The Latest on the NFL's 15th Sunday. (all times Eastern):

1 p.m.

The Chicago Bears are playing one of the coldest home games in franchise history.

The game-time temperature for their matchup against Green Bay on Sunday was 11 degrees with a minus-4 wind chill.

Chicago hosted the Packers in 3-degree temperature and a minus-15 wind chill — the lowest ever for a Bears home game — on Dec. 18, 1983. The Bears' coldest home game, temperature-wise, was against Green Bay on Dec. 22, 2008, when it was 2 degrees with a minus-13 wind chill.

Green Bay, of course, played the coldest NFL game on record when it beat Dallas in the 1967 NFL championship game — the "Ice Bowl."

Want to see the Titans-Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium? There's still time, and it won't even break the holiday budget.

With an hour left before kickoff, the ticket site cheaptickets.com had four seats together in the upper corner of the stadium for $2 apiece — less than a cup of coffee at most places. Or, if you're willing to pony up double that, a family of four could sit in the upper deck right at the 50-yard line.

Of course, that's assuming you can handle the minus-15 wind chill.

Parking will still set you back $40.
