How does cold weather impact NFL teams? Here's a quick look

The average high temperature in Minneapolis on Jan. 10 is 23 degrees. That’s cold, but anyone who lives in Minnesota will also tell you that 23 is more or less bearable. You can function without extreme discomfort, while dressed appropriately, at 23 degrees. You can even enjoy a lot of outdoor activities.

The expected high temperature on Sunday, Jan. 10, 2016 — otherwise known as this Sunday, and also known as the date of the Vikings/Seahawks playoff game — is 0 degrees. None. No degrees. As in, 23 degrees colder than average. So Sunday will not just be cold.
