When the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for the championship of the National Football League, the temperature was 14 degrees below zero (a steady 14-mph wind created windchills of -46·). But if the Cowboys were bothered by the cold, you couldnʹt tell from the way they were playing.
