The 49ers had little trouble beating the Green Bay Packers in last year’s NFL playoffs. But that was in balmy San Francisco.Sunday’s rematch is in Green Bay, where temperatures for the wild-card showdown at Lambeau Field are expected to dip below zero. The wind chill, according to the National Weather Service, could drop to 30 below.“You can get frostbite within 30 to 40 minutes in these temperatures if you’re not covered up,” said Roy Eckberg, a meteorologist with the weather service in Green Bay.

As a long time Packers fan, I hope they stomp the San FranCrisco Gay Area Sixty-Niners teeth hard into the frozen curb.
In 1967 the Dallas Cowboys were 9-5 including the NFL Championship game, and the Greenbay Packers were 9-4-1. Considering Green Bay won the championship game, that means that going into that game, Dallas had a 9-4 record and Green Bay had an 8-4-1 record. That means Dallas had the better record by a half game going into the 1967 championship game.

Just as an aside (for anyone interested) -- before doing NFL Films, John Facenda used to be a popular television newscaster in Philadelphia in the 1950's and beyond.
The frozen tundra will be frozen? Jeez, I thought it would be 80 and sunny there. Where is global warming? It isn’t in Green Bay.
Niners are toast. They’ll run up the score in the first half and then get smoked in the 2nd half when the cold catches up with them. I think I saw this happen already in a previous game, and that was indoors. They’re toast.
Wind chill in the Freezer Bowl 23 years ago, San Diego at Cincinnati: Minus 59 degrees.

Um. WRONG. They played a fourteen game regular season.
You better go look at your own links. It shows the regular and post season games and records. Quote from your link (backed up by tables showing game by game scores): “The Packers finished the regular season 9–4–1..” which they did.
The Cowboys were 9-5 in the regular season.
Thanks for that link!
Win your division, and you wouldn't have this problem.
Best one I found. The local radio station started playing it this week after I e-mailed it to one of their ‘morning talent.’ :)
