Two former Wisconsin Badgers advance to the NFL Conference Championships

NFL Divisional Round weekend ended with a thriller last night, as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills (again) thanks to Buffalo missing a field goal to the right (sounds familiar).

The weekend saw the Ravens handle the Texans easily, the 49ers squeak by the Packers, the Lions defeat the Buccaneers to advance to their first NFC Championship Game since 1991 and the aforementioned Chiefs win over the Bills.

In total, four Wisconsin products were in action: Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale, Ravens guard Kevin Zeitler, Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal and Bills lineman David Edwards.

Given the Ravens and Chiefs win, Chenal and Zeitler are the two former Wisconsin Badgers to advance to the NFL Conference Championships.

The game was streaming only on Peacock, Jason Garrett was somehow on the call, Taylor Swift arrived wearing a jacket made by the wife of 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk and, most importantly, the game was the fourth-coldest in NFL history.

The broadcast made sure to emphasize the latter, often with an ongoing graphic with the real-time temperature and wind chill.

Many in that weather resort to more layers, or whatever is necessary to somehow stay warm. Others played football at the University of Wisconsin.

Leo Chenal counts as the latter:
