Welcome to your Super Bowl defense
A new head coach. A 2nd-year, 1st-round quarterback. A superstar linebacker. A dominant pass rush. A turnover-crazed defense. And an opposing QB running scared.
The date was November 7, 2004, and for the Bears franchise, it was a historic one. I bet a lot of Bears fans would find that statement a head-scratcher. But it’s true nonetheless.
Because that was the day that The Vision arrived.
The 2-5 Bears went into the Meadowlands on a Sunday afternoon and turned a two-touchdown deficit into a 28-21 win over Kurt Warner and the Giants. The victory was powered by a thrilling defensive effort that included two interceptions, three recovered fumbles and seven sacks.
