The 1943 NFL Championship Game was the 11th annual title game of the National Football League (NFL). The game was held at Wrigley Field in Chicago on December 26, 1943, and drew attendance of 34,320. The contest featured the Western Division champion Chicago Bears (who compiled an 8–1–1 regular season record) against the Eastern Division champion Washington Redskins (6–3–1). The previous week the Redskins had defeated the New York Giants by a score of 28–0 to determine the champs of the east after the teams ended the regular season with identical records. This playoff game pushed the championship back to it's latest ever date, and the late-December Chicago weather caused the game to be dubbed the "Ice Bowl".
