description

As families across the globe gathered together to watch the Bears over chicken and turkey, Walter Payton found himself busy, challenging the Lions, of all teams, to a game of cat-and-mouse across the field. Built for the nationally-televised stage, and unwilling to allow his rushing attack to be the afternoon’s only unforgettable, Payton showcases his out-of-the-backfield receiving gifts, plucking a heavy-traffic downfield pass from the skies before turboing downfield for a 37-yard touchdown. In a must-win clash that eventually helped steer Chicago’s postseason hopes, the eventually-named NFL Most Valuable Player did Nov. 24, 1977’s heavy lifting through a 20-carry, 137-yard, one-touchdown box score, paired with a four-catch, 107-yard, one-touchdown complement during the 31-14 win over Detroit.
