Chicago Bears · 0–0
MIKE DITKA · 1939–2026
There was only
one Da Coach.
A Hall of Fame player. A championship coach.
A Chicago original.
Ditka brought the same toughness to the sideline that he had brought to tight end. In 1985, his Bears turned a 15–1 regular season into a Super Bowl XX championship.
We’re returning to that season with all 28 teams, the complete schedule, and a new set of results on the tabletop. Every Chicago game gets the feature treatment. The tribute lives in playing the games.
Take the field with Chicago →
The season of the Bears.
