The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Dallas Cowboys in 2000 (41-14) in what was at that time the hottest game in Cowboys' history. The Eagles drank pickle juice to stay hydrated. The Cowboys wilted in the heat even though the Eagles were wearing dark green and stood in the sun. Several Cowboy players went down with cramps.

I'm sure there are other times when something like this has happened but I remember this one. Heat and humidity can have an effect on the players but knowing how to prevent and/or overcome it can limit the impact it has on them.
