Bears vs. Vikings 9/18/85 - McMahon comes off the bench to throw a bomb for a TD, and on the next drive throws another bomb for a TD. This win really kickstarted the Bears 1985 season.

This is a game I will never forget, but the date is wrong - it was September 19, a Thursday Night. On the morning, a devastating earthquake hit my town, Mexico City, and many buildings fell and unfortunely there were many casualties as well. Back in those years all Sunday and Thursday Nights were carried by Televisa and it's cable network, Cablevisión. It turned out that Televisa was very damaged and all day the TV signal was very bad, but amazingly, the game was broadcasted (albeit with cuts and a very poor signal in black and white). The McMahon TD pass to Willie Gault is famous by a key block from Walter Payton to Vikings LB Dennis Johnson.
