Some Kansas City Chiefs fans who braved the below-freezing temperatures to watch the Kansas City Chiefs against the Miami Dolphins during the 2023 NFL Playoffs on Jan. 13 – when it was -4 degrees Fahrenheit and wind chills measured at -20 at kickoff – could possibly need to have amputations after suffering frostbite.

The Chiefs’ 26-7 playoff victory over the Dolphins was the fourth-coldest football game to be played in NFL history. It was so cold that Patrick Mahomes' helmet shattered upon impact. Chiefs head coach, Andy Reid, had his mustache freeze.

By the end of the Chiefs-Dolphins playoff game, the temperature was measured at -9 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind chill of minue-28 degrees, according to the Peacock broadcast.

Unfortunately, due to the extreme cold, dozens of fans suffered from frostbite and were transported to the hospital with hypothermia-related injuries, according to a Kansas City Fire Department spokesperson.

According to Nexstar’s WDAF, Dr. Megan Garcia, the medical director of the Grossman Burn Center in Kansas City, 70% of the patients admitted due to frostbite during the extreme cold weather had been advised to undergo amputation.

Dr. Garcia said that 30% of the patients who had suffered from frostbite are dealing with ongoing health problems.

Several have lost their middle fingers from their gesticulations at the refs after questionable calls.  They exposed their fingers to the cold for a bit too long.  Others will have to have nipplectomies, those who sought T.V. face time by exposing their flabby chests and beer bellies to the world to prove they were not cold.  Kansas City morns for those ardent women.

$72 for WC, $90 for divisional and $140 for AFC Championship were my cost for uppers had they played in all those games

Also, I just renewed my season tickets so if anyone has interest in coming to Arrowhead for a game hit me up

Gracious offer.  I would definitely have accepted if Green Bay was coming to town.  I was there some years back and I found the fans gracious and the tailgating to be first rate.  Walking around i wass invited to join several groups and to sample their cooking.  Top flight folks.
