This makes this story even more incredible if you consider that it hasn't happened again even in Chicago.

Was there as an 11 yr old child, memories, only time I was in a stadium with Brown, White and Cunningham vs our Bears. It was damnear spooky, But we won, Butler was a always a hero in Chicago, unsung tho

Packers and Cowboys played in the Ice Bowl, Bears and Eagles played in the Fog Bowl.

I love how even the commentary scenes were the individuals are talking to the cameraman is fog too

I just watched it all the way through here for the first time. When it was over I was, "42 minutes? NO WAY was that 42 minutes!!" My mind got blown.

I remember them taking about how the passing game had just disappeared for both teams. It was surreal and in those days games were just not stopped for weather.

Nobody will ever realize how good Randall Cunningham was in that game. He threw for over 400 yards, but nobody saw it. Do you know how hard it is to throw for 400 yd when it's clear and everybody can see? He threw for 400 yards and multiple touchdowns when he could barely see his receivers at all. There were some deep throws I guarantee he couldn't see anybody and was going off of timing.
