Mother Nature Takeover Moments!

During that fog game: "Sanders goes right... And disappears in a haze." That is elite tier play-by-play lol

The "Runs for 12 yards and hydroplanes for 12 more" always makes me laugh.

"Oilers and water do not mix." Great line.

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.

7:30 Just casually shoving the ref in to a puddle while celebrating! 😂😂😂

Respect to all the cameramen still being able to find the ball in these conditions.

2:12 the fact that they even attempted to kick a FG seeing the kicker can barely stand 😂😂😂😂😂

1:11 The snow had the ref doing the SPLITS. 💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The way #83 stopped on a dime at 6:33 was insane. That body angle was mad

The guy humming the twilight zone theme during the fog bowl 😂

Commentator from 2013: "The future for the Detroit Lions is so bright"
Narrator: "It was not bright"

#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

The guys trying to call the fog bowl were pretty funny.

Calling a timeout to get the whole team to shovel snow for a PAT is the most football thing

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.

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.

anybody whos played in this type of weather in high school/college knows this is the most fun you will ever have playing football

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 108 yard mad dash by Vasher was insane, forgot all about it for years!

6:33 That's actually crazy how quickly that Dolphins player recognized that the ball stuck in the ground and stopped on a dime.

9:16 "Oiler and water don't mix."
Best line of the entire video!

Love the snow games but the misty games really made me laugh hahahahaha "Sanders goes right, and disappears in the haze". Imagine getting a ticket to that game though. Spent money to see absolutely nothing 😂

Cheers to everyone who remembers the struggle & joy of playing football as kids in snow. 🏈 ❄️ ⛄️

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

6:33 I love how the players are in so much shock that they circled the ball and just stared at it.

Watch Urlacher on that return. Man is a machine!
#54

At 1:00 the announcer actually says "the future is so bright for the Detroit Lions"

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.

Calvin Johnson really face planted and had a facemask full of snow!

I absolutely did not want this video to end. So fun!

That Colts-Bills game was one of my favorite games I've ever watched. My Colts lost but it was just too much fun.

We shouldn't have indoor stadiums. All these games are iconic

I wish every football game was this exciting

I was at the Bills at Browns Snow Game in 2007. That game was an absolute "Blast" to be at from beginning to end.

The dude in the stands filling his cup with water and pouring it over the edge was so funny to me xD

Imagine getting 5-7 extra yards because you water-slid after a run or catch. That's wild!

This is really what made football even more exciting. Now all the indoor stadiums not so much

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.

I love you folks in the US. FOOTBALL! Rain, hail and snow. Nothing will stop this game 😂😂

That Vasher run was sick AF!

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.

I LOVE weather and football!

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.

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.

At 6:33 I'm more impressed at #83 stopping so quickly next to the ball that I am of the ball sticking into the ground lol

It’s probably more fun to watch and play in these weather games.

If you put all of these games out as entire games I would watch them all.

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!

The snow of Buffalo and cold of Green Bay both set up well this week

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 😂

I always love Bob Trumpy's line with the '93 Thanksgiving game-"it's Leon Lett! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Why do I get the feeling that the game is extremely fun to watch when the weather is a huge key element?

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.

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).

That basher play is amazing :) and 8:49 made me laugh the way that guy just slides.. pretty insane how much the snow slows them down around 10:20

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!!! 😂

Thank god there are some open-stadium real grass fields left. Wouldn't be football without them.

This is probably the best compilation ever.

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.

This is what I love about football.

That kick return from Vasher was ridiculous

The snow coming down-some of the best games I ever went to. Where I'm from, that's REAL football.

Really enjoyed this video.
Seeing all that snow makes me appreciate spring even more. Haha.

Lmaoooooooo bro these kicks Vs the winds got me weak asf 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you to the people holding the cameras

Playing football in the rain is the best and it was the most fun I ever had when I played

The snowman at the end hahahahaha someone spent time during the game building a snowman instead of watching the game. Legenddd

We build domes for comfort... but at what cost? There is nothing better than watching two teams struggle against heavy snow, wind, fog or rain

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

6:24 I love how everyone is so amazed by it that no one dares to touch it.

Honestly it looks so fun in the snow playing football, I hope this happens to me 😂

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.

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.

12:38 all I'm gonna say is "What The FOG is Going ON!"

There was a Monday night game between the Packers and Bears, sometime in the '90s, in high winds and pouring rain. I remember the punts went straight up and straight back down.

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.

I’m glad you included the Leon Lett gaffe in the video!

That's crazy, I live in Europe and we don't really have "football" here, soccer games get postponed when the field gets too wet due to rain and football games continue even in the thickest snow! I had to actually Google it to believe it. That's so cool

The snowman at the end was my favorite part 😂

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 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.

I would still LOVE to see a full version of the last College All Stars game! 😀👍

I LOVE games like these- THIS is what sets football apart from other sports- we NEED to keep this potential,.

Rain has to be the most fun football i have ever played

1:12 not only was he sliding… but doing a spilt 😂

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. 🤣

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...!!! 😂

You know if it's just snowing, they are having a butt load of fun

I’m not a Lions or Eagles fan, but their 2013 snow game still ranks as one of my favorite games.

Great footage! Thanks for sharing!

Great vid! Need to add: monsoon game in 1979 between bucs/chiefs; 1977 Mud Bowl playoff game

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.

"ran for 12 yards and slid for 12 more" lol

6:16, I also saw this game. They mentioned at the beginning of the broadcast that the grounds crew had just laid down new sod the day before, and then a massive rain storm hit before and during the game. That resulted in squishy turf you see there

6:17 is my favourite clip. LOL. Thanks for this video!!

I'm always on the lookout for these type of games late in the year so I can take the under and win some easy money.

That Colts vs. Bills game still makes me shiver. I have family who lives just outside Buffalo, and yeah. It was bad. Not just on camera.

1:17 This would prove to be the last College All-Star Game, which was becoming an anachronism anyway and was cancelled.

Even a violent tackle looks cozy in the snow.

Proving Oil(ers) & water don't mix!😂 Priceless!
