and slide

I’ve always been so ignorant to the fact that some fields nowadays still use grass, so chocolatey games with loads of rain are still possible 😆🍫

The Tuck rule game is the worst overturning of a Call ever! Snow Job big time.

@@carloflorez8697it wasn't a bad call the rule was just shit

I can imagine Forrest Gregg standing there on the field reminiscing about the fond memories that weather brought

Yeah I know that "thawing" feeling. That's your blood flow going back to where it was before you got cold.

i went to the 2015 NFC wild card game (3rd coldest game). It was absolutely terrible, but the beer made it better.

Jesus loves you

I’ve been in -25 degree weather twice. It’s brutal!!

And philly maybe if lucky

new engalnd too

Giants, Jets, Steelers, Bears, Ravens, Washington also play in outdoor stadiums

Cleveland.

The NFL wants high scoring fantasy football type games. Can't do that in bad weather.

Two hand touch as a kid??? I would never

Good times

I remember when we have a big snowstorm,we would like to use the mound of snow as a defensive line at the one yard line and do the leap of a running back going over the top of the hill, lots of fun!

My high school football field used pig manure as fertilizer, and it rained a lot. It was smelly, but it was sticky. I think our parents used a fire hose to get us clean enough to sit in the car so we could get home.

@@mholtebeck 🤢🤮

Especially in bad condition reducing the number of contact points is never a bad idea.

Bowman got cheated. It was a double team block, but the camera mostly showed kramer. How stupid is kramer? He once left his ring in an airplane washroom, and thought they should have searched everyone on the plane for the ring.

And that play broke Don Meredith's heart, QB for the Cowboys

@@terrywilliams9924 Don was a crybaby. *Many* pro athletes never won a championship. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@@sludge8506 That is true, but not very many are as likeable, or had the charisma, as Dandy Don. And this is from a Cowboy HATER.

Same

Dan Fouts said his hands were never the same after that game. 🥶🥶🥶

I was at the game with my Dad.

I'll bet all the linemen, Offense and Defense, had bare arms.

@@johnslaughter5475 No, only the Bengals, most all of their linemen. During warm-up (there wasn't much pre-game warm-up though!) they noticed it didn't matter how much you bundled up, the cold wind just cut through everything, so they went sleeveless, also to stun the Chargers players, who were all bundled up, "We're from here, we can handle this cold." And they did. And the Chargers couldn't. Dan Fouts also had a bad game. Guy from San Diego who grew up in rainy Oregon, and his hands simply froze. Ken Anderson had the biggest hands of any NFL QB, which helped grip the frozen ball. Ken also had a history of playing well in all sorts of bad weather games, like the weather simply didn't phase him. Chargers WR Kellen Winslow was one of several players, most of them on the Chargers, who suffered from actual frostbite and needed treatment.

​@@sludge8506IKR, that's why their retirement pensions should be increased, but with all the dome stadiums you'll likely see less and less of this.

I gave them credit and assumed that "tuck rule" would have to be mentioned. The start of fortune consistently favouring the Pats, or at least Brady.

@@stevencooke6451me too. I just think it’s funny and cool that they knew thats how a lot of people would react.

@@aussieaussie4848 I was just thinking that like that was probably one of the best decades ever anything really was cool ig 😂

I live in South Jersey and I remember that day very well as it was only slightly "warmer" in my neck of the woods...-46 wind chill and I worked outside in it for nine hours...got home and took a long hot shower to warm my chilled bones and then went back outside for another hour to help my dad service someone's malfunctioning oil heater. I hated Air Coryell so I was pulling bigtime for the Bengals.

@@kevincrush859 I worked outside every day, including a few below zero Fahrenheit days. Gotta protect against frostbite. It can’t be reversed.

@@sludge4125 I remember it was zero degrees in South Jersey that day but the wind was howling bigtime. It was Christmas break during my senior year of college and I was working at a very busy gas station in my hometown to earn some extra money. I was making a "whopping" $3.35/hr in those horrid conditions and since it's hard to count money with gloves on I often had to take them off...good times....LOL.

@@kevincrush859 Great memories, right. 😳 🤣

OP ll()l you lpp]pl00

My son played rugby and in a national playoff round in the Chicago area in 2017 players were suffering hypothermia. No snow. Your game sounds worse!

I too have endured similar Rugby conditions. We had an annual snow bowl played in Northern Vermont where those exact conditions already existed when the sun came up that day. 10 inches of snow covered the pitch... topped with an icy 2 inch hard crust. Absolute blood bath. We should have just called Red Cross and donated 2 pints each. Instead we left it in the snow. Another favorite is when the pitch is frozen for the playoffs but thaws when the sun is high in the sky midday...then the sun starts to set and the pitch freezes again for the finals... this time with a billion cleat imprints that make it similar to plating on a giant bed of nails. Still the best sport ever.

@@adamr6794 It took me 10 years of playing to realize that I hated the game- I loved my teammates- but at second row I hated the game. Come home beat to shit, ears and temples bleeding, sore all over, everything hurt for 3 days after a game, etc. I threw my cleats in the garbage can when I was 28. The last team I played with was Battleship Rugby from Mobile, Alabama. The best bunch of guys ever. I just got tired of physically getting beat to shit every weekend. You are a Rugger...I know you understand.

@@paulh7589 Yeah second row does suck. I played from 1995-2015 and they try to goad me into running around now and I have no desire whatsoever at 50. I liked the game better when I started playing.

Even god wanted to play!

Yea to watch, imagine playing in it

@@user-ek8cg7tm5s Exactly, snow games are only great if you're watching it on TV, not as a player or spectator.

@@user-ek8cg7tm5s I live up north one of our high school games got 4 inches of snow for our warm ups we tried to clear the field by the end of the game it didn't matter

10:00 kiddo that ain’t nothing compared to these flames

I vaguely remember seeing highlights from that game back in the day, but it always stuck with me as the ugliest football weather I've ever seen. I'm definitely gonna go look for a clip of that field goal now.

It was a 48 yarder!

8-0!

@@briankilbane7043 I’ve never seen this, anyone got a link?

I really want a link for that as well

Can't cheat if it's not against the rules!

@@Anton-wk8lv well I think that could be considered a illegal use of a home field advantage

@@theEWDSDS In the video they said it wasn't illegal at the time.

I doubt there would have been much complaint if they had run out with a shovel or broom. The fact that they used the ground crew to cause a mismatch with equipment the other team didn't have access to was the problem.

@Charles George miami will have it's revenge enroute to the afc title

Where you there?

@@jjramirez3969 no. Saw the game on tv

There was another wild one against the Saints two years later that people seem to forget

I remember the weather forecast the day before said that we might get a brief light shower. You couldn't even see the game because it was raining so hard

@@jjramirez3969 i was

understand your point but vegas is indoors

As a Tampa resident, the issue isn't heat or humidity. It's the thunderstorms. From 2013-2016, the Bucs had four games disrupted by thunderstorms due to the league forcing them to play at 4:25. It's not that much cooler.

@@elliebrown8633 the Glazers moved the games 4:25 because they said it was easier on the fans to deal with the heat. Also I’m from here - and yes, in a packed stadium it’s a lot more miserable at 1p than it is at 4:25.

I've been to Las Vegas a couple of times. The humidity there is so low, the wind is warm! I feels like what you get when you open an oven after it's just been used.

Like New Jersey. Can be 95+ with 90%+ humidity. I enjoyed being in Arizona at 120 degrees but extremely low humidity better.

I’m sure it was, playing in either powdered sugar or chocolate (or both if you’re lucky!) 😅

Apart from red right 88

I was looking for this comment

we live in a society 😔

Bumbling fool. He drove me nuts.

Also Matt Prater hitting a 64 yard field goal in 10 degree weather that week I’m pretty sure

there were 9 early games that day 6 of them were in the snow

I remember playing in a Flag Football tournament that day and seeing all the pictures on my phone's internet browser of all the snow games. It was wild.

That Eagles vs Lions game was very entertaining.

@A l p h e u s ^^^

Rip rest in Heaven

The 1949 NFL Championship Game played between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams was also played in a relentless rain storm in Los Angeles. The Rams owner Dan Reaves pleaded with commissioner Bert Bell to postpone the game. Bell refused claiming radio network commitments made postponement impossible. Eagles won in the mud 14-0.

Well see Pat when the rain and the dirt come together it makes mud. And then the mud gets on the jerseys. And then boom! And that's what mud is.

@Deez nuts Huh?

"Now with all the artificial fields you just dont get that kind of mud anymore. Just like what they did with the tomatoes. Nowadays you bite a tomatoe, and it dont taste like a tomatoe" 😂😂

@@GeneralBuckNaked He seemed offended to not have muddy games anymore.

RIP John Madden. He was the heart and soul of NFL Sunday for many years since I was a kid.

You poor guy.

Man, how many times have the Bills really needed a touchdown...and you refused to be born again? You sinful, sinful fan.

Nice u share a birthday with MLK

Have you lost every game you have played 4 times in a row?

@@Mozart1220 I was talking the other day with an old friend, reminiscing about watching football over the years and he recalled his high school had a big trophy in the main hall display case. "Oh, was it for a state championship?" I asked. "No, the school district gave it to us for haiving 13 consecutive seasons without a win and not just giving up football." I didn't ask but that had to be well over 100 losses in a row. (And he was on the cheer squad! "And you're not even gay!" I said)

I would pay to watch that

Ever heard of the fog bowl lol

@@sniperprodigy4045 good connection

@Broadway Joe 🐻⬇️

I'm still waiting for the NFL to make a video of the history of NFL Rivalries an Divisions

Playing in the mud would be fun, but i dont see how these guys play in the blizzards

HA! Got em.

Oh yes I allmost forgot about it. Yes he left it out. 🏈

Yup and I was there...

“Uh...oops?” 😜

Hahaha

Yeah, definitely deserved a mention in the video.

Facts he should’ve talked about it more especially with the overtime finish

Good thing for tough actin' Tinactin!! Thanks to our old pal John Madden!!

PG version of the ACTUAL story! Hahaha!

Ew, trench foot. Wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Imagine what the showers and the laundry basket looked like after the game, unless they just threw all the clothing away!

It'll be the best showers of their lives

And you could take a leak and nobody would notice. Now as for the ladies......?

They were lighting fires and smoking cigarettes in the stands 😂 how did they think lighting fires in a crowded stadium was a good idea though?

😂🤣😂

Haven’t caught many late season games at old Municipal Stadium, it does make sense

Hahaha, this is a bit, right? It's too cliche

I agree .. it’s a joke

Eventually NFL will become flag arena football.

Its sad but its for the safety for the players and fans

Those new Stadiums are Nice Though

The NFL doesn't make teams build indoor stadiums. That is up to the teams, city, and sometimes state. The NFL doesn't have a say in that

@@herbpeden5227 no question I agree

Ah yes. When you could actually choose different depths of snow because EA actually cared

Wish Madden would that again.

That’s what I was thinking. The thing about these 1960s/70s games was how “low tech” what everyone from the fans to the players were wearing. Today you could be *relatively* comfortable out there. I mean, it’s still damn cold but you’re less likely to have folks dying in the crowd.

Hi ya stranger

Lol quarterback got sacked 23 times that night

Horse manure. You, ronnie o, are full of it.

1994 Halloween night Same night as the plane crash in Newton County Indiana

The shortest punt in that game was 9 yards. It went from the Bear side of the 50 to the Packer side of the field. I never trust the memory of anyone. Even the players. Nostalgia is one of the greatest enemies of the truth.

I was an in seat beer vendor at the time. The transit system shut down and I was stuck in downtown Cleveland for hours. But I remember that game. I got a lot of tips that day because people felt bad for me from having to be out there

@@gerryvalaitis Geez that'd be rough. You earned every penny that day. Probably a good pay day though...knowing Browns fans, I'm guessing the philosophy was to drink until it wasn't cold anymore. haha

Honestly no I sold very little that day I got tipped mostly out of sympathy. Did that job for 15 years and never saw that bad of weather.

Other than that day. Unless you count 2008 with hurricane Ike.

Forgot to mention that it was a Browns win! I had tickets for this game but gave them to my 19 year old son and a friend of his. We live in Columbus! That nut drove up there and stayed the whole game!

They probably forgot that the Cardinals played in Chicago at that time and assumed that the Bears were playing the Eagles

And the Eagles beat the Rams 14-0 in the next NFL Title game, the only team to record back-to-back shutouts in championship games.

And the story of Steve van Buren getting to the game is interesting. .he took a taxi and a.train just like any fan would have done

@Tracey Woodward... Story was that he walked a whole bunch of miles to the stadium towards the end of that trip. Cuz the Trolleys werent running in that snow

singhcr You proubly know about how crazy Buffalo Bills fans are drinking Alcohol at 9am at tailgate parties, in 80s cold games Bills fans threw snowballs at the other team, It sucks Buffalo is called SNOW CAPITAL OF USA, its True Lake Erie dumps 12-14 feet every winter, even the weather guys cant figure out of all other Citys near 5 Great Lakes why Buffalo gets the most snow. 1 good thing were called MIAMI of the North cause we get lots of 90 degree days in Summer

I took my wife to that game. It was her 1st NFL game. Now she will only go to games in September.

Ah finally, another worthy jaguars fan!

The vinny curve kick was insane lol

Yeah, I know they included a few clips from it but not specifically mentioning it was kind of a glaring omission.

It makes sense tho pickle juice dehydrates u so that with a lot of water makes u sweat but with enough water u stay hydrated and cool

@@kghostthegreat If you get cramps in your legs the best solution is dill pickle juice. When the floods happened here in 2006 I worked cleanup crews in sweltering Iowa heat. The contractor I worked for had a 5 gal cooler of dill pickle juice on the back of his truck.

It was recent enough that I should but I had no idea any NFL game (much less MNF) in the last 20 years ended 3-0.

I do

100mph winds lmfao. Jesus talk about exaggerating. Maybe 20mph tops. 100mph is a cat 3 hurricane lmao

The Steelers made the mistake of putting down new sod without removing the old. Heavy rain turned the extra thick turf into a giant wet sponge

yes it's very cold in Buffalo but being a season ticket holder is the best feeling i think i only had one cold game and that was against the jets and it was 30 degrees buffalo has the best fans in the world!!!

Its unique characteristic is that it's... sort of like a Tootsie Roll pop... hard on the outside but soft (unfrozen) on the inside. Slick as ice to drive on too.

They had us in the first half ngl

Quite the score

I remember Young getting sacked. Got up with his face mask full of snow.
