Wild Card Round
January 8, 1994

AFC: Slipknot 17, Machine Head 23 Game Time: 12:30pm EST/ 11:30am CST

Weather: 4°F, Cloudy

In what is the coldest game in the playoff history of Machine Head and the coldest playoff game Slipknot has ever hosted. Machine Head pulled off their first playoff win ever in franchise history off of a key defensive turnover which turned into an offensive touchdown with three minutes left in the game.

NFC: Meshuggah 33, Korn 7 Game Time: 4pm EST/ 3pm CST

Weather: 6°F, Fair

In a similar frigid matchup in which temperatures dropped to -5°F by the end of the game, Meshuggah ended Korn's four game win streak by forcing six turnovers and sacking Jonathan Davis seven times.

January 9, 1994

NFC: Mudvayne  Game Time: 12:30pm EST/ 11:30am CST

Weather: 18°F, Cloudy

....

AFC: Mastodon 44, Lamb Of God 41 OT Game Time: 4pm EST

Weather: 45°F, Fair

In the second greatest comeback in playoff history, in what is known as Call of the Mastodon, Mastodon scored 28 unanswered points in the second half after being down 34-6 with 11:42 left in the third quarter to eventually bring the game into overtime and win on a 39 yard field goal to give them their first playoff win in seven years. Lamb Of God had 486 yards of offense, but their three turnovers to Mastodon's two would determine the outcome.

Divisional Round
January 15, 1994

Coheed and Cambria 27, Machine Head 21 Game Time: 12:30pm EST

Weather: 12°F, Mostly Cloudy

Machine Head had entered the playoffs as the final AFC team to make it in, and they hardly seemed a match for the top seeded Coheed and Cambria, but C&C nearly lost the game thanks to two turnovers and six given up sacks. Machine Head had just played in the coldest playoff game in their franchise history one week beforehand, and they were certainly not phased by the cold this time around.
