Bundle up, Chiefs fans. The weather at Arrowhead Stadium this Saturday night is supposed to be brutal.

Current weather forecasts predict -30 degree wind chill temperatures at Arrowhead. The good news is in the second half, the number should jump up to a balmy -14 degrees.

Fans have been wondering whether the NFL will alter the playoff schedule to play the game in warmer temperatures. But football is football. In other words, play on.

According to a report, the NFL is not expected to alter the schedule. The Chiefs will host the Dolphins on Saturday night as long as everything goes according to plan.

“The wind chill in Kansas City Saturday night will be “dangerously cold,” the National Weather Service says. The latest forecast approaches a wind chill of -30 degrees. An NFL source told me yesterday there will be no schedule change for the Dolphins-Chiefs game,” Andy Slater reports.

Saturday night’s postseason game has a chance to be one of the coldest in NFL history.
