The Chicago Bears have more weird moments in their franchise history than their status as one of the league's founding members and old grey ladies would imply. Even when the Bears were a historically dominant team, some peculiarities managed to take some of the fun out of their Super Bowl triumph.
The 1985 Bears are one of the most iconic teams in NFL history and in contention for the title of best team ever. While their mighty defense was their clear defining trademark, Walter Payton shouldered the load on offense. Super Bowl XX against the New England Patriots should have been a coming-out party for both Payton and the defense, but Mike Ditka made sure one of those things didn't happen.
