NFL Championship Game
The NFL Championship game was played at Philadelphia's Shibe Park on December 19, 1948 during a blizzard. Thinking the game wouldn't be played in the blizzard, Van Buren remained home until Eagles coach Earle "Greasy" Neale called him and told him the game was still on. He had to catch 3 trolleys and walk 12 blocks in order to make the game on time.
The attendance for the game was 36,309 and both teams played a scoreless game until early in the fourth quarter. The Eagles recovered a fumble that set up Steve Van Buren's five yard touchdown at 1:05 into the fourth quarter. This game turned out be the Cardinals' last appearance in any NFL Championsship game in the 20th Century.
