How much of Broncos' melt-down in Miami was related to the heat on their sidelines? (lemmy.ca)

I didn't watch that game till late last night on replay. Saw that Denver was in the hot sun most of the game and I recall heat being an issue on the visitor's sidelines at that stadium, that it gets up to or over 100F when the regular temp is in the 80s. I wonder if Broncos weren't prepared for that and just wilted in that Miami heat. Peyton & training staff should have prepared team for it so it's on them. Miami has the climate advantage like Buffalo has in December/January.

Probably some part of it, but I doubt they win at in Denver, let alone a neutral site. The heat difference is not giving the Dolphins a 50 point advantage. And like you said, they knew about it going in, it’s been talked about extensively in the early part of the season the last few years.

Personally I’m all for it, home advantage has been shrinking in pretty much all sports lately so anything that gives the home team a slight edge is more fun in my book.

I don't think they win in Denver either. I don't think the margin would've been as big as this if heat wasn't a factor. I could see a 45-20 or 50-20 score instead.
