December 31st, 1988 - The FOG BOWL - Soldier Field- This has to be one my earliest and most memorable NFL moments from being a youngster. Coach Buddy Ryan was back in Chicago to take on his arch nemesis Mike Ditka & the Bears in an NFC Divisional Playoff Game. An eerie fog began to roll in right before halftime, with the Bears ahead 17-6. The Fog was so thick the coaches couldn’t even see what was happening from the sidelines. Verne & Terry in the CBS press box couldn’t see 10 ft in front of them! The Bears ended up holding on for a 20-12 victory. They hosted the 49ers in the NFC Championship the next weekend, but were routed 28-3 by Montana & Co. Imagine all the Talking Heads if they had the Internet back then. Happy New Years Dudes!!
