Bear/Packer game, Bears have to punt from deep in their own territory. Lombardi talks to the special teams, tells the punt receiver to call for a fair catch, which he does. Then Lombardi informs the referees that they (the Packers) were going to take a free kick. Halas did not know what was going on, nor did the referees. Turns out that according to the rules, if you fair catch a punt, you can attempt a field goal, and the other team can't even rush the kicker. Packer kicker made the field goal as time expired. Packers Win!Two years later Halas pulled the same trick and the Bears won.</blockquote>
