Bears Classics: 'One Giant Leap'

In the latest episode of Bears Classics: "One Giant Leap," CSN takes a look back at the memorable 1977 game against the New York Giants at the Meadowlands that ended a 14-year postseason drought for the Bears.

A Bob Thomas 28-yard field goal with :09 seconds remaining in overtime gave the Bears a 12-9 victory and sent Chicago to the playoffs for the first time since winning the NFL Championship in 1963.
