- On November 17, 1963, Wrigley Field in Chicago was the site of the biggest regular season game of the 1963 NFL season. Heading into the game both the host Chicago Bears and the visiting Green Bay Packers had a record of 8-1.
Enjoy the highlights of this key game in the 1963 NFL season. Of note Bears placekicker Roger LeClerc had four field goals in this game. The Bears would defeat the Packers in this game by a score of 26-7.
If Mr Willie Galimore had lived. He would have been one of the Greatest Running Backs in NFL History.
When did he give evidence of that during his seven- year career?
@@kevinmadden1645 He didn't.
Imagine if Willie had lived; he and Gale Sayers would have been almost unstoppable.
@@kwdrm1If Willie Galimore
Football doesn't die, who says Halas doesn't pass on Sayers!?
No hot dogging or taunting! Just football! How nice
Willie Gallimore, the reason number 28 is retired by the Bears. He had a great future that was tragically cut short. I still can't believe that decades passed before Chicago finally retired Butkus' #51 and Ditka's #89. What the bleep took so long?
Tragic! John Farington as well.
Bears have so many retired numbers, they had to delay the retirements of 40 and 51
It's the Chicago Bears. Not much class.
Good old butka and dickus
Butkus had sued the Bears so there was not much love between him and Papa Bear.
Championship season. This defense was almost as good as the 1985 Bears.
The Bears should play one of their preseason games at Wrigley Field.
No, Not good enough for even preseason games they didn't even do that back in 1963
It would stun football fans today to see a placekicker on the kickoff defense team - but not kicking off (as was the case for the Bears' Bobby Leclaire). In those days, kickers were simply position players with a strong foot. Also, note how the kicker ran straight up to the ball. Again, the days of the sidewinding placekick were still in the future.
Soccer style they call it
Even though it was small and the field was squeezed in, Wrigley Field was an outstanding place to watch a game.
My dad used to take me down to wrigley field and I got to see Vince Lombardi and the greenbay packers.one of the true dynasties in the nfl. I was only a kid,but I still remember those games.my father once told me the only head coach Vince Lombardi would shake hands with after the game was George halas. I think he was right,I never saw Lombardi run to the other side of the field after the game to shake hands or talk to a opposing coach.
Jack Brickhouse at the microphone
I wish I could warn them what would happen 5 days later in Dallas
And Pete Rozelle had the NFL play its games the following Sunday after that day.
You didn't even know who the hell Lee Harvey Oswald was on November 17, 1963 but he was no more one week later on the 24 th
I was 10 years old, and the NFL's television policy in those days was to black out games in the market of the home team. My father and I drove to the home of business associates of his in Milwaukee, and we watched the game in their living room -- the only Bears fans in a roomful of Packers fans.
Five days later, John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
I remember how angry I was that always sold out home games were blacked out in Chicago. This included the 1963 Championship game against the Giants. This policy never made sense in Chicago and the Blackhawks also had all home games never on TV, including playoffs.

So, James -- perhaps you remember Ashkenaz deli on Morse Avenue in Rogers Park. Best damn deli in the city. My father went to the '63 championship game with Sam Ashkenaz. He probably froze his ass off.
Regarding the Blackhawks, it was always my contention that Rocky Wirtz (at least, before the end) adopted the George Costanza philosophy regarding his ownership of the Blackhawks: "Whatever my father and grandfather did, I will do the opposite!" That was the key to those Stanley Cups in the 2010s. Arthur and Bill Wirtz were jerks and nearly destroyed the League with their selfish, idiotic policies. I remember going to Los Angeles in the late 90s, wearing a Blackhawks t-shirt. No one even knew whose logo it was.
When I was fifteen, I remember standing in the bowels of the old Stadium with a friend between periods. This would have been about the '68-'69 season. Suddenly, an entourage of suits swept through, knocking me on my skinny, little, fifteen-year-old ass. They didn't even pause to help me up or to apologize. An Andy Frain usher said in reverent tones, "Ooh, that was Mr. Wirtz." Even at the tender age of fifteen, I remember thinking, "Well, if that was Mr. Wirtz, and he knocks a fifteen-year-old kid on his ass, and doesn't even stop to apologize, he must be a real horse's ass." Arthur and Bill Wirtz' influence nearly ruined the NHL. The Hawks and the League, generally, revived under Rocky's ownership.
@@rickrose5377 I grew up on the west side of Chicago and Cicero so I never got to the Jewish delis and great bagels of Rogers Park until I was older. Fully concur with you the Blackhawk observations. They lost me when they would not pay Bobby Hull. Rocky Wirtz saved the franchise and from a friend I have who worked for him, he was a good guy personally. Sure you have some memories of Wrigley as well from this era.
@@rickrose5377 Regret I never had the pleasure to go to Ashkenaz. I grew up on the west side of Chicago and Cicero. Don't think your Dad froze his ass off at 63 Championship game. I remember it as being a fairly mild day in December.
Could not agree with you more about the Blackhawks and Wirtz family. Loved the Seinfeld reference. Old man Wirtz lost me when he would not pay Bobby Hull and let him leave for Winnipeg. Rocky saved the franchise and did much to make me a fan again. Know somebody who worked for Rocky and she had nothing but good things to say about him.

James, I just checked to confirm my memory about '63. 9° at kickoff. I think I went to about four Bears games with my dad (he passed away in December, 1990), but one of them was Gale Sayers' 6 touchdown game against the Niners in the mud.
Have a terrific week, James. You're an increasingly rare species: a gentleman on the internet.
That Bear Defense was awesome!Gallimore was a great back,and the Pass defense was the best they ever had>
I remember all these guys
John F. Kennedy was assassinated 5 days later in Dallas! The Bears had to go to Pittsburgh the following Sunday! A tie in that game, thanks to a huge play by Da Coach, gave the Bears the edge in the division!
2 legends halas lombardi
That's Jack Brickhouse on the play by play. Anyone who lived in Chicago area in the 60s and 70s knows Hey Hey Brickhouse
Interesting fact Bears safety Dave Whitsell is still the single season Int. leader for the Saints. That's a record set in their inagural season in 67 and has never been broken
Bears whipping the Packers at Wrigley! Awesom
They also beat them in the season opener at City Stadium 10 -3
Yeah, it hasn't been much of a rivalry since then. Man the Bears looked good from what I've seen of that year. To be fair, though, the Packers were minus Hornung, who was suspended for . . gambling!
1963 Bears had an outstanding defense. Gallomire and Marconi complemented each other on offense - good running tandem.
First time I have seen film from this game. The Bears had a dominant D that year, but the crazy thing is GB scored 87 points in the two games in 1962, and just 10 in 1963. Both teams had roughly the same personnel from year to year, although Starr was injured and did not play in this game and his backups threw 5 interceptions. The Bears had a new defensive coordinator in 1963 too, but that doesn’t account for a turnaround of this magnitude. They just shut the Packers down. I think GB had humiliated the Bears in those two blowouts in 1962, and they were motivated beyond belief in 1963.
The Packers were without Paul Hornung. He was their best player; probably the best player in the NFL. The new DC you talk about was George Allen.
Yes, Hornung suspension and Starr had a broken hand and returned the next week. John Roach was not very good. But the Bears were playing solid all year. GB only lost 2 games that season but both to the Bears. The 10-3 opening day loss was a shock. Starr threw 5 Ints in that one. Still the Bears had to survive 2 ties to Pittsburgh and Minnesota or GB would have slipped by them.
@@deepcosmiclove George Allen joined the Bears in 1959 and Jim Brown was the best player in the NFL
@@howardcosell2022 How did your interview with the great Jim Brown go Howard? Did he tell you how he never threw a block in his life? Did he tell you how many QBs (usually the unfortunate Milt Plum) he left open to be blindsided while he threw an imaginary block?
@@howardcosell2022 You know Howard I always knew you didn't know much about football. George Allen may have been on the Bears' staff since 1959 but he became fulltime DC in 1963. Don't you have staff of sycophants to look this stuff up anymore?
Jack Brickhouse is the narrator! Did Bears games as well as Cubs and also some White Sox.
Jack Brickhouse and Irv Kupcinet did Bears games and they were awful.
1963 /1985 you would have thought the bears could sustain their greatness but for whatever reason they could not Go Pack Go
the Bears have made the playoffs 6 times in the last 29 years. 1994, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2018
since 1992
Lions? 3 times in the last 21 years. (2011, 2014, 2016)
Long drought for the Lions. Last title in 1957?
These things go in cycles. Right now it is a long cycle.
1977 1979 1984 1985( SBChamps) 1986 1987 1988 1990 1991
One of the few times that a team beat Lombardi's Packers twice in the same season. The Bears would later defeat the Giants for the NFL title.
I remember back then gas was a nickel and beer was free
Funny to see someone else other than sweetness wear #34, he was in diapers at the time...😂
Actually, Walter was nine years old at the time; I don't think he'd be wearing diapers!
@@berniecioffoletti3398 No I'm sure he wasn't....lol...I didn't take the time to do the math....lol.
@@danielhansen9443 no prob!
#34: Joe Marconi - teammate of Sam Huff at West Virginia .
Lombardi must have been rippin
Where's Bart Starr? No wonder they lost.
This is last time Bears beat GB? Kidding, LOL. But there are 5 year old kids out there now who have never seen a Bear win or Packer loss in the rivalry.
On that day,I listened to the Giants destroy the 49'ers.
Then I went out to bowl a few games.
After which I went home to watch the Jets lose on an automatic safety at Denver.
Im not sure the bears will ever have a coach like ditka with so much heart and was so invested in the pride of the bears... He still did great without buddy but they were better together it's a shame that 80s team couldn't stay fully intact ...don't forget Leslie Frazier! but back to the 63 bears...that was a nasty team too!
Ditka took the best football team Chicago has ever seen and won a total of one championships. He was a clown as a coach. All hat and no cattle.
The only loss by the Bears that year: to the lowly SF 49ers.
The Bears beat the Packers twice that year. Those were the only Packer losses.
Ditka and Morris are featured at the start and then don’t get one highlight.
Back when football was a game, and a competent man was occupying the White House.
😂 That game was played the Sunday before JFKs assassination
Better game that year was the Thanksgiving game!
And the Bears haven't beaten the Packers since.
Yes they have, their next win over the Packers was 31-10 on October 31, 1965 at the time the Packers were 6-0 , undefeated no more
Let’s kick some packers ass again!!
