Somebody uploaded the whole game. This was one of my favorite games to watch on VHS growing up as a kid. I was born that same year so I always thought the 85 run was super cool. Thought it was funny that the fans Booed Dewalt on the early fumble. He was lights out after that.

Thanks for this. It was a real nail biter in 1985. The BC Winnipeg rivalry was electric in the mid eighties. I wish I could find a complete upload of the 1985 GC.

Thanks for posting that. I was there, I remember it was a mob scene on the field after the game. Those games against Winnipeg in the 80's were intense. It was a great rivalry and a great time to be a Lions fan.
Also cool that someone who was just an infant at the time would look back at games from that era.

Growing up as a kid in the 90s was a tough time to be a Lions fan. I loved watching these games because I remember thinking how cool the orange jerseys looked compared to the Raiders look. Seeing a the stadium packed which pretty much never happened in the 90s except for the 94 Grey Cup was super cool as well. The other thing that stuck in my memory was how tight Dewalt's spirals were.

No waggle back in those days and QB lines up under centre most of the time. The game looked way different.
