History

Historical Context

In 1985 the Chicago Bears, coached by Mike Ditka, went 15-1, shut out two playoff foes and won Super Bowl XX 46-10 over the New England Patriots on Jan 26 1986. Their “46 defense” allowed only 198 points all season. Today injuries have forced the Bears to rotate quarterbacks—Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum—against the Philadelphia Eagles, recalling the 1985 need for adaptability.
