Bears quarterback Justin Fields warms up before Saturday’s game against the Bills.

The Bears are playing one of the coldest home games in franchise history.

When their game against the Bills kicked off Saturday, the temperature was 9 degrees. That’s the fifth-coldest home game the Bears have played at Soldier Field.

The Bears’ coldest home game ever was Dec. 22, 2008 — a game against the rival Packers when the kickoff temperature was 2 degrees. Wind chill was -13.

Wind chill was -12 at kickoff Saturday — that’s tied for the third-coldest in the history of Bears home games — with the wind blowing 22 mph.
