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.

The Bills had that exact problem last year. Except they outplayed the Dolphins for the first half. By halfway through the third quarter, you could see the 95 degree temps and the sun had absolutely drained many of the Bills. And by the fourth quarter, the heat helped to win the game. This has been a problem so long that even Wikipedia acknowledges that the Dolphins used to never have 1pm starts due to heat problems on the north side. Why they've restarted this is beyond me.

No one should play a game in Miami at 1pm in September unless the Dolphins fix their old stadium or build a new one.

And no one should play a game in the bills stadium until they build a new one with a roof for the snow. Oh they are building a new one? And they're still not building a roof? Interesting.

And sorry NY taxpayers, your roads and schools will have to wait.

Bad analogy. Snow affects all players at the bills stadium. From the sound of it at the dolphins stadium this issue moreso impacts the visiting team.
