TF I wasn't paying attention for like 2 seconds and I look back and Bill Nye is there
KingOfShock same with me, and his voice sounded like boomer esiason
I laughed way to hard at this
Nye knows more about fog than gender.
Bill Nye is a fake scientist
Aka fake scientist!
Whoever is the creative director for NFL Films is an absolute monster. This is fucking quality editing man
We need to thank Mike Ditka & Buddy Ryan for agreeing to continue to play because this game became unique and here we are talking about what we witnessed all these years and counting.
Rip to all the people who paid for that game...
Harambe just like you rip
Harambe I would be proud to say I went to the fog Bowl it wasn't just the same old thing it was different it was a once in a lifetime experience that we'll probably never see in and NFL game again
Harambe some of the stadium could see... just not the very top
Very memorable for those who attended it.
Harambe looking back on it I think it would be pretty cool to be able to say you went to the fog Bowl
I remember watching that game at a young age at the time live and I thought there was something wrong with the TV.
Miller2h41 lol
Miller2h41 .

Love how ditka kept his shades on. What an absolute legend 😂
He had to be completely blind
I want this to happen again in my lifetime.
USC played in a similar fog game in the late 2000s against an Oregon school. If I find a clip I'll post it
@Orange- I'm an Eagles fan and this game was awful!!! This was, to me, our shot to win a playoff game. You couldn't see anything in TV. When you're on opposite end of this, it sucks. I can't see the NFL letting Brady or Mahomes play in this weather. I just can't. You take care and stay safe 😷
Army Navy game right now
Its almost happening during lsu vs fl
@@MicahHeard that’s why I’m here.
If I were a QB dropping back for a pass, I’d totally run 20 yards back and lose everyone and find the furthest sideline to run towards a TD
A genius move! That’ll actually work 😂
Cunningham probably could of pulled it off especially wearing all white.
To this day, it boggles my mind why Cunningham never tried something like that. What did he have to lose? This was a playoff game with everything on the line. It's not like Buddy Ryan could stop him from doing it.
The Eagles should have ran numerous trick plays too to really take advantage of the fog. What could the Bears have done to stop it? The fog made it nearly impossible to see, so if they timed it well, they could've had a guy running down the left or right side of field that nobody was paying attention to until it was too late.
If the fog got so thick it actually obscured the field, I’d be running belly, veer and FB option like crazy 😂 how could they tell who really got the carry?
I just said the same thing out loud I’m like run backwards to your own endzone find the sideline and book it and pray someone like singletary don’t spear you 😭😅
"Leave it to Mike (Singletary) to get the Scriptures in there." LOL
It was Dan Hampton that first said something about bible
@@erikdrum6934 Depending who they interviewed first, technically.
Poor Steve. ALS is finishing him off rapidly.
how did the teams even throw the football in that lol
rip btw
Light Yagami I'm pretty sure both teams ran the ball a lot when the fog got to its thickest point. It was only completely blinding for a little while
Both teams said later they could throw the ball only in the middle of the field because they couldn't see sideline to sideline.
well, you grip the ball ....
They didn't, at least once in the second half. Several Eagles commentators, in the decades since, have stated that they felt the fog truly shut down the Eagles passing advantage, and that they were screaming to the Commissioner for a postponement. It never came, because there's no real Safety Hazard from fog, and if the conditions favor the rushing game, them's the breaks.
"bro your stuff is on fire"
oPtimus Someone better call the fire department
Giraffe Lord "it's your stuff"
Giraffe Lord what a fake
it was the fans smokin up😍
"It was rolling over the stands like in that movie 'The Ten Commandments'" lol I was thinking more like 'The Fog' John Carpenter's of course (:
Coolest game to play in the history of football for sure.
No doubt about it because here we are talking about all these years later. Mother Nature is unpredictable so she can the game even more interesting with weather.
@@Miller2h41 and the mud bowl
CK16 Striker mud bowl is cool but it’s also something a lot of us did as kids once or twice. It’s rained for almost a two days straight one summer and their was already a dirt spot about the size of a wrestling ring in this big field that a church let us play in(really small town) And we just played 3 on 3 tryna get the ball to the either side of the circle. Turned into a literal mud pit after about 30 minutes and our parents all payed to redo the grass there😂we were covered in mud and our feet would sink about a half inch of mud everywhere. So much fun. But this fog weather is something so special that it’s the coolest thing. Literally never happens.
Dude they got Bill Nye the science guy 😂😂😂😂😂
Joshua Meyer Who isn't even a real scientist
He's an engineer, that's enough.
Still got more money than me and you combined I bet.
I know a guy who's an engineer for a construction company. That doesn't mean I value his intellect on large-scale issues of science.
Fabio has more qualifications to be a scientist than Bill does. Seriously. Look it up.
@@Vladpryde he never called himself a scientist... it was a kids show called "bill nye the science guy" sorry you're reaching there sweetheart.
There is nothing in sports like this game...it is played in the elements ... it is primordial ..the test of man's concentration , focus and determination ...and we tap into a long dead essence and band together to win a game in the elements ... nothing like this game in all of sports.
SuperOmnicron amen.
Wrestling
+Kieran Ryan has zero to do with the elements but nice try lmao
+SuperOmnicron too bad there is no way the NFL would ever let teams play in that. They'd say it was "for safety" but really they wouldn't make that sweet TV money.
I mean, it's not like you lazy Americans need 2 teams for defence and offence, it's not like there's a total of around 20 minutes of actual gameplay per game, it's not like everything is done for TV ratings... but uhh yeah sure it's the best I guess huh sure...
Eagles fan here. As of this writing (12.31.18), this marks the 30 yr Anniversary of the 'Fog' Bowl. Looking forward to playing the Bears next week...hoping for a good game and that the fog stays away.
@Sammy GG IKR...still can't believe it. St. Nick comes thru again. GO BIRDS!!!!!!
I am getting this recommendation now, a week before wild card weekend. I wonder why???? Totally has nothing to do with the fact that these 2 are squaring off in Chicago on sunday
It's the 30th anniversary of the game.
I got the same recommendation
We are all the same here brother
Prolly cuz you’ve been clicking on videos that talk about eagles and bears. It’s science
🦅
I like how they could have had literally any basic scientist explain how fog works but they were extra and decided to get Bill Nye lmao
Hampton and Singletary look like they can still play.
Remember watching this game on tv as a kid.
Solider field looks as smoky as the Cheech & Chong mobile 😂
12-31-18 watching this because here we go again Bears vs Eagles
The 'Double Doink' bowl!! Nagy brought in like 10 kickers for camp the next year. Lol.
I remember having the game on,and not being able to see a thing,30 years ago today [01/01/19]
I was lucky enough to be at this game, the fog rolled in and in minutes day turned into grey night! had pretty good seats and still could barely any players thru the fog....so weird but was so exciting!!
BEAR DOWN!!!!
Rigged...they hated on randall...they pushed that fog in...😁
6:08 *I T W A S S O T H I C C*
One good thing about watching that game live. The security guards couldn't see you drinking your crown Royal and Miller lights
I was there in 88, the last day of the yr as an 11 yr old with my late uncle. It was unseasonably warm the next day. The only time I saw Cunningham live, Jerome Brown, Reggie White, RiH to the latter's. We won though...
some say it was the legend27
I bet he kicked there anises making whoever lost to lose
ManavKilla lol
ManavKilla some say he did a run play instead of a pass in super bowl 49
MLG Goose 😂😂😂
Omg I love amazing references
I can't wait for this episode to air in its entirety on The Timeline!
Haha I just realized that they did the whole interview with smoke/ fog behind..😁😁
Bill Nye the science guy
GZSW Sports54 BILL BILL BILL BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY
GZSW Sports54 eyyy my nigga bill nye
Shame we need a science guy to explain fog to the superstitious.
WTF are you talking about? Everyone knows it was fog that formed off Lake Michigan when it happened. Years before Bill Nye was on television.
thegorn68 yeah. Some idiot must of wrote that comment.
I was at this game. I sat near the goal line on the south end, so I got a good view of the fog when it first rolled in. It came over the south end like a tidal wave. It looked like white smoke more than fog, and after about 30 minutes, we couldn't see anything more than about 50 feet ahead of us. It was surreal. At that point the only way that we knew what was happening in the game was by word of mouth.
This video vividly captures the surreal and eerie atmosphere as a dense fog engulfed the field, turning a playoff game into an unforgettable spectacle of nature's unpredictability.
Randall Cunningham should've just ran the ball over and over, I mean the guy was elusive anyways and if defenders were having a hard time trying to find him in the fog,much less tackle him.Then they should've abandon trying to pass at all!
Shows he wasn't very smart.
@@Nautilus1972 Trying to run blind with the 80's bears defense out there would not be smart
Typical black quarterbacks
@@Nautilus1972 Well. well, well. What do we have here? Another cowardly, ignorant racist troll.
@@geebee6010 Well. well, well. What do we have here? ANOTHER cowardly, ignorant racist troll.
I will never forget watching this on tv with my Father
Well done, I hope that whoever had the idea to get Bill Nye for this has gotten the raise they deserved.
Ready for the fog bowl 2
Damn you Cody parkey
Won't ever happen again that was once in million
I was only 7 when this game happened but I do remember saying "they must be having fun out there" because I grew up in a area that had a LOT of winter time fog and recess was always fun in the fog
I don't think any of us who were alive to watch this game will ever see anything like that again but mother nature is unpredictable so never say never. Bill Nye is one of my favorite people.
This playoff game was played on my birthday back in the late 80s and watching it on Christmas holiday break at my late grandparents house in Columbus Georgia on their CBS station WRBL tv 3
Ditka still had the sunglasses on during the entire Fog 🤣
BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL!!!
I was six years old and I still have vague memories of this game on TV. I've never seen anything like it to this day.
Gosh I love playing in the fog it's so awesome my last game was in the fog and it was muddy
Bill Nye played Strong Safety XD LMAO
DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BEARS!!!
Love the challenge of these kinds of games. We need more crazy games like this.
bruh we can't control mother nature
These NFL Films are awesome.
Love to watch the guys play outside in the snow and the rain instead of being inside a heated stadium !!
I was watching this game at my buddy's house when this happened. We were around 10 years old. I'll never forget it.
NFL post this in its entirety!!
5:29: "It was like they were piping in crowd noise."
Little did he know...
I just got this 😂
How cool old Soldier Field looked with those Roman looking Pillars overlooking the field. DAMNIT they should have kept this same design.
There is no way anyone is playing football in this, you can barely see anyone, they are going to be running at no one in this fog. Its really cool that they can see the fog roll in though, I have seen fog before but nothing this intense, fog like this is something I feel like many people dont see often.
I like how they always go to Bill Nye like he is an actual scientist 😂
ikr. The dude's a mechanical engineer... also, he probably hasn't done anything engineering-related in decades. The dude is further removed from science than I am. Sad!
lol, Bill Nye the Mechanical Engineer
This is my favorite game ever. Hilarious challenges for coaches, referees, fans, CBS, players. LOl
This is one of the best episodes bringing in the scientist was genius.
"Scientist" Pssshhhh
I remember watching this game as a kid...it was pretty cool, never seen anything like it, then or now...
Im not really an NFL fan but I love the news and I can't believe I missed this.
I never knew about this. Great story and so crazy that it is real.
This was on the cover of NFL Films “NFL’s Greatest Hits”
A massive history lesson for a young lad like myself, prior to youtube and the internet at your fingertips. Used to watch it over and over again. Basically studying it.
Its like NASCAR in Pocono 2016 when Chris Buescher won
1:11The announcer does “The Twilight Zone” theme 🤣
When Bill Nye was not a shill, he was on point.
To those who regularly watch pro football on TV, I'm sure this was a once in a lifetime kind of thing.
I so remember this game. Drinking with my buddies having a good time
Yeah right, you guys understood what Bill Nye was saying lol!!!!
starks749 Umm it was not hard to understand at all.
I was at the Cincinnati vs Seattle playoff game while this was goin
I remember watching this game at Charlie Teague's Sporting Goods on a 5" black and white portable which made the experience more surreal.
Bill explained that poorely.
This would be wild if it happened nowadays, though I don't know if we'll ever see something like this in the modern NFL
seems like a once in a lifetime moment
I respect the "we'll play in any conditions" mentality, but the officials should have postponed this game until the fog thinned out. The fans, who paid good money for those tickets, deserved a game they could actually see.
C Mahoney whats your frustration?
It's football not baseball were they postpone a game due to rainy conditions
If it were a night game and the lights went out would they still play? I think the game should have been stopped, sad :-(
It wasn’t safe to keep playing. The refs screwed up.
Nah, that would've stolen an all time iconic NFL game for us. I think most NFL fans are happy and thankful for the existence of this game.
I love when it gets foggy in the field, not long ago in practice it was goofy as hell but it wasn’t as cold as other days
They should have pulled a prank where everyone on the field disappears when the fog clears.
I think everyone in this video is baked in addition maybe secretly everyone was passing blunts that day in the stadium.
BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!
“Sanders goes right, aaand disappears in the haze” lmaooo
I remember this game I thought my TV antenna was messing up lol smackn my TV the whole time
bill bill bill bill bill bill nye the science guy
It was eerie just as a television spectator!!!
I watched this game in disbelief. As soon as the game was over...and the Bears won...the Fog lifted. 🤔
Strangest sporting event I have ever seen - I was 12 when this was played and it still is. Also odd is that it was 50 degrees in Chicago in January that day. The next week when the Bears played the 49ers it was about 6 degrees.
Wearing sunglasses in fog that you can’t see past... go call coooch
Damnit Jim, I told him that was too many fog machines!
I need that instrumental at 1:51
Me to
Same
I was in Acapulco watching this gm ...
oh and bill nye the actor guy is here too!
So great they got Bill Nye
Owen Guest bill bill bill bill
Owen Guest bruh I thought ur thing was a hair on my phone
Same
@Jonathan Parks ikr? Guys a friggin quack
Definitely a legendary game
The fog rolled in 2019 and it was called Cody Parkey 😂😂
The current #ATLvsNE game (10/22/2017) reminded me of this.
The infamous Fog Bowl
I remember that day well!!
I remember watching this on tv at my neighbors house. God it was awesome
I could only imagine the atmosphere created by the fog. It’s like going to war at this point lol
Fog Bowl was AVENGED last night
.... 🦅
I remember watching this game New Years Eve 1988. The players couldn’t even see the ball most of the game.
Bill Nye was like , ‘ That’s science for that ass.’
