I was 8 at the time, it was -27 for the air temperature in Northern WI at kickoff. The NFC championship broke my heart. Goddamned Joe Montana.

I was 11 years old at the time and I remember this. It was BRUTAL.

It was so cold that the weather provided a natural audio delay for Dick and Merlin. I remember that Sunday and Monday as being two of the coldest days of my life, with wicked winds that would take your breath away.

This game might have been colder than the '67 ice bowl between dallas and green bay.

No way in hell the Chargers would have enough left in the tank to take the Bengals after the Miami game.

That ball had to be like catching, and kicking a brick. -59 degree wind chill? I'm from NY, so I know cold, but that is fucking COLD!

So the Chargers beat the Dolphins in sunny Miami, Florida in 2OT's and then had to walk into -59 with the wind chill the very next week! The wind was brutal, I remember hearing a couple of people died in Cinci on this day.

I seen this intro of NBC's coverage of the 1981 AFC Championship during the NBC Sports Network special "NBC Sports: A Storied Journey", which aired on January 2, 2012.
