I attended this game with my Brother and step dad. It was one of the coldest games I ever went to. We sat in the closed end of Wrigley, I can still see W.A's last hail mary pass gently landing in Richey Pedibones arms to seal the victory. This is still one of my greatest memories. I was lucky enough to attend every Bear home game in Wrigley from 1953 to 1963. This was the last Bear game I ever saw played in Wrigley, I left for boot camp one month later. I only returned to Chicago a few times over the next 50+ years, but I always will be a Bear Fan.

With Ditka becoming something of a character it’s good to be reminded of how good of a player he was.

I was actually at this game with my father... although my mother had no idea where we were. I was 3 years old in '63 and my mother asked my father to watch me for a bit while she went to her mother's home for the day. Well... mom didn't say where exactly he had to watch me so, good ole Pop chose Wrigley Field as a good and proper place to watch his son lol. GO 🐻 BEARS!

Bears probably had the best set of LB's in the league at that time:  Joe Fortunato, Bill George, and Larry Morris.

The Giants  in that era were like the Buffalo  Bills of the early 90,s. They lost 5 title games in 6 years.   2 to packers 2 to the colts and bears...

I was at one of those 1963 home games in Chicago with my dad.  I was born in 1958 in Chicago.

I watched this season on TV as a 12 year old kid

RIP Mike Ditka  #89

At 19:23 is the greatest play in Iron Mike Ditka's career (at least what I think is his greatest)  RIP Mike

Thank you for posting this. Ronnie Bull is my dads uncle and these games were before our time and we never got to watch them. Thank you so much.❤️

Ronnie Bull, star running back at Baylor 1959-61!

29:37 The Bears clinching a spot in the championship game on a pick 6 might be one of the most underrated moments in franchise history. No one ever talks about that! I can only imagine Wrigley was going crazy!

I played football for Angelo Coia, he was our coach, great guy!!!

I miss the dancing that you see today after every play - even when it isn't a very good play.  The players today know how to be good sportsmen by shoving it in their opponents face whenever they can.

Yes the 1985 Chicago Bears best team. The 1963 team wasn't far behind

Real nice quality, liked seeing Wrigley Field host football

Ahh, nostalgia-watched thus game as a 5 years old with my father

And who can forget the scene after the Bears had won...live TV cameras were in the Bear's dressing room and captured the immortal serenade to coach George Halas...'Hooray at last he's a horse's ass'...this is 1963, black and white TV and on air profanity was never heard until this unique moment...

I love this stuff.  Black and White film, goalposts on the goal line, single bar facemasks, Ditka bulldozing people, non electronic scoreboards.  Coach Halas on the sideline.  Salvaging a tie.  Ritchie Pettibone (from Tulane, I recall, I had his football card).  Oh yea, no dancing in the endzone.  Earl Morrall punting.

I watched this game on TV in 1963
