Among sports-watching windows, the NFL’s expanded wild-card weekend is top-tier stuff: six games spread over three days, with all sorts of implications. This year, that includes a tantalizing Saturday night showdown, with the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs hosting former teammate Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins.
The game is a rematch of the teams’ grinder Week 9 meeting in November, when both entered with 6-2 records and the Chiefs prevailed, 21-14. It may also prove to be the coldest playoff game in Kansas City history, with temperatures in the single digits at kickoff and possibly plunging below zero later on.
