In subzero temperatures, WR Rashee Rice has 130 receiving yards in Chiefs' wild-card win over Dolphins - ESPN

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice is from Dallas and played in college at SMU, so he's never played a game in weather remotely approaching that from Saturday night's Kansas City Chiefs wild-card playoff game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Rice looked a natural with the temperature minus-4 degrees at kickoff, the fourth coldest playoff game in NFL history. Rice had 130 receiving yards, sixth-most by a rookie in the playoffs in league history, and a touchdown on eight catches as the Chiefs advanced to next week's divisional round with a 26-7 win over the Miami Dolphins.

«I feel like, to be honest, it was another game,'' Rice said. „Everybody out here was playing for each other, so it was just like we just put the weather to the side and knew that our opponents didn't want to be here out here in this cold as much as we didn't.''

The Chiefs, who led the league during the regular season in dropped passes and were among the leaders in turnovers, played a relatively clean game given the circumstances. They had a couple of drops, but were able to overcome them each time. They didn't commit a turnover until running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumbled in the final minutes of the game as the Chiefs were merely trying to kill the clock.

Patrick Mahomes was 23-of-41 for 262 yards and had an 11-yard scoring toss to Rice, who ran a shallow crossing route, caught the short pass and ran untouched to the end zone.

“The guys accepted the challenge,'' Mahomes said. „We were able to throw the ball, we were able to run the ball... I thought the [offensive] line did a great job and we had that mentality all week that we're going to go out there and play football. We know it's cold, but we're going to go out there and play football and
