After the play was reviewed, the call was overturned and the ball was given back to the Patriots because of what was thought to be an apparent "tuck" by Tom Brady. The Patriots would go on to win the game.

It's one of the most controversial calls in NFL history and will never be forgotten. As for the weather, temperatures were below freezing and it snowed almost the entire game in Foxborough.

#2 - The Ice Bowl

The 1967 NFC Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys is famously known as the Ice Bowl. It is one of the most memorable games in NFL history known for the intense weather.

It was 13 degrees below zero at Lambeau Field, earning it the nickname of the 'Frozen Tundra.'

At kickoff, the temperature was -13 degrees Fahrenheit.

And that number was down to -18 by the time Bart Starr snuck over the goal line to win the game for the @packers.

Dubbed "The Ice Bowl," the 1967 NFL Championship is believed to be the coldest game in NFL history.
