22. SUPER BOWL XX-- The culmination of what has been called the greatest single-season team in NFL history. The 1985 Bears dominated opponents with the best running game in the league which was overshadowed by the most destructive defense in the NFL.
The SuperBears combined spectacular football with colorful personalities-- "Punky QB" Jim McMahon mooned a helicopter during practice the week before Super Bowl-- and swaggered into legend with the 46-10 vivisection of the Patriots on that glorious night in New Orleans. (And, we won't talk about that Monday night in Miami.)
23. WALTER PAYTON-- "Sweetness" was drafted by the Bears in 1975 and was the only good thing about the offense for almost a decade.
Peyton became the NFL's all-time rushing leader on Oct. 7, 1984, and held the mark for 18 years. Mike Ditka called him the best football player ever.
Died of a rare form of liver cancer in 1999 at age 45.
I was happy to get to meet him also.
24. JAY CUTLER-- The quarterback involved in the biggest trade in team history holds almost every significant Bears passing record. he has not, however, won a Super Bowl or even appeared in one. Wee still waiting. Personally, I think the Broncos took us to the cleaners in this one.
Well, One Out of Three Not So Good. --DaCoot
