Temperatures in Kansas City for Saturday’s AFC Wild Card game between the Chiefs and Dolphins were expected to be cold.

But perhaps nobody expected just how cold things would get in Arrowhead Stadium.

How cold was it? Well, a now viral image of Kansas City coach Andy Reid’s legendary mustache absolutely filled with icicles will give you an idea.

When cameras panned to Reid late in the first half of the contest, fans were shocked to see that Reid’s mustache had almost totally frozen over. It resembled something you’d see from somebody trekking to to the North Pole, not someone on the sidelines of a football game.

“I mean, the real question is why his moustache was so wet in the first place,” one fan asked.

A valid question. But you gotta imagine a guy that size generates a good bit of snot in those sort of temps. I mean, who among us?!

“This is EPIC! Gross, but EPIC! 😂,” said another.

Fair enough.

Reid’s snotcicles were just the latest example of how insanely cold the -6 degree (-34 with wind chill) temperatures really were.

Prior to the game, a video went viral of an Arrowhead Stadium vendor taking a water bottle out of a refrigerator only for it to immediately ice over.

That’s next-level cold.

Forecasts all week showed that temperatures would be dangerously low in Kansas City. So low, even, that many fans called for the game to be moved or postponed.

But that didn’t happen.

Instead, the teams and fans in attendance soldiered on.

And it left us with an all-time great image of an all-time great coach.
