The Mike Brown interceptions.
I was at the 49ers game as a kid!
I explicitly remember they played Diddy’s Bad Boys For Life in the stadium right before it happened
The browns game?? That was the game that cemented me as a bears fan, even though my whole family backed the pack. That 2001 team was an all timer
Yeah that's the same for me. We had friends in from out of town who were all Bears fans. Our parents went to the game together and the oldest daughter babysit us.
I don't think I really ever watched a Bears game up to that point since the 90s Bears were anemic and 2001 was the first year they were actually good. Also we had the dominant Bulls to watch and I was only 9 in 2001 so don't remember a whole lot before that.
But they were all laughing at us because the Browns were killing us. Then we won it in like 2 minutes of game time to end it. One of the kids was an asshole and gave me an atomic wedgie because my brother and I turned the tables and started ripping on them.
Good times. It's the reason I started to love the Bears and football.
Good call! I knew for me it was sometime during the 2001 season but couldn’t think of a specific.
I still tell people 2001 was the most FUN Bears season I ever remember. They had no business going 13-3. And possibly the most overachieving squad record-wise in league history.
They lost to Favre and the Packers twice. Lost to the defending Super Bowl Champs on openeing day. Then just stumbled through 13 wins with a killer defense and hot garbage on offense.
The offense wasn’t complete garbage but it wasn’t super good either lol
Not my first, but I remember playing football as a kid outside and checking the score of the game online and seeing 28-7 or something at half and being pissed. Then waking up the next day and turning ESPN on and being like OHH MY GODDD
I was at the Cleveland game, my first game I can remember
Same!
Not my first memory, but one of my most intense. I had tickets for both and after the Browns one, I was shaking so hard it took a while before I was ok to drive home (to Cincinnati at the time).
