[QUOTE="Jaws, post: 2744530, member: 4192"] I was a kid around 10 when I watched a Packer game vs. da Bears. It went into OT. Packers were going for a field goal for the win. Sept. 7, 1980: Packers 12, Chi. Bears 6 ''Chester Marcol catches his own blocked kick (by Alan Page) and runs 25 yards for game winning touchdown six minutes into overtime...Only overtime contest in Packers-Bears series, NFL's longest rivalry.'' ''It was one of the few bright spots in a 5-10-1 season. On opening day, the Packers held Walter Payton to 65 yards and took the Bears into overtime tied 6-6. In OT, Chester Marcol's game-winning field goal try was blocked by Alan Page, but the ball bounced right back to Marcol and he ran it in 25 yards for a touchdown and what coach Bart Starr would call "the most dramatic win I've ever been part of." One footnote: The Bears beat the Packers later that season, 61-7.'' I've been a Packer fan ever since. If the Packers still beat the Bears both times this year, it means a perfect season to me. Peace and smiles :) j. [/QUOTE]
