History

Historical Context

The 1985 Chicago Bears, under Mike Ditka, posted a 15-1 record, led a league-best defense that surrendered only 198 points, and capped the season with a 46-10 Super Bowl XX victory over the New England Patriots on January 26, 1986. Their back-to-back playoff shutouts set a standard for dominance. The 2024 Bears’ 27-7 shutout of the Philadelphia Eagles recalls that historic defensive benchmark.
