Saturday's AFC wild-card matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs could rank as one of the coldest games in NFL history, and it appears a lot of fans would rather watch the action from the comfort of their homes.

Ticket prices have dropped significantly ahead of the game, with some listed as low as $42 on the secondary market as of Friday morning.

Temperatures are projected to reach as low as minus 5 degrees Fahrenheit at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday night, which would mark the coldest football game ever played in Kansas City, according to ESPN's Anthony Gharib.

The forecast for the 8 p.m. ET kickoff is currently minus 1 with a minus 23 wind chill. If that holds up, it will be the seventh playoff game in NFL history to be played in zero-degree temperatures or below.

The coldest NFL game on record is the 1967 "Ice Bowl" at Lambeau Field, which reached minus 13 with a wind chill of minus 48.
