The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

40 years ago today, the Chicago Bears scored a Super Bowl record number of points to defeat the New England Patriots, 46-10, in the New Orleans Superdome, and win their first championship since 1963. It was the first Super Bowl (XX) I watched.

Think my Dad watched it, whilst I was toddling around.

I watched that if it was the game The Fridge played and I think scored a touchdown

He did, and still holds the record for the heaviest player to score a touchdown in a Super Bowl. He was a household name in the UK back then.

Big regret that Walter Payton didn't get a Touchdown in the Super Bowl. He'd been the sole presence on Offence during our dreadful years in the 70s, so felt he deserved to score. But instead The Fridge gets inul the endzone.
