The 1985 Chicago Bears are considered by many, to have the greatest defense in the history of the NFL. But for them to etch their name in the history books they knew it would take more than impeccable statistics, it would take a win on the biggest stage. Mike Ditka and "Da Bears" did not let the pressure of closing the deal stop them as they went on to win Super Bowl XX in dominant fashion: 46-10 over the New England Patriots.

I am from the Chicago area but Super Bowl XX Bears vs. Patriots was an ordeal for me. My mother was a Bears fan and had been looking forward to the Super Bowl for weeks. She died January 21, 1986, 5 days before the Super Bowl. I went to her funeral the January 25, 1986, the day before the Super Bowl. I watched the Super Bowl with my mind reeling with grief. I may have been watching for her sake. I will never forget those events. I hope everyone appreciates their family members.
God bless you.....my parents died in 1984 ....hence no SB win for them either
Wow, that sucks. I am from Chicago as well and I lost my dad before this year's super bowl. We always watched football together and it hurt not having him there.
Enjoy your families because they won't always be there.
We know we will all die one day, but the pain comes in the unexpected shock of the loss. Sad to hear your story, your mom being a bears fan, and knowing how much joy she would of had seeing them dominate this game. It was a long time ago, but you always miss them. My mom and I are very close, she's 62 now, and I'm dreading that day when she's gone.
I am sorry for your loss. I was one of the people tossing confetti out the window on LaSalle street for the parade afterwards because our office on the 11th floor was the highest window that opened (we were in an older building as the bank across the street had no opening windows and the city actually gave us the supplies and called when we were to start tossing stuff out the windows - I always had thought those things were spontaneous).
I remember the whole city was excited and then a week later the Challenger disaster happened and everything deflated.
Robert Kruck sorry bro
Who else likes classic games more than modern games
Me. These rules were different in a way of having the toughest Quarterbacks in the day. These were the days a defender could actually hit a Quarterback and not get penalized for it.
Well to be fair this game was 46-10, not everyone will find blowouts fun
INeedModsToWin that’s because there wasn’t a penalty every other play. They just played football
Yes before it became the national felons league populated by street thugs.

I have watched the whole 85 season this year as a way of coping with the Bears of today….They are tough to watch nowadays, but still a life long fan… Bear Down!
Bear Down! Amen
Bears should've won at least three SB's with that team! Too bad Ryan and Ditka didn't get along...
The only thing the Bears were missing was a real quarterback.
Otis Wilson left, Buddy Ryan left, Wilbur Marshall left, the McMahon injury....our team was never the same, but hey, nobody can take away the SUPER BOWL SHUFFLE team!!! BEST DEFENSE EVER
@@kevaninthe4135 what do you mean, the dipshits had Flutie and let him go
@@kevaninthe4135 They did but he kept getting hurt
@@kevaninthe4135 Jim McMahon went to the Eagles, Cunningham got injured, McMahon won every damn game he started. All that man did was win, and if Chicago would have kept McMahon and got rid of Ditka it's an easy two more Super Bowls.
Good god I have never seen a team like the Patriots look absolutely terrified offensively to take the field. That Bears defense was & still today was the most dominating defense in the history of the NFL
czcams.com/video/SncapPrTusA/video.html
It was like that all year for the Bears. It was like they had a pass rush cheat code. QBs were terrified before they ever took the field.
What really got the NFLs attention was how they destroyed the Cowboys 44-0 at Texas Stadium. They were good up to that point . After that game the Bears put the NFL on notice and NFL was in code red
Eason was a big part of the perception, he seemed unsteady and was also taught in school to wrap the ball up and fall down whenever a defender breathed on him. I guess he never played on a bad team and didn’t have much experience with adversity.
The Patriots were like a Pop Warner team.
Say what you want about the people on top, but the NFL has the best youtube channel out of all the professional leagues.
Game Highlight clips are pretty good, especially the "mic'd up" ones.
I agree
Ur right, the nfl actually cares and puts a lot of effort in they’re videos
Thats why The NFL Is America's Game Ratings not even Close A Sunday Night Football Game Blows Through the NBA finals or World Series
You will note that almost all of these classic games and most of the modern games are posted by individuals and not by the NFL. Thanks to the NFL the '85 Bears are lacking 4 regular season and the Giants PO game as they remove those games as fast as they appear.
That 85 bear's defense was just ridiculous at how good they were.
I agree. But of all the names you hear (Singletary , Dent, Hampton, Wilson, McMichael) two unsung heroes were Leslie Frazier and Mike Richardson. Because the other 9 were blitzing, or covering against the run or short pass, those two had to often run a 'cover 0' with no help from Duerson or Fencik.
People forget that Hannah whose like the best ever was playing left guard and he looked so useless in this game lol

EVERYBODY wears blue. Yawn.
That helmet with the D was cool, that etch-a-sketch Bronco they have now is absurd looking.
Those Pats uniform look outdated even in 85
After the game, the Bears' defense carried Buddy Ryan off the field, while the Bears' offense carried Mike Ditka off the field. Only time in SB history that two coaches were carried off the field.
With that thought in mind, this Super Bowl might have been better if the Chicago Bears had just played themselves: Ditka's offense vs. Ryan's defense.
James Tressler that game wouldn’t have been that close the bears offense was average except for Payton. McMahon was garbage, his backup Steve fuller was just as “good” as he was. The defense would have won the game 4-0.

True!
There is a common thread between those eagle of that time and these bears😊
@@michaelsmiley7190 77 Falcons?
@@damarfadlan9251 Look up the stats. It's really not even close
As a Bears fan, I've heard for years how upset Walter was he didn't score, but watching the replay, he had many chances. 5, 6, or 7 chances to get in from the 5. He was given the ball on 1st and Goal twice.
The Pats defense keyed on him. So he wasn't going to score. Perhaps Sweetness could trade places with Percy Howard.
Bears fan here, and I agree with you.
The Pats were all over him when he got the ball he still did his job *Greatest Rb Ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Payton realized that even if he didn't get a TD, he was still so incredibly instrumental in the Bears winning this game. The Patriots were so obsessed with making sure he didn't do anything that it caused the rest of the team to shine and dominate.
If I were Payton, of course I would be disappointed I didn't get a TD. But I also think I would understand what role I played in bringing to Chicago arguably the best sports season it ever had. I do hope he made his peace with this before he died. I really do.
Oh yeah I agree Walter was key in their win...you don't always have to score the big touchdown to help to win. Thats why its called a 'Team.
I will never forget the half time stats of this game:
The patriots had negative yards rushing, negative yards passing, negative total yards at halftime. If the bears would have kept their first string players in the entire game, the final stats would have been similar.
This is why this game is so memorable. If someone can quote similar stats from a different Super Bowl, please speak up.
The sound of crickets in the background LMAO.....BEST DEFENSE EVER
Nope...I can’t...but an honorable mention to the Dallas Cowboys against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XII. Craig Morton actually looked afraid at times and got pulled from the game.
You forgot to mention that the Bears 3rd string defense recorded a safety. Also Reggie Phillips was a backup to Leslie Fraiser and he returned an INT for a td
try the seattle seahawks in super bowl fourty eight. lol. 44-8 was called "D" & "O"'
ATHEIST LEOPARD He asked for stats, not points. Bears were better.

The good ol 85 Bears. I hope we’ll get this good again in the near future
never happen not enough money to field that team under todays salary cap how could you pay all those guys
Ditka put the curse on the Bears for didnt let Payton runs in for TD
Until the Bears get new owners they’ll never win
I used to have this entire game on VHS, complete with all the commercials!
Damn I love this game. Thanks to the NFL for putting the games on CZcams I never watched before last year's season. Damn, I missed so much! :(
End of the first half of the super bowl you have negative rushing and passing yards. Really think about that for a second. That's just incredible.
Suhey was an amazing fullback and had a great game in the SB besides the fumble... He's one of the most underrated Bears of all time IMO
That was a year in my life I’ll always remember. I was 25 years old and everything was going great. I’m 63 now and I can still feel the positivity and good times I had that year.
Ah, the good ol' 80's
I'm a little league coach for FedEx orange bowl league and my 3rd year of coaching I tried the 4-6 defense and we went undefeated and only gave up 7 points all season long beat the best of the best the team that scored the 7 points were 3 times state champs..that defense when coached right with discipline players is unstoppable for sure
The first Super Bowl I remember watching. Born and raised in Dallas. Lifelong Cowboys fan. My God that Bears team was incredible. I always said as a kid if I made it to the NFL (yeah right) lol if I couldn't play for the Cowboys. I'd want to be a Chicago Bear.

The pats should have kept these and the bucs should have kept the creamsicle.

Thank you for posting this, @NFL. As a Bears fan it was hard to miss this game but when it was played I was deployed to Honduras. The only comms was a (military) satellite radio and with radio silence I had no idea who won for three days. This is literally my first time seeing the full game.
Mike Singletary, Wilbur Marshall, and Otis Wilson. I feel like that's gotta be the best LB corps in my lifetime.
Wasn't even the best LB core in football in that era...LT, Banks, and Carson with Gary Reasons cleared them.

I think that if the Dolphins played instead of the Pats, it would have gone either way.
The story would have been that the Bears would be wanting to get back at Marino for giving them their only loss that year.
This Patriot team won 3 playoff games on the road to get to the Super Bowl, which was impressive at the time. But it didn't matter, since everybody knew the Bears were going to blow them out in the SB.

Holy crap the helmet-to-helmet hit Willie Gault took returning the opening kickoff was vicious. He's 100% knocked out. 00:44 And then watch Gault at the bottom of the screen when he lines up for the Bears' first play. 1:19 Homeboy's legs are like rubber. Has no idea where he is. Football in the 80's...
He’s completely out of it. Stumbling to the line, all wobbly. For suuure was concussed and KOd.
Thanx! I check that out!
Kickoffs are the most dangerous play, and this is a clear example why. This is the kind of hit I'm glad we don't see anymore, even if some of today's penalties are too strict.
Perry also knocked out Mike Singletary with friendly fire at 53:30
Yeah and it was Mosi Tatupu who put the hit on him, not Rembert.
I lived in Chicago during that 85 season, the whole city was electric. Chicago loves their Bears. Watched
the game in Vegas, 5 to 1 pay off on Perry's TD. Best single season defense in the Super Bowl era.
Jim McMahon 25-0 consecutive wins as a starter 1984-1987. NFL record.
Not the greatest QB
Great game manager
Leader of men
That Patriots uniform is gorgeous, and gorgeous is not even a word I use.
yeah that 3 point stand on the side of that Pat helmut is classic. the present 1 is DISGUSTING!!!!
Wish we could use throwback helmets😤
ABoxOfBroken8Tracks Doesn't matter what your uniform looks like when you're a loser 😂
The Patriots should have always worn those uniforms
that's right, it was Kraft's idea to create the new uniforms and idiotic Elvis logo in 1993, after it was REJECTED by fans in a referendum in 1980. the nitwit needs to reinstate the old uniforms or at least iconic Pat Patriot to create a connection to the past of this great franchise. Hell I remember when they played at Fenway Park, and so does he.
Couple things.
1. This is the best defense ever. Best team, maybe. But definitely the best defense.
2. Thank god for instant replay nowadays. In the 3rd quarter the fumble the Patriots had is very close, and in today's game it's probably ruled incomplete. And then the Gentry reception down to the 1. He wasn't even close to being in, both feet were out.
3. It's a shame Payton didn't get a piece of the pie this game. Not only did they give the ball to Suhey far too often, McMahon and Perry were handed touchdowns on the goalline. Payton deserved a td.
4. God damn Willie Gault is fast.
5. Too bad this wasn't a rematch of the Bears vs Dolphins. That would have been an epic game.
MichaelMick eh I would rank the 2013 Seattle and 2002 buccaneers defense over this unit.
I'd rank you as not knowing anything about football. Mentions these two teams and not 2000 Ravens. And no, neither of those defenses are even near the '85 Bears. For now until the end of CZcams, you've created many laughs.
MichaelMick lol that is your opinion. I was even debating whether or not I should add the 2000 Ravens defense but I though the two I mentioned would be enough to drive through your skull.
- A Bears-Dolphins matchup might've provided for a more competitive Super Bowl. Bears probably would've still won, but the Dolphins could've made things a bit closer than this Patriots squad did.
Tempest Jay you're wrong bud. The 2002 Bucs weren't too far off but the BEARS had the edge over them. As for the 2013 Seahawks they had a better secondary than the BEARS but the BEARS had a much better linebacker core and D-line
i will never forget watching this game i was on edge the whole time watching and screaming and cheering i was only 11 and made the biggest impression on me love is DAAABEARS
Who can stand watching the modern game? Give me the 70s - 80s anytime.
It's interesting to go back and watch this game as a Bears fan through through today's eyes. Things that struck me:
1. Sad that as a Bears fan we have to go back more than 30 years for a Championship.
2. Some of the hits from back then are brutal and would get a serious personal foul now.
3. New England actually started off with decent momentum, and could have easily been up 10-0 were it not for one dropped pass.
4. Lots of calls went in favor of the Bears, like the Dennis Gentry catch at about 1:30 that really wasn't a catch.
5. The defense started off a bit slow, but once the defense got going though, it was beautiful to watch. Richard Dent was the rightful MVP
6. The Patriots were not about to let Walter Payton beat them, that was a clear part of their game plan. They however seemed to give Suhey a pass, and forgot to stop Willie Gault.
Yep I saw it all like it was yesterday
Chicago bears 1985 the best very unlike Chicago and NFL will field a team like that
Agree the catch was a bad call, but the Pats still would have lost.
The Pats didn't respect anyone on offense other than Walter, so they keyed on him. This was Ditka's best game calling for the offense. He used the other weapons to do the Pats in.
Still mad Walter Payton never got a Super Bowl touchdown.
Problem was, the Pats was completely focused on stopping Payton.
Yeah me too Payton is my all time favorite player pats fan btw
yes he still mad because he want touchdown super bowl
Hawkeyeryan20 same!
Payton is a SUPERBOWL CHampion. Thats all that matters. T here are a LOT of great NFL players from the 1970s that didnot win a SB. EARL CAMPBELL,OJ SIMPSON etc... just to name a few!!!1
First time watching since 1985 Love the Bears.
Each time I come back to watch this game even though I know it will never happen, I still wait for Payton to get the ball near the goal line to score a TD.
Meh... He had 22 carries, many of which were in the Red Zone. He had his opportunities.
I've never really understood this view. The Bears were trying to win a Super Bowl, and you can't take your foot off the gas at any point. Coaches can't worry about who gets touchdowns and who doesn't.
@bradleyboyer9979 Many carries in the red zone? You need to go rewatch the game, because you're way off. NO... Payton did NOT have his opportunities!!!
@@millypoo7713 lol, I've watched the game probably over 50 times at this point. He absolutely had red zone opportunities, especially early in the game. He didn't have it that day. He had 22 carries for 64 yards. In the infamous words of a Herm Edwards, "you play to WIN THE GAME!"
@bradleyboyer9979 Well, obviously you don't need to play to "win the game" when you already have the game won leading 37-3 late in the 3rd quarter. The Patriots had ZERO chance of coming back that late in the game down by 34 points. Bears possession late in the 3rd quarter... Instead of giving the ball to Walter Payton 1st and goal at the one yard line... Ditka calls a play for William Perry to get the ball. He barrels in for a TD. A running play with Payton following Perry blocking for him would have been unstoppable and Walter would have gotten his TD. The game was a route at this time and Ditka screwed up big time by not calling a play for Payton 1st and goal at the one. Again, the Patriots had ZERO chance of coming back and the priority should have been getting Walter a TD. Yes, earlier in the game I can see your point and Ditka needed to call the plays best suited to win the game. But when it's 37-3 late in the 3rd... you get Payton his TD. In my opinion, Ditka messed up. No matter what you reply, I will NOT change my mind about this.
@@millypoo7713 Ditka has since said that not letting Walter get a TD in the bowl is one of the biggest regrets of his life

Their uniforms were so cool that they lost the Super Bowl.

I love those pats uniforms
I miss these Patriots uniforms...they were the best ...helmet with pat patriot logo is fantastic
No offense necessary. Greatest defense in history of game. Tomzack, Fuller, Daffy Duck could have won as QB for whole postseason where Bears won 91-10, with opp yds at 433 for 3 games! The whole season was 46 Defense with (to run down clock) touch of Sweetness. My regret is not having the Dolphins as our rival. A win over them would've been tougher and more climactic. I don't regret Walter not having a TD, as he played and fully appreciated his role as decoy to Pats' D.
It very easily could have been only 3 points for the three playoff games. Unbelievable.
They really missed an opportunity to go undefeated.
And even those three points were due to a fumble , not to defensive play
Frank Cohen Then why didn’t they win when McMahon was hurt?
Actually he was upset about not being able to score...
what a glorious massacre
Ghost Rider no, why?
The ‘85 Patriots; talk about a team that shouldn’t have been there.
They deserve to be there you’re just a hater
Have not seen this since watching it this first time. Have it recorded on an old Beta tape, but don't know if the tape is any good now. Thanks for posting this!!!! Go Bears!!!!!
Don't think I ever saw John Hannah look beaten and battered, but that sideline shot of him with that huge bandage above his eye speaks volumes of the amazing dominance of that '85 Bears D!
-19 first half yards
@Matt Beeman Every play is a flag now. Especially if Brady is involved if you touch him its a penalty.
patriots 85 worst ever that is w
It was 44-3 after 3 quarters! Just imagine if Payton doesn't fumble. Bears leave starters in and get another SHO.
The Bears were unstoppable that season.
My first ever SB when I was 9 yrs old. Still remember it well. NFL so classic back in the 80's & 90's. That classic Patriots uniform, one of the best
The game was so different back then. Jim McMahon had a 56.1 completion % with 15 TD, and that was considered good. Their #1 receiver, Willie Gault, caught 33 balls and 1 TD. It was all about defense and the running game.
So true. Their stud WR only had 2 receptions a game? FN weird.

NFL is the G.O.A.T
+TheSportsGamer Brady is the GOAT
you can see those on hard knocks
Rod Westray u know it lol lol
McMahony called the WRONG play which is why Payton fumbled. Read Macs book,he said so himself!!!!!
This was the greatest day in the history of many Chicagoans lol.
Was 9years old and years later still a Bears fan!
I was 9 yrs old and This was the First Superbowl I remember.. Been a fan Ever since and Still here in 2024.. Even tho I live in Michigan..
My Brother'S Best Friend and mine *Charles* invited me to his home to watch that game. We had watched most of the games that seaspn. When the Patriots scored that first field goal 'he said to me...Don't worry about that ! I told him...I'm not even worried ! I knew the *Bears were going to be the **SuperBowl Champions** after the 'Eastern Conference Championship Game against The Rams' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The greatest team to ever play the game the 1985 Bears. Rip Walter Payton
I saw 'Dan Hampton of the Bears late in that game sitting on the bench with blood dripping from his taped fingers. One of the announcers said"Only one thing could make this game any better...is if it snows!!!! ...Moments later IT Snowed !!!!! Greatest Football Game of my life !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Larry McGrew starting LB for Pats who recovered Payton’s fumble early in game would get his SB ring 5 years later with the Giants. Unfortunately he passed away in 2004
This is when the Patriots said, "We gotta start cheating."
Tubal Cain Never a comment more truer
LOL You think only the Patriots cheated? LOL
While the 49ers were cheating in the 80's. You're a moron
Tubal Cain 1997 was the last year the patriots were legitimately in the Superbowl. The packers beat them 35-21 in Superbowl 31. The Brady years from 2001 upward is when the cheating began.
Dude that's wrong cause they been cheating since they been a team
Patriots uniforms back then were awesome, really wish they'd go back to that.
Wise Guy I was just about to post the same thing! Man they look so awesome. Specially those helmets. I have no idea what they had in mind when they changed out of those
True...best uniforms and best logo pat the patriot !
We always talk about that 85 Bears pass rush, but that secondary was damn good. They were regularly left with only 4 guys, and they made it work.
My dad and grandfather worked for the Chicago Bears that year. My grandfather Mitchell Friedman, is one heck of a photographer!
Ahh 80's football.. When Patriots fans couldn't even fill a stadium..
And before Kraft came aboard, the two previous owners (Victor Kiam, James Orthwein) tried to move them to either Jacksonville or St. Louis.
And also, the NFC Title game was the REAL Super Bowl back then.
JimHawkwind03411 Not to mention two football teams prior to the Patriots relocated from Boston because of the lack of support from their "fans". One of those teams being the Redskins.
ha
And what makes you such an expert?
MIKECNW How about the fact that the Patriots had a 17 game-long television blackout streak because they couldn't fill a single stadium or the fact that the Patriots almost relocated to St. Louis because they weren't getting enough support from their fans?
That defense was nasty. 9 guys crowding the line and coming for blood. Modern rules would not allow the 85 Bears. They hit too hard for today’s game.
Oh please....
The 85bears couldn't play that defence today anyways u can spread them out now and have them big lb trying to cover these fast rb now they would get their lunch eaten
You can still.hit hard
All lies you are just another jealous hater. Don’t worry you can keep telling yourself that to help you cope
I lost my Dad last year He was a big Bear fan! Love you Dad!
47:40 is the biggest play for the Bears that not many people realize. Leslie Frazier was the best corner that the Bears had. It's what made the 46 defense work. If your corners can't cover one on one then you get exposed. Leslie Frazier would end up having career ending ACL tear because of that "reverse". This weakness wouldn't come back to bite until the next year against the Redskins where Mike Richardson just got torched by Art Monk in the playoffs in the divisional round.
Absolutely
It's weird watching so few flags, today's NFL is like FLAG FLAG FLAG FLAG FLAG FLAG FLAG FLAG!!!!!!!!
Two words "TOTAL DOMINATION"!!!!
Those 2 words u used are what Green bay does to the bears every year
Only team in NFL history to have a shut out in back to back playoff games.
Back when the NFL didn't get political. I remember this game. I miss those days.
Greatest defense of all-time!
Tailor made scheme for the power offenses of that time. Especially in their division with GB, Detroit, and Minnesota.
They totally dismantled my Raiders in 84 as they ran strictly power runs (no traps, counters, or even bootlegs) and 7 step drops. They lost all their QBs that game.
Surprised Marcus Allen actually had a decent day running
Nope my niners 1984 team was better
That's funny.......😂😂😂😂
The N F L ,USE TO BE GREAT BEFOR THE n f l. Startedmokeeing around with it I
Best defense period.
not impressed....just saw it
'77 was the last year you could still mug receivers all the way down the field. And the '77 falcons were still losing games, teams didn't have much urgency to score a whole lot against them. All things considered the Bears were way more impressive.
Nobody cares what you saw Bryan
85 was really the first year I watched football and bears was my favorite team and I lived in Wellsville New York then bills became a team but Chicago bears always have a spot in my heart from 1985 Jim McMahon refrigerator Perry with my favorite players and he jumped over the line get that touchdown second time first time you landed on everyone have my favorite play
Certainly the best defensive effort in a super bowl since the 75 super bowl when the Steelers held the Vikings to just 119 total yards.
2000 Ravens didn’t allow an offensive score. That’s the best
2000 ravens are frauds and they proved that in 2001-2003
Patriots should've stayed in Boston that week. I do miss those helmets and uniforms though. Bring back the Minuteman logo!
21:24 Rex Ryan makes an appearance with the killer stache lol. Go Bears!!
😆
I was a young 19 years old when this game was played and was a huge bears fan! loved watching them play! RIP Payton I sure wish he would of scored a TD !!
I've never watched this game before (only the highlights), but I don't think I've ever seen such utter domination in a professional championship game. The Bears took the Patriots' souls very early and then had their way with their lifeless corpses for the remainder of the game.
Fun Fact: Steve Grogan was the only QB to throw a touchdown pass against the Bears in the playoffs.
AwesomeBill 94 Even More Fun Fact: The Patriots' 10 points were the only points given up in 3 playoff games. To say that's pretty good is a gross understatement.
Lindsey Summers Truth. my son argues with me, that the Seahawks LOB is better. Statistically, over time, they are better. But for one season, the ‘85 Bears were the best defense ever to play. They only gave up more than 20 points 3 times that whole year. They held 13 teams to a touchdown or less, registered two shutouts during the regular season, two in the playoffs (never been duplicated), and only gave up one touchdown in the SB, with a total playoff score of 91-10. It’ll be hard for anyone to ever replicate that in today’s rule-heavy, pass-oriented league. This was the most dominant team in modern football history.
Fact: Tony Eason was 0 for 6, 0 yds, 0 TDs, 0 INTs, Sacked 3 times, Fumbled the ball away once, yanked from the game with a little over 5 minutes in first half. Grogan played the rest of the game, completed some passes, got some yards, etc, BUT ... it is Eason who is Officially credited with the LOSS cuz he was the Starting QB.
They put Grogan in because he was mobile
Fun Fact: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers scored 35 points against the 85 Bears in a early regular season game.... Bears won 45-35. Hard to believe the Bucs actually scored that many points against the Bears in that season. And interestingly the game at Tampa Bay was actually a good game in which the Bucs played the Bears tough all the way into the 4th quarter trailing 20-19 before a late td put the game away for the Bears win 27-19.
At the end of the first quarter, the Patroits were in the negative in three catergories!! Zero 1st downs and 2 turnovers. Defensive domination!!!
I'm a Pats fan and I remember this time period. I started watching Pats in the 70's so I paid my dues. Back then the seats at Foxboro were benches. Like a high school field. Pats have come a long way...….
Peter Sansone same here Pete, our buts would be so cold on those aluminum benches that when it was time for a beer and a dog we would be stuck to the beach , and then the concourse wind tunnel. And just think of the players on that fake turf over the concrete lol just nuts. 🏈👍🍺
As a football fan there's no greater pleasure than to watch a legendary defense in action.
2000 Ravens. The only defense in history to have a Super Bowl shutout. Only points scored on them was special teams. ‘85 Bears can’t say that
@@thefrase7884but they still had points scored on them. Idiot
@@Mind-your-own-beeswaxBut they didn’t have any scored on their defense idiot.
Be quiet white boy go spread hate somewhere else
I think the best month of football ever played was the Bears in January of 1986.
Back 2 back shutouts in 2 playoff games!!! That was ridiculous D.
NOBODY in the history of the NFL accomplished that, EVER
@@oldskoolrulez1 The following season the Giants beat the 49ers 49-3 and Washington Football Team 17-0, heck of an encore
@@oldskoolrulez1 Yes the bears have been irrelevant since
8:17 J. McMahon 43-yard pass to W. gault --- beautiful!
THis team is the best team in the league ever , no team will ever top this team and no defense will ever come close to be equal to this defense. This whole team is legendary
