KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Weather predictions for the AFC Championship game on Sunday have moderated greatly and the game no longer threatens to be one of the coldest in NFL history.
The AccuWeather forecast for Kansas City calls for a high temperature of 29 degrees and an overnight low of 23 degrees on Sunday for the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots. Kickoff is at 6:40 ET.
Forecasts for game time earlier in the week ranged from the single digits to below zero.
Even before the forecast moderated, neither team seemed concerned about the potential conditions.
