Was certainly a different experience for watching the game, I have to give credit to the skycam crew in being able to keep up with the action even on good drives.
I love clips like 12:24, 2 guys competing against each other but also laughing together in the snow. Shows that even though this is competition at the highest level, it is still just a game.
#54 Brian Urlacher’s blocking on the play at 2:37 has to be one of the most impressive football plays I’ve ever seen! Had a least 3 solid blocks and outran the returner to get the TD securing block. Incredible
6:18 - 6:30 That punt just planting in the mud and not moving at all is funny no matter how many times I see it. I played a football game in heavy rain once in high school and it's fine until your underwear gets soaked. The Fog Bowl is all the proof you need that qbs don't necessarily throw to a guy, but to where a receiver is going to be. No other way you can explain Randall Cunningham throwing for 400+ yards when nobody could see more than a yard down field.
I was in marching band in high school and our home field was turned into a mudhole when a monsoon fell before and all game. We had these really nice, expensive uniforms; we splashed through the pregame and halftime shows and looked like we'd been playing the game after that. They sent us home, and there was one hell of a cleaning bill. Our guys won, though.
Watching games like these are why I love stadiums that are outdoors. The rain, the snow, the wind and the fog makes for some sloppy but fun football to watch lol! I also love that Solider Field [both versions] and The Ralph are home to soooo many of these lol
That's why I hope, for as long as I live, there will never be an indoor stadium in Pittsburgh. Or anywhere in the north lol. Well, of course, with the exception of the Vikings who have been indoors my whole life. Too bad there will probably never be another outdoor Super Bowl in a cold weather city
You really got to appreciate games like this. As more and more teams build indoor stadiums amazing moments like these disappear. It was such a wise decision for the Bills new stadium to be an outdoor stadium
It took me about 5 seconds to recognize the great voice of the New York Rangers, Sam Rosen. I never knew he did any NFL games till I found out he covered preseason Bears games for a while! It’s always a joy to hear someone with so much positive energy and love for sports calling games. Keep it up as long as you can Mr. Rosen!
Love games like this especially nowadays, the game has become so pass heavy mother nature forcing a team back to basics ground and pound is always a treat.
basically only lightning, and that merely pauses a game, once its outside a certain miles radius of the stadium its game on again. Unsure if there has ever been a game delay for a tornado warning
I live in North Pole, Alaska so I really appreciate a good snow game. I played in 1 official game in 2 feet of snow for my pop Warner championship and it was the greatest. I also practiced for 2 weeks in 3 feet of snow during our state championship run in high school but never got a high school snow game as the field was plowed and never snowed during the game. That Pittsburgh-Miami monsoon game looks like a blast, I’ve never been in warm rain except in Florida so I assume the water was warm.
Bruh. Athletes were built different in the 70's and 80's Playing in the middle of a thunderstorm, in 30mph winds, while the field is literally flooding. That's metal as hell.
I was actually at that Cheifs VS Seahawks Game... I think I was about 7 or 8 years old. The images of water pouring down the stairs was 100% accurate, It looked like we were at Nigara Falls. We ended up getting stuck at the staidum becuase the way out flooded. That was probably the coldest and wetest I had ever been in my young life up to that point. Crazy to see that on here so many years later and remember being there.
I remember that game. We ended up leaving via gate 2 instead of gate 4 or the East circle exit. We always used gate 4 because there was a lot less traffic at that gate since most of the people going to Arrowhead didn't know gate 4 is even there. We would come in gate 4, pay for parking, then make a U turn on to the access road (east circle) for lot L and park on the grass between the access road and lot L. It was obviously a long walk across the overpass and through the tunnel, then across lot C to get to the stadium, but well worth it on most nights because you could get out VERY quickly because you would walk back out there while the cars were mostly at a standstill. You could then turn left onto lot L and exit back out Gate 4 to Raytown road, or go around East circle until it dumped you off on Blue Ridge Cutoff (right turn only). I'm pretty sure both gates 4 and 5 were under water after the game because they wouldn't let us go that way. Raytown road is at the bottom of the hills that lead to it, and even though the south side sits lower than the road there, it's entirely possible that creek flooded badly enough to flood the road. Brush creek sure did along the plaza that night,
The Bears vs. 49ers game turns out to be my favorite windiest game of all time because of Gould’s miss kick sailing way wide right and Nathan Vasher’s missed field goal return for a touchdown made an impact in the windy city of Chicago.
Growing up on the east coast we used to play sports in the streets and a field if available and loved to play football in the snow and basketball rain snow it didn't matter, and now it's sad to see the basketball courts empty and the criminal courts packed, thank you
The only NFL weather moment that matters is the superbowl XLI (2007) It never rained during a superbowl ever before, not a drop. That morning the half time headliner woke up with a call from his producer saying him that with 4 electric guitars and dancers on high heels with the upcoming storm it could get tricky.The artist reply: "Can you make it rain harder?" The artist was Prince, his purple rain performance is considered the best half time ever. It is as if the weather gods themselves come down to make it just perfect.
To add Bob Uecker’s voice to that Bears 49ers game on that first field goal “Just a bit outside!!” LOL I’m surprised the wind didn’t knock Vasher down!!! 😂
As a loyal Bears fan I forgot about that play by the punt returner/kick returner back in ‘05. We’re 3-12 this year but seeing that play made me smile. I was happy Chicago got highlighted in this on 3 different weather situations. The Midwest and Northeast in general are tough to play in during the winter.
Never forget that even with all the "bad weather games" in Buffalo... it still snowed so hard that they had to relocate the Browns/Bills game to an indoor stadium in Detroit 😂
They could have shown clips of the two games Buffalo played in Detroit due to massive snowfalls in Orchard Park. That's Mother Nature taking over. Side note, I live in north Buffalo. While the stadium was buried under over 7 feet of snow; I had 6 to 12 inches of snow each time.
I remember the Lake Arrowhead game like it was only yesterday! Our seats were under the overhang down on the field level, so we rarely ever got wet watching a game. It rained SO hard that we still got wet because of the mist in the air. The water was so deep at the sidelines that a fumble pile could have resulted in a drowning. Flash flooding around Kansas City that night was horrific. There were a few deaths in the Plaza are because a wall of water came down Brush creek and took out bridges with cars sitting them waiting for traffic lights to change. Some of the bridges east of the Plaza along Brush creek were washed out completely and were never replaced. That was some of the heaviest rain I've ever experienced, on par with tropical storm/Hurricane rainfall rates.
This brought up nostalgia for my lacrosse career! We had a tournament, it was on a rugged dirt slope with about 4 tufts of crabgrass, and there was so much snow and rain. That day was so bad the snow stuck everywhere, and we had to fully play despite not being able to see maybe three average arms' length aeay from you. So we won that game, went to a pizza place, and ended up staying there for a few hours before heading home, all caked in mud and our fingers all stinging super bad. Welcome to Colorado.
Needed a bonus clip from a CFL game years ago where a 30-something-yard field goal attempt into storm-force winds was knocked down inches from the front of the goalposts
In the early 70s i was living in New Orleans (as i am again now) and going to LSUNO. A college friend and I had season tickets to the Saints games. The cost was $90 for the entire season. The games were played at Tulane Stadium and one game was played in torrential rains. We stuck it out, though. The great Archie Manning was quarterback. Those were the days.
I remember that 1998 - Week 5 game in Kansas City Chiefs game. It was crazy! And being a KCMO native. It was a very wild game. It was just pouring rain and basically seemed like half the city was underwater. I personally, live on a hill. So all that rain didn't bother me too much. A few years later. Same thing happened when the Steelers were in town. And it POURED once again. Though, that game kept on playing. Welcome to Kansas City Arrowhead Stadium! You either get to deal with The Loudest Fans in the League or need your swimsuit to play in this stadium.
This amazing football video definitely made my Christmas Day!! 🌲 🏈 Thanks a Million!! 😉 I remember Nathan Vasher of the Chicago Bears running back the Niners’ failed FG attempt for a touchdown. The doggone goalposts were swaying back and forth at Soldier Field that windy day...!!! 😂
I’m at nearly 11 minutes in, and I’m like what about the Cowboys Dolphins 93 Thanksgiving game in the snow and the Packers game where they were celebrating their win by having a snowball fight with the fans??? This is hilarious! It’s like watching those good old fashioned Football Funnies vhs tapes!! LOL
In one clip from the Colts-Bills game, #14 for the Bills was on the punt team. That was Joe Webb. In the third quarter, Webb took over at QB after starter Nathan Peterman (yeah, him) was taken out of the game with a concussion. Peterman was starting due to an injury to regular starter Tyrod Taylor.
@@tygrkhat4087 In 2010, Joe Webb QB'd for the Vikings when they played the Eagles in a December 28 contest at Philly's Lincoln Financial Field. The game was scheduled for NBC Sunday Night Football (Al, Cris, Andrea Kremer), but a snowstorm caused the game to be moved to Tuesday. The Vikes won, 24-14, as Webb, starting in place of an injured Brett Favre, went 17 of 26 for 195 yards, and scored on a 9-yard run. (Also in 2010, the Vikings played "home" games at Ford Field and TCF Bank Stadium in Weeks 14 and 15 as the roof at Mall of America field collapsed due to snow.)
I've always respected the football philosophy of never calling games due to weather. The Purple People Eaters practiced playing with their hands numb from the cold as a home field advantage. But, if there's more than three clouds in the sky MLB has a decision to make. Obviously, they are two different sports, but they have radically different approaches to weather, ("Spahn and Sain and Pray for Rain" comes to mind).
I remember watching that wind game in Chicago live. We all just started laughing our asses off when the field goals just took a 90 deg turn. I also remember watching the fog bowl live. We couldn't see anything so we just went outside and played football ourselves.
I was at that Bills/Browns game. It was miserable cold. 😂 We sat in one endzone and could only see to the near 30 yard line. Anything that happened beyond that was a mystery to us. We were relying on crowd noise from the unseen side and just reacting based on that.
I remember that college all star game being played in a monsoon with the thunder and lightning things sure have changed now that game would never have happened but back then the fans just decided to get in on the fun and charge the field. We were crazy in the 70's. 🤣
During that fog game: "Sanders goes right... And disappears in a haze." That is elite tier play-by-play lol
Verne Lundquist. He was one of the best. He's retired now.
can you imagine listening to this game on the radio?
2018 or 2019 I think it was a game in New England with so much fog the only camera that could see anything was the "Sky Cam", the whole game basically looked like a run of Madden. Was certainly a different experience for watching the game, I have to give credit to the skycam crew in being able to keep up with the action even on good drives.
@@filanfyretracker true, being an NFL cameraman has to be difficult even in the best of conditions. I damn sure couldn't do it lol
Gives a whole new meaning to the expression three yards and a cloud of dust.
"Oilers and water do not mix." Great line.
Hahahha oilers and water dont mix
Man the oilers uniforms were awesome
Iconic unis, man!@@Ogga137
I love clips like 12:24, 2 guys competing against each other but also laughing together in the snow. Shows that even though this is competition at the highest level, it is still just a game.
I think they *both* lost track of where they were and thought they were still in the end zone.
Oh, agree completely. The smile on their faces - they're just two big kids having fun in the snow. Truly touching.
guys who got fun in a game usually are top tier players ngl
Honestly, as I really should be
Respect to all the cameramen still being able to find the ball in these conditions.
Why don't we have a contingency plan for snowstorms? Even a team of guys with snow shovels would make the field playable.
Bruh. Fr. Especially the ones in those wobbly cranes sitting 20 feet in the air while the wind wobbles their seat☠️☠️.
Truth
This is why Sports Cameramen get paid the big bucks. It is insane how they can keep up with tiny objects moving fast.
@@marktwain368 Because apparently, it was a smart idea to make football season in fall and winter

OOF! 😂
6:18 - 6:30 That punt just planting in the mud and not moving at all is funny no matter how many times I see it.
I played a football game in heavy rain once in high school and it's fine until your underwear gets soaked.
The Fog Bowl is all the proof you need that qbs don't necessarily throw to a guy, but to where a receiver is going to be. No other way you can explain Randall Cunningham throwing for 400+ yards when nobody could see more than a yard down field.
The 6:18 moment…that was a true weather classic, even if the game ended 3-0 thanks to a Jeff Reed FG with 17 seconds left.
I was more impressed with the players stopping on a dime like that lol
I was in marching band in high school and our home field was turned into a mudhole when a monsoon fell before and all game.

We played ball in the mud...they used fish fertiliser 🤭
Nothing better than soggy underwear and what looks like shit stains.
The guys trying to call the fog bowl were pretty funny.
“It’s intercepted… I CANT SEE! I cannot see! I only know it’s intercepted because of the crowd.”
Good stuff.
Calling a timeout to get the whole team to shovel snow for a PAT is the most football thing
Watching games like these are why I love stadiums that are outdoors. The rain, the snow, the wind and the fog makes for some sloppy but fun football to watch lol! I also love that Solider Field [both versions] and The Ralph are home to soooo many of these lol

anybody whos played in this type of weather in high school/college knows this is the most fun you will ever have playing football
Or the least, because you slip and wind up needing ACL surgery.
9:10 "Rookie Johnnie Durden fumbled though he had not been hit" dont know why that line is hilarious to me, especially in that 1950s doctor voice.
6:33 That's actually crazy how quickly that Dolphins player recognized that the ball stuck in the ground and stopped on a dime.
guy really just slammed on the breaks
You really got to appreciate games like this. As more and more teams build indoor stadiums amazing moments like these disappear. It was such a wise decision for the Bills new stadium to be an outdoor stadium
It wouldn't be the Buffalo Bills without the weather being part of the game
Love how accurate both of these comments are with the upcoming playoff match.
9:16 "Oiler and water don't mix."
Best line of the entire video!
As a 66 yr old football fan, horrible wrather games have been my faves. This post has to be in my top 2 or 3 just for that reason. Great post.
I absolutely did not want this video to end. So fun!
That 108 yard mad dash by Vasher was insane, forgot all about it for years!
6:33 I love how the players are in so much shock that they circled the ball and just stared at it.
I was at the Bills at Browns Snow Game in 2007. That game was an absolute "Blast" to be at from beginning to end.
It took me about 5 seconds to recognize the great voice of the New York Rangers, Sam Rosen. I never knew he did any NFL games till I found out he covered preseason Bears games for a while!

GOD i miss those mud and snow games. They were just a sloppy, messy, bunch of fun to watch.
Love games like this especially nowadays, the game has become so pass heavy mother nature forcing a team back to basics ground and pound is always a treat.
This is really what made football even more exciting. Now all the indoor stadiums not so much
At 1:00 the announcer actually says "the future is so bright for the Detroit Lions"
His future as in Megatron
at least now they have a bright future
If you put all of these games out as entire games I would watch them all.

Best damn all-weather sport ever played, especially when it snows hard enough that they have to shovel the yard lines out between every play.
It’s probably more fun to watch and play in these weather games.

The game was scheduled for NBC Sunday Night Football (Al, Cris, Andrea Kremer), but a snowstorm caused the game to be moved to Tuesday. The Vikes won, 24-14, as Webb, starting in place of an injured Brett Favre, went 17 of 26 for 195 yards, and scored on a 9-yard run. (Also in 2010, the Vikings played "home" games at Ford Field and TCF Bank Stadium in Weeks 14 and 15 as the roof at Mall of America field collapsed due to snow.)
@@bobscott2429 remember the same to that Joe Webb game on the radio going to youth group.
Great footage! Thanks for sharing!
I've always respected the football philosophy of never calling games due to weather. The Purple People Eaters practiced playing with their hands numb from the cold as a home field advantage. But, if there's more than three clouds in the sky MLB has a decision to make. Obviously, they are two different sports, but they have radically different approaches to weather, ("Spahn and Sain and Pray for Rain" comes to mind).
I remember watching that wind game in Chicago live. We all just started laughing our asses off when the field goals just took a 90 deg turn. I also remember watching the fog bowl live. We couldn't see anything so we just went outside and played football ourselves.
5:57 from the infamous tuck rule game
The bears FG that sliced right had me cracking up with the kicker almost falling over beforehand haha no false start?
I was at that Bills/Browns game. It was miserable cold. 😂 We sat in one endzone and could only see to the near 30 yard line. Anything that happened beyond that was a mystery to us. We were relying on crowd noise from the unseen side and just reacting based on that.
1:17 This would prove to be the last College All-Star Game, which was becoming an anachronism anyway and was cancelled.
Aren’t you cool for that big word
@@isean6753 I wish they could bring the game back in some form. (Maybe the College All-Stars could play the UFL champions?)
I remember that college all star game being played in a monsoon with the thunder and lightning things sure have changed now that game would never have happened but back then the fans just decided to get in on the fun and charge the field. We were crazy in the 70's. 🤣
Honestly it looks so fun in the snow playing football, I hope this happens to me 😂
4:14
"He's going to aim for the far right upright"
As opposed to aiming for the near right upright.
😆
this is why im against every team having a dome...weather has, and will always be a part of the game
I would still LOVE to see a full version of the last College All Stars game! 😀👍
