	Fog Bowl (NFL) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fog Bowl was the name given to the December 31, 1988 NFL playoff game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears.
		A heavy, dense fog rolled over Chicago's Soldier Field during the 2nd quarter, cutting visibility to about 15-20 yards for the rest of the game.
		The fog was so thick that both teams were forced to use their running game because receivers couldn't see the long passes thrown to them.

	Super Bowl XXIII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Critics of the salary cap note that the driving reason for the cap was to maximize the profitability of the NFL teams, and limit the power of NFL players to command the high salaries they are said to deserve in exchange for bringing in large numbers of paying fans to the stadiums.
		Although the NFL in 2004 is dominated at virtually every position by African-American athletes, that was not always the case.

	"Roughing The Passer"
		The NFL influences what is being done on the college level, which is most of the reason why we do not see the option offense in college anymore.
		The NFL is so quick to control what color of socks their players are wearing, I cannot believe they are allowing the Donald Sterling of the NFL to do this.
		NFL general managers are odd people and no one really knows their thoughts.

		But late in the second quarter a heavy fog slid off of Lake Michigan and over Soldier Field, cutting visibility to a minimum for the rest of the game.
		As the game progressed the Bears hung on for a 20-12 victory, but the dense fog turned the match into a power running game and scoring was limited to field goals.
		During the second half the visibility was down to 15 or 20 yards and TV and radio announcers had trouble knowing what was happening on the field.

		The Eagles have had the look of one of the NFL's top clubs thus far in 2004, defeating the Giants, Vikings, and Lions by double digits en route to their 3-0 start.
		Perhaps the teams' most memorable confrontation came in the infamous 1988 "Fog Bowl," an NFC Divisional Playoff in the Windy City that Chicago won, 20-12.
		The secondary was a concern for the Eagles entering the 2004 season, and though it is hardly cause for panic, the team does rank just 24th in the NFL against the pass (251.3 yards per game).

	Fog hangs thick over Seattle Bowl
		The Seattle Bowl is contracted to match the No. 4 team from the MWC against the No. 6 team from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
		That meant the Seattle Bowl, which pitted Oregon as a replacement team against Wake Forest on Dec. 30 at Seahawks Stadium, was required to refund the MWC's $250,000 participation fee by Feb. 1, per ASI's contract with the conference.
		The primary issue for Seattle Bowl recertification is producing evidence the game is able to generate sufficient revenue, which it has struggled to do under Daw's ownership despite decent attendance and respectable television ratings.

		The NFL's biggest surprise after compiling a 19-45 record over the previous four seasons, including an 11-21 mark in the last two under Jauron, the Bears endured a charmed campaign that saw them capture the NFC Central title for the first time since 1990.
		It is the longest streak since the Minnesota Vikings held their opponents under 24 points in 41 straight contests from 1968-71.
		In that contest, the Bears posted a 20-12 victory as fog rolled in off Lake Michigan just before halftime, obscuring most of the action for the fans in the stands and national television audience.

		And although the Rams are known for their "Greatest Show On Earth" offense of NFL MVP Warner, running back Marshall Faulk and wide receiver Isaac Bruce among others, the Packers can counter with their own powerhouse trio of Favre, running back Ahman Green and wideout Antonio Freeman.

		Chicago jumped to a 17-9 lead before a dense fog blew into the area, resulting in the "Fog Bowl", undoubtedly the worst visual conditions ever in an NFL playoff game.
		The moral of the 1988 Bears season is that a team picked by many to miss the playoffs, that lost 4 key starters from the 1985 Super Bowl team, still finished with the best record in the NFC.

		Much like NFL Films' other "Best Of" offerings, Era of Excellence features the usual near-poetic essays on the sport as spoken by one of their notable "big-voice" narrators (Jeff Kaye in this instance), as well as some of the catchiest soundtrack scores I've ever laid my ears to.
		Starting things off were notable bad-weather games such as Denver's hard-fought Monday Night victory against the Packers in the snow, the infamous `snow plow' game that put the Patriots on the board (and gave them the win), and the `fog bowl' divisional playoff between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears.
		Starting things off are the Oakland/L.A. Raiders' best 80s moments, followed by the Washington Redskins, the 1985 Chicago Bears with their fearsome 46 defense, and the 1986 New York Giants with the amazing defensive efforts of LB Lawrence Taylor (and Harry Carson's trademark Gatorade shenanigans).
