The Chicago Bears are a professional football team of the National Football league.They play in the NFC West Division alongside the Green Bay Packers,the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions.Their home field is in Soldier field.This is a very storied franchise and the current discussion here is going to be about their super bowl team of the 1985/86 season.That is the standard of measurement of great football teams,winning the big one,the nfl championship.

When the season started in 1985 the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco Forty Niners were the favorites to come out of the NFC.From the AFC the favorites were the Miami Dolphins and the Los Angeles Raiders.

The season started with the Bears winning their first four games before a test game with the Cinncinati Bengals.The Bears had as their quarterback a certain Jim McMan who had came in a monday night game against the Minnesota Vikings to win the starting job,throwing some very long bombs for touchdowns.The Bengals had Boomer Easison at quarterback and this bears team never gave him a chance,causing him to product five turnovers on their way to a resounding victory.

The next big test was against the San Francisco forty niners,who came into that season as the defending world champions.The Bears went on a defensive attack mood and never gave Joe Montana and co a chance.The bears defense was getting so dominating that,annoucer John Madden who had coached the Los Angeles Raiders in the past was asked how do you stop this defense and he said he does not know.

The Cowboys were the next big text for the Bears and the game was played in Texas.44-14 was the final score in favor of the bears.Cowboys quarterback Danny White was knocked out of the game and this was becoming a trademark for this bears team,getting to the quarterback before he could get rid of the ball.

The Bears will finish the regular season with a single lose to the Dolphins in Miami in a much anticipated Monday night matchup.They would create a video called superbowl shuffle before even making it to the big game.They would go on a roll during the playoffs and thrash the New England Patriots 44-10 to win the superbowl in January 1986.

The Bears attacking defense of the year including the likes of Wilbur Marshall,Ortis Wilson,Dan Hampton,Mike Singletary,Richard Dent and William the refrigerator Perry .At offense they had speedsters Wiilis Gault and Ron Brown at wide receivers and Walter Payton at running back.Jim Mchmon played at quarterback.Walter Payton who is now of late, would finish his nfl career with the record for career running yards,record that has since being broken by Emmiit Smith.

The coach of this team was Mike Dickta and his defensive coordinator was Buddy Ryan.Buddy Ryan got lifted by his players after winning the superbowl and that was the beginning of the end of his career in Chicago.He got a lot of credit for molding that defensive unit and the next season he was out to philly coaching the eagles.

After the 1985/86 season

Buddy Ryan was the first person to leave and this great Bears team was never the same after that.The had some good regular season records but never made it back to the superbowl.Wilbur Marshall would also leave and join the Washington Redskins to conclude his career.The closest the Bears have come to reaching the superbowl since then is the NFC championship.
