53 greatest moments in Highmark Stadium history: #49 — The Coldest Game in Team History

On January 15 1994, en route to their fourth straight Super Bowl appearance, the Buffalo Bills hosted the Los Angeles Raiders in the AFC Divisional Round in what still stands as the coldest game in team history — and one of the coldest the league has ever seen. Temperatures were near zero degrees with wind chills of -32 degrees. The stadium had been sold out of it’s 80,000 capacity but it hosted “just” 62,000 fans brave enough to bare the harsh conditions.

The Raiders were quarterbacked by former New York Giant Jeff Hostetler, the signal caller behind Buffalo’s first Super Bowl loss.
