This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Great Moments in Bears History-- Part 2: The "D" Shines Against Dallas 44-0 in '85
**********************************************
18. 44-0
Hey, it was just another win for those '85 Bears. DA BEARS!!
The Bear defense put on their usual show, this time in Week 11 at Texas Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys. It was a throttling. The Bears improved to 11-0 and clinched the NFC Central Division.
After this game, the Bears' Gary Fencik began to truly believe that the Super Bowl was in reach.
Supposedly, Cowboys defensive back Everson Walls had questioned whether the Bears were a s good as their undefeated record because they hadn't played anybody good yet.
After the game Otis Wilson recalled that Dan Hampton said, "Yeah, we still haven't played anybody."
The game was a six sack, five takeaway, two-defensive-touchdown masterpiece.
Sports Illustrated had a story saying the game was "an assault wave that made it look as if the Bears were playing 15 men against 11" on defense.
