What happened to Stroud? At one point, I thought someone should remind him he is throwing to the light jerseys not the dark ones........

I have no proof at all but I do think cold weather teams have an advantage at this time of year. Many of KC's play-off games were in bitterly cold temperatures or sometimes in wet weather. I think it was to their advantage over teams that play in milder weather.

I think the commentators agree, I've heard Chris Collinsworth, Tony Romo, Jason Kelce, the Manning Bros, Tom Brady, Kirk Heibstreit, the coach from Steelers or Colts Tony someone all say that - playing in the cold stadiums in 20 °, 10 ° or lower is brutal. Hands can't grip the ball as well, the ground doesn't give when it's frozen, you sit on the bench between possessions, etc.

I guess it is tough to practice and prep for cold weather playing when you live in a southern climate.

I would say Denver is certainly not as hard to acclimate to, but I do see some teams struggling, especially if their game is primarily a run game.
