The Bears honored Steve McMichael, who is headed toward the Pro Football Hall of Fame while fighting ALS, during halftime of their season opener against the Packers. At the end of a video montage of famous alumni, the Bears aired clips of some of McMichael’s most impactful plays.
The Bears held their annual alumni weekend for the lead up to the rivalry game. They introduced many of those alumni at halftime, with them lined on the south goal line at Soldier Field. McMichael’s wife Misty wore a navy No. 76 jersey on the field. When they read his name on the Bears’ list of alumni, she threw both hands in the air.
