One Miami Dolphins fan went to extreme lengths to support his team Saturday as they took on the Kansas City Chiefs on Wild Card Weekend.
A man went viral on social media for going shirtless despite the sub-zero atmosphere at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
The crazed fan at least wore a Dolphins beanie. It served the dual purpose of keeping his dome warm and letting onlookers know what team he was supporting.

The temperature was already below freezing point at kickoff with wind chill hitting lows of up to -27 degrees.
Tonight's kickoff temp is -4 degrees @GEHAField. It marks the 4th coldest kickoff temp in NFL history. The wind chill is -27, the 3rd coldest kickoff wind chill in NFL history.

While some spectators on X were amused by the fanatical level of sacrifice the fan was making for the sake of sports fandom, others genuinely worried for the man’s health.
funny for a second but he could literally die put a shirt on old man

Hurting himself for clout I’m afraid

Ah yes. There is always at least 1 shirtless fan ready for hypothermia.

If the fan truly was chasing clout, then he got significantly less than he would have from a normal playoff game thanks to Peacock.
Several fans were left out in the cold from watching the Chiefs-Dolphins game, which was tied exclusively with the NBCUniversal streaming service. They were not happy about it.
Fans who purchased a subscription to watch the game got free bonus content in the form of a shirtless Dolphins fan’s battle against getting hypothermia.
