The 1985 Chicago Bears boasted one of the most feared defenses the National Football League has ever seen. The defense was anchored by feared Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary and Hall of Fame defensive end Richard Dent, the Buddy Ryan-coached defense was the number one defense in the league and their 198 points and 4.135 yards allowed and 54 takeaways were a record that went unbroken for 28 years. The potent offense was led by brash quarterback Jim McMahon and featured the elusive prolific rusher Walter Payton. Coached by Hall of Famer Mike Ditka, the Bears steamrolled through the league and finished with a 15-1 record. The Bears played in Super Bowl XX where they demolished the New England Patriots 46-10.
