Forget about playing in a dome, on the fake grass, on real grass ( even though I love grass stains), inside a retractable roof or even in the rain....THIS is a picture of how football is supposed to be in December. Twenty-two players lined up across one another, pushing each other through the sludge/snow. Working so hard that they aren't even cold. This is the type of football game I want to see when the playoffs are on the line and a team is trying to rebuild their franchise or finally breakthrough against a rival. This is the weather they speak about when people tell tales of games they watched 40 years prior. (Thanks to Getty Images for the pictures)
