From Bears to Patriots, Karras family linked by Super Bowl rings

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The picture of three Super Bowl rings – from the 1963 Chicago Bears, the 1987 Washington Redskins and the 2016 New England Patriots – is a sparkling reminder of the championship link between reserve Patriots guard Ted Karras III, his father and his late grandfather.

It is timely to highlight that link this week, with the Patriots visiting the Bears on Sunday.

It was in Chicago, at Wrigley Field, where Ted Karras played guard for the ’63 Bears and helped pave the way on Billy Wade’s two quarterback sneaks for touchdowns in the NFL championship.
