Well, Da Bears Is Out, But A Look Back to Some Better Times-- Part 1: Taking Care of the Cowboys in '85

The Chicago Bears have finished a very disappointing season 8-8, especially so since everyone had such high hopes after the previous 12-4 year.  And that coming after a whole lot of sub .500 years.

But,the Nov. 16, 2019, Chicago Sun-Times had a two-page spread on better times in Bear history.

" 'D'LIGHTFUL:  THIS TRULY WAS A ZERO-SUM GAME" by Mark Potash.

Shutout of Cowboys in 1985 among Bears' most memorable defensive performances.

This week in Bears history:  The '85 Bears pick up steam.

Truly, thoughts of the 1985 Bears and that Super Bowl XX victory always brings a smile and warm thoughts to Bear fans everywhere.

"Though the best was yet to come, the '85 Bears and their vaunted defense picked up steam 34 years ago this week with a stunning 44-0 shutout of the Cowboys at Texas Stadium."

And, they had been a bane to us for a whole lot of years.

"In fact, the Week 11 game was the highlight of one of the greatest defensive runs in NFL history  Defensive players Richard dent and Mike Richardson scored touchdowns on interception returns, and interceptions by Leslie Frazier and Ken Taylor led to short touchdown drives as the Bears (11-0) annihilated the playoff-bound Cowboys (7-4) before a national-television audience.
