The legend of Jim Harbaugh's season with Colts 30 years ago

OCT. 4, 1992, marked one of the most infamous days of Jim Harbaugh's NFL playing career.

Then the quarterback of the Chicago Bears, Harbaugh had been playing a perfect game -- he went 16-of-25 for 171 yards and one touchdown through three quarters. The Bears were leading the Minnesota Vikings 20-0 early in the fourth quarter, when Harbaugh audibled from a play that coach Mike Ditka called.

Harbaugh subsequently threw an interception to cornerback Todd Scott that was returned for a 35-yard touchdown. When Harbaugh reached the sideline, an enraged Ditka berated him.
