    Blanda's death right before Bears-Packers - remind anyone of...
    ...when Walter Payton died right before a Bears-Packers game that week and the Bears won?

      November 7th, 1999 Chicago 14, Green Bay 13
      This was the first game that the Bears played following the death of long time Chicago running back Walter Payton.
      The win for the Bears came when defensive tackle Bryan Robinson blocked a last second field goal to preserve the win. The Bears hadn’t beaten the Packers since 1993.

        Blanda is more known as a Raider than a Bear

          Instead of a blocked field goal, the Bears win with their own field goal!

          The Bears are who we thought they were!

            George Blanda:

            335 Field Goals
            943 Extra Points
            9 Rushing Touchdowns
            236 Passing Touchdowns

            Almost impossible to fathom those numbers.

            As a young kid was fortunate enough to see Blanda kick many of those Field Goals and Extra Points for the Bears in Wrigley Field in the mid 50's.

            RIP George.
