I remember watching that game on TV.... Sadly, they left out Ditkas' "They shoulda scored while the sun was shining like we did" comment.

I was living in NJ at the time and my friends who are Eagle fans were screaming for the game to be suspended and crying foul when it wasn't.
LOL !

Ha! Never heard that before. Awesome.

Well I see we're back in operation again. Yeah that Fog Bowl game had to be one of the more interesting weather challenged games in NFL history.

I feel bad for those people that bought tickets for a high price and all the saw was the fog.. I don't really remember the game, perhaps because I wasn't born yet, you guys can something makes me feel like a baby..

A guy next to us had a radio but it didn't really help because the announcers couldn't see what was going on. At one point Duerson, I think, either intercepted a pass or picked up a fumble and all we saw was one Bear player running out of the fog. It was incredible.

Thanks for sharing that Bantam. I think it's easier to picture what it might have been like when it's described by someone who was there.
