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 leads 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.
