Background - Chicago Bears
Chicago has collected nine NFL titles and ranks behind only the Green Bay Packers in overall league crowns. The Bears were the NFL's most dominant team during the 1930s and 1940s, earning six league titles. George Halas, a cofounder of the NFL, collected 324 career victories during his 30 seasons as Chicago's head coach. He coached many future Hall of Fame members, including quarterback Sid Luckman and running backs Red Grange and Bronko Nagurski. Chicago made eight trips to the playoffs from 1984 to 1994 and won the Super Bowl in 1986. Running back Walter Payton, the NFL's all-time leading rusher with 16,726 yards, produced ten 1,000-yard seasons in these 11 years.
The Bears franchise was founded as the Decatur Staleys in 1920 by A. E. Staley of the Staley Starch Company. He hired George Halas to organize, coach, and play on the team. On September 17, 1920, Halas and representatives from 11 other teams met in Canton, Ohio, and organized the American Professional Football Association—the precursor to the NFL. Halas assumed ownership of the team in 1921 with his co-head coach, Dutch Sternaman. They moved the team to Chicago's Cubs Park (renamed Wrigley Field in 1926). The club won the new league's first title in 1921, and a year later Halas and Sternaman renamed the team the Bears.
Halas and Sternaman guided the Bears to eight consecutive winning records from 1921 to 1928. Their many stars included running backs Paddy Driscoll and Red Grange. Chicago's offensive line was anchored by center George Trafton, who knocked four opposing linemen out of commission in the first 12 plays during a 1920 contest.
A new era began in 1930 when another star running back, Bronko Nagurski, joined the team. Chicago earned back-to-back NFL titles in 1932 and 1933. Under Halas, the team strung together an NFL-record 18 consecutive victories from 1933 through 1934. The Bears went undefeated in the 1934 regular season as rookie running back Beattie Feathers became the first player ever to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a single season. After holding all 13 regular-season opponents to 16 or fewer points, the Bears fell to the New York Giants in the NFL Championship Game, 30-13.

2007 Season Preview
|
From 1939 to 1950 quarterback Sid Luckman directed Chicago to four league crowns. The Bears defeated the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins twice each in championship games. In 1940 the Bears' new T-formation offense, which depended on the quarterback to call plays and distribute the ball with passes, pitches, and options, demolished Washington 73-0 in what remains the most lopsided championship victory in NFL history. In 1942 Chicago compiled its second undefeated season.
Chicago fell out of championship contention from 1951 to 1962, reaching the playoffs in only one season. The Bears rebounded in 1963 when assistant coach George Allen designed a zone defense that starred future Hall of Fame member defensive end Doug Atkins, linebacker Bill George, and tackle-guard Stan Jones. George, originally a lineman, is credited with inventing the position of middle linebacker, and Jones helped pioneer the use of weights in training regimens. On offense, Mike Ditka revolutionized the tight end position, becoming one of the league's best pass receivers. The 1963 Bears posted a 9-3 win-loss record and defeated the New York Giants 14-10 for the NFL title.
In 1965 the Bears drafted linebacker Dick Butkus and running back Gale Sayers. Both were eventually elected to the Hall of Fame, but Chicago failed to reach the playoffs during their careers. Halas retired as head coach in 1968, and a year later the franchise posted its worst record ever at 1-13. The team moved to Soldier Field in 1971, but the Bears posted losing seasons from 1970 through 1975.
In 1977 the Bears made their first playoff appearance in 14 years. Walter Payton won the second of five consecutive NFC rushing titles, gaining a career-high 1,852 yards. Ditka returned to the club as head coach in 1982 and drove the Bears to six Central Division titles from 1984 to 1990. In 1985 the team achieved a 15-1 win-loss record, shut out the Giants and the Los Angeles Rams (now St. Louis Rams) in the playoffs, and defeated the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, 46-10.
Ditka's Bears led the league in defense three times during the 1980s, led by linebacker Mike Singletary and ends Richard Dent and Dan Hampton. In addition to Payton, Ditka's offense also starred running back Neal Anderson, wide receiver Willie Gault, and quarterback Jim McMahon. Payton retired in 1987 with 16,726 yards and 110 rushing touchdowns.
Ditka coached Chicago to three more Central Division titles before leaving the team in 1992. Former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt took over as head coach and rebuilt the team during the mid-1990s. In 1994 he guided the Bears to the playoffs, where they upset the Minnesota Vikings before falling to the San Francisco 49ers in the second round. The Bears struggled during the late 1990s, and Wannstedt was fired after the 1998 season.
1986 Super Bowl XX Defeated New England Patriots, 46-10
2006 Regular Season Record – 13-3
2006 Outcome – Lost in NFL Super Bowl
The Chicago Bears made it all the way to the NFL Super Bowl last year, and had a chance to win it all. The Chicago Bears faced off against the Indianapolis Colts and were not able to pull off the victory. The Chicago Bears pride themselves on their tough defense, and nothing will change in this upcoming season with Brian Urlacher as their linebacker. The Chicago Bears need more consistency from the quarterback position; Last season, Rex Grossman has one great game, and then he has one horrible game. The Chicago Bears finished last season with the second best record in the NFL, and are looking to continue their winning ways into this upcoming season. Can the Chicago Bears make it back to the big game? Only one way to find out! Come out to Soldier Field and cheer on your favorite team, the Chicago Bears!
