A football game was played in fog so thick that the players couldn’t see the field!
A 1988 playoff game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears will always be remembered as the “Fog Bowl.” A dense, heavy fog rolled in during the game’s 2nd quarter that made for almost zero-visibility for the fans…and the players!
The fog got so intense that the refs had to call out each play as it was made, and Terry Bradshaw, who was announcing the game, said this was his most frustrating football moment on OR off the field!
The Bears ending up winning the game with a score of 20-12 despite the weather. Many players complained that they couldn’t see the sidelines or the first-down markers, but that didn’t change the outcome of the game.
