| Walter Payton helped lead the Bears to an overtime win over the Giants in the 1977 season finale.** |
Playing in a sleet storm on an icy field, Bob Thomas booted a 28-yard field goal with :07 left in overtime to give the Bears a pulsating 12-9 win. It was their sixth straight victory after a 3-5 start.
In the horrendous conditions at the Meadowlands, Thomas had missed one field goal attempt earlier in overtime and didn't get a chance to try another one due to a botched snap.
This hour-long installment of Bears Classics, subtitled One Giant Leap, takes an in-depth look at this moment in Bears history featuring candid interviews with players and coaches from both teams, along with those who covered this historic game 38 years ago.
This edition of CSN's Emmy-winning Bears Classics documentary series will once again be narrated by legendary Bears Hall of Fame middle linebacker Dick Butkus.
