- Time for another visit to playoff glories of the far-too-far-past... This we go back 1986 and venerable Soldier Field for the Redskins vs the Bears - the defending Super Bowl champion Bears!
The '86 Redskins were a terrific group of over achievers - finding way more success than a team undergoing this much transition should have. In '86, the Redskins were without long-time icons Joe Theismann and John Riggins for the first time. Jay Schroeder took the reigns as starter for his first full season, with Gary Clark just establishing himself as a premiere receiver and Kelvin Bryant entering the mix. Rather than slogging through a season of growing pains, the '86 Skins played over their collective heads, finishing 12-4 and returning Washington to the playoffs after a one-year hiatus.
These Redskins notched some memorable victories (in time, we'll enjoy many more of them), but none more impressive and unexpected than this - a playoff shocker over defending champs on the road in this frigid NFC Divisional Playoff Game.
How big an upset was this, you ask? These Bears followed up their 18-1 championship '85 season with a 14-2 finish in '86 and entered this game on a 7-game winning streak, riding a defense that allowed only 4 rushing TDs all year and had only twice over the entire season surrendered more than one TD to their opponent's offense. These Bears truly were the Monsters of the Midway, having won 32 of 35 games leading up to this fateful, frigid day.
Joe Gibbs' Redskins dethroned these Bears with opportunistic offense (4 turnovers led to 17 points, including a rarified rushing TD), and stifling defense (Chicago started both the first and second half with long kick returns into Redskins territory only to come away with nothing, and settled for a measly field goal after a Bears interception was returned to the Redskin 5-yard line in the second quarter).
A flustered Doug Flutie (subbing in for injured Jim McMahon) and fumble-prone Walter Peyton were no match for the Redskins D on this day, as Washington sent Chicago shuffling out of the post-season.
Series fun facts! This was Joe Gibbs' first win over the Bears since his very first coaching win in 1981, 24-7 over the Bears (also at Soldier Fiel. Starting with this game, Chicago and Washington would face off for 6 straight seasons, with Washington winning 5 of those high-stakes contests. (Gibbs finished 9-3 against Chicago over his entire coaching career). From that '81 victory onward, Washington has owned the Bears with a 17-6 overall record (including a surprising 10-2 record at Soldier Field over that period).
Chicago truly is their kind of town.

To this day this win is still one of my personal top Redskins wins.
After the 84 playoff upset.
After the 85 regular season humiliation.
After two years of endless hype about the Bears.
To go into Soldier Field in January against that team and really put a methodical beating on them was a source of pride only rivaled by Super Bowl wins.
Hail to those Redskins
There also was an 1988 bears beat down of the Redskins 38-14, then the Redskins won in 1989 34-14
As a 12 year old Bear's fan, this loss brought me to tears. Redskins played great. Those Bear's teams were plagued by the fact that McMahon was injured all the time. I love Flutie but he was in over his head this early in his career.
My lasting memory of this game was Joe Jacoby playing with a broken hand which the announcer said was protected by a bowl of some sort.
One of the greatest o-lineman of all time. The NFL hof is a joke.
Darrell Green was something else...
Just pure speed and heart.
This was like a Super Bowl victory. The allegedly unbeatable Bears at Soldier Field, and Chicago led at halftime. Joe Gibbs was the best. Washington played with tremendous heart in those days. It's never been the same since.
1940 NFL TITLE GAME Bears 73 Redskins 0. Biggest beat down in pro football history
@@donnix1192shush!
Has the Giants fan I'm so glad that the Redskins beat the bears that year football is a game of matchups I don't believe we would have beaten the bears in the NFC championship game
If I remember correctly, this game was Gibbs' 70th win as Redskins coach and made him the winningest coach in Redskins history. HTTR!
Hail to the Redskins! To hell with the safe spaces (aka “commanders”)
Great day for the Hogs, particularly Jacoby and Grimm who played through injury against the No. 1 ranked defense in the NFL.
The Hogs played brilliantly and credit Bugel and Gibbs for developing a blocking scheme for this game which totally negated the vaunted Bears' defense and their blitzing packages.
RetroSkins - I love your channel!! Thank you for the great Redskin memories, and the best quality game videos on CZcams! Much appreciated!
Jeepers… u make RetroSkins blush.
What a milestone's game by Darrell Green amazing if you think his first seasons
Never forget this win in Chicago!! and again In 87!!!payback for 84!! Incredible!!
Man im addicted to this channel, i have it on at work, i have 2 monitors, one on these 30 minute highlights thw other on real work, been watching constantly the last couple days
Thank you! Plenty more to come.
Yessssirrrr, Classic Game!! #HTTR
After the 1985 loss the Redskins beat on the Bears in 86 and 87 divisional round. 89,90, and 91 regular season games. Other than 1988, the Bears couldn't beat the Redskins.
Bears didn’t lose to the Redskins in 1985
@@TL2354
Who said they did?
I think talent-wise, they were pretty close in those years, but Gibbs outcoached Ditka.
@@brianstupar7433
The Redskins had great receivers. Chicago never did.
You do not mention the Bears stunning the Redskins at RFK stadium in the 1984 divisional playoff. Conveniently I might add.
Joe Gibbs was studying the Bears for at least a year.
Al Bundy was in attendance
Redskins learned how to handle the blitz, and beat a better team. The Bears would have beaten Phil Simms and the giants because Phil had no clue how to handle the blitz. And what happens in the Super Bowl? The big Orange rush 3 men all day and Phil has the best game of his life.
Simms had nightmare games versus those Bears teams.
The play at the 19:16 mark is the exact same formation and initial post-snap movement the Skins used on Riggins TD run in SB XVII. Here though they fool Chicago with a QB keeper. Brilliant
16:55 Daryl Grant stops a Bears drive in the red zone with a huge hit on Walter Payton, causting Sweetness to fumble.
I remember watching this game at late grandparents house in Columbus Georgia on their cbs station WRBL Channel 3 on the same day the AFC divisional playoff game in Cleveland between the Jets and browns on January 3rd 1987
Bad call on Richardson which led to the Redskins 3rd TD.
Con esos receptores monk,clar y sander cualquier pasador se sentiria contenton claro hablo de washington.
That was an amazing ending.. HTTR!
Hot dog vendor likes what he's seeing at the 42 second mark
😂
Jay was the man on this day.
Yep, this day was the pinnacle of his NFL career. Lawrence Taylor and the Giants contained him the next week and he stumbled and bumbled through the 87 season before being dumped. But on this day, he won the hearts of Skins fans.
@@brianstupar7433
Schroeder never rectified his accuracy issues. It consigned him to mediocrity in the long run.
Art Monk is possibly my favorite football player of all time, but I still think that pass interference call on the Bears at 20:48 is stupid.
Hey Retro. Do the game that we won, were Manley spit in the guys face. I can't remember who we played. Help me out. Manley at his best as a beast...
Maybe one of the biggest road wins in Redskins history.
GREAT GAME for Art Monk and Defense. NICE to see it again.
Payton has always been a lose ball carrier, he never tucks the ball into his body
I have to confess, as a Giants fan - I was only 7 in '86, but in retrospect - I feel like the Giants got lucky not having to face the Bears in the NFC Championship that year. By '90 when the G-Men beat them in the Div game in NJ, the Bears had aged slightly, so that one felt expected...But really, the Redskins beating the Bears in '86 (and the year after) feels like a nice little stroke of luck.
Nah...the Bears had no quarterback in '86. Who would have been under center for Chicago? McMahon playing with half a throwing shoulder all season? Fuller? Tomczak? Flutie? None of them were beating the Giants that year.
Darrell Green - Dennis Gentry - Doug Flutie - Dan Fouts - Dan Marino - Dennis McKinnon - David Hill - Dan Hampton - Dave Duerson - Dan Dierdorf - Don Warren - Danny White
jus an absolute tragedy to the nfl jim mcmahon was never ever healthy... the skins. were good but lets all be honest they were not. beating the 85' bears and that's what they woulda been in 86' w. mac! 87' he played good till he got hurt but finished the game w a rag arm . had bears up 14-0 in 87' then got hit on a td pass
After that one Super Bowl the Bears got soft like Rocky did in Rocky III. Unlike Rocky in that movie they never recovered.
Bears fan babies still claim to this day that Doug Flutie was the reason they lost, completely forgetting that the Redskins won there in the playoffs again the next year with McMahon at QB!
The "vaunted" (hahahah) '85 Bears were One-And-Done because of the '86 and '87 Redskins!
Redskins ended any chance of an 80's Bears dynasty. Good. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the 85 Bears 😜
I shut them up with...”so just the one?”.......
But 85 bears Killed us 45 -10🤣🤣🤣

Mike Ditka being conservative on a long 3rd and goal from the 2.
The Bears amazingly won 14 games that year with horrible QB's. Bears QB's combined for 12 TD's and 24 INT's.
Bears played in a tit division in 1986. Packers, Lions, and Bucs COMBINED for 11 wins all year. The Vikings were a solid non-playoff 9-7 that year and the Bears split with them.
As a Bears fan, I was quite young, and remembered celebrating the year before with cake. I didn't know what "celebrate" meant, I thought it had something to do with cake. So I asked my mom if we could celebrate, and she asks, why would we do that? The Bears lost!
Crazy how this Bears squad only won one title.
Ditka always said he thought they were gonna win more after the '85 season
Yay! They beat Doug Flutie then in 1987 an injured Jim McMahon would of beat the Redskins had Darrell Green not ran a stupid punt ret. Back! Y'all forget 1984? 😂. The Bears with Steve Fuller beat Washington after they had just went to 2 Super Bowls in a row....a good team would of shut this QB out!
Was Doug Flutie regularly as bad as he was in this game?
Redskins coach dress up looking like a real down to earth coach and bears coach dress up looking like a conservative lawyer 😅😅😅
Bears defense was dominated in the 2nd half. Something else that was telling, after the Manley hit on Flutie not one Bers player stuck up for Flutie. That’s fucked up
You're right. I never thought about that. The O linemen should've jumped all over Manley.
Oh they all hated Flutie.
McMahon especially
I never understood the hate
redskins and rest of nfl: thank you jim mcmahon for being hurt every year cuz u kicked the shit out of us.. redskins 45-10, giants 21-0, 49ers 26-10 on thevroad .. jus annoying to this day
Bears fans always throw Flutie under the bus for this loss, ignoring that the very next year they lost again with McMahon playing. Aside from '85 the Ditka Bears were in part a product of being in a bad division. Won only 2 more playoff games in seven chances. One of those was the Fog Bowl and the other was against an 8-8 Saints team.
Neal Anderson was a solid replacement for Payton and had some very good years. It seemed like the Bears could never develop a good passing game in those years of the late 80s and early 90s.
The redskins didn’t stop the dynasty, it was the 49ers in the 1988 NFC Title game.
@@donnix1192
Haha. What dynasty? The Bears were thwarted in consecutive seasons in elimination games by the Redskins. The 49’ers merely added to your agony.
What stopped a Bears dynasty was the Bears not being good enough. After their lone Super Bowl win the Ditka Bears went 2-5 in the post season. They went 1-4 against the 49ers and 1-5 against the Redskins the rest of the way. They were the 4th best NFC organization of '81-'92.
@@cardboardbelt
Correct….well them not being good enough AND the Washington Redskins!

Dirty play from the illiterate.
I remember the vikings killed the bears in the metrodome,tommy kramer gave them problems,also the monday night game to the rams that they lost.
