The NFL officially turned into a winter wonderland in Week 16.
The league played eight games that started with freezing temperatures on Saturday, which was a single-day record. It was so cold in Nashville that the Texans-Titans game was actually delayed an hour due to power outages in Tennessee that were ordered due to extreme cold.
The Panthers played their coldest home game in franchise history (20 degrees at kick-off), which was a 37-23 win over the Lions. The Ravens also had their coldest home game in franchise history (17 degrees), a 17-9 win over the Falcons. Not to be outdone, the Seahawks faced a temperature (12 degrees) which was the coldest in franchise history for any regular season game.
One game where weather was not an issue was in Minnesota, where the Vikings beat the Giants 27-24 on Greg Joseph’s game-winning field goal from 61 yards. The kick was the fifth-longest field goal in NFL history. The Vikings are now 11-0 in single-score games this season, which is the most single-season single-score wins in NFL history.
So what kind of mark do you get to win on a 61-yard field goal? Let’s jump into the Week 16 Notes and find out.
On Christmas Sunday, the elements were much better as we saw another Tom Brady comeback in the desert, Aaron Rodgers keeping the Packers alive in Miami and Baker Mayfield scoring 50 points in LA.
