    FIRST NFL PLAYOFF GAME ON THIS DAY

    Super Bowl Sunday Special: The Birth of the NFL Championship

    On December 18, 1932, the Chicago Bears defeated the
    Portsmouth (Ohio) Spartans, 9-0, in the NFL’s first playoff
    game—and first game played indoors. The victory gave the
    Bears the championship and lead to a playoff system for
    the first time.

    Because of frigid weather and waist-deep snow, the game
    was moved from Wrigley Field to Chicago Stadium, home
    of the city’s NHL team.
