The 1985 Chicago Bears was certainly the best Chicago Bears football team of all time, and arguably the best football team ever to play the game. Their 1985 football team was built around a ferocious defense, led by "Iron" Mike Singletary. This tenacious linebacker led this Bear team to be the top ranked defense in the NFL, and the most talked about defensive unit in Bears history. This amazing defense certainly didn't lack in personality. Some of the stars included Richard Dent, William "The Refrigerator" Perry, Dan "Danimal" Hampton, Wilbur Marshall, Otis Wilson, Dave Duerson, and Gary Fencik. This exuberant bunch of characters held 11 of 16 teams to under 10 points or less! The Chicago Bears went on to finish the regular season with a 15-1 record, with their only loss coming at the hands of the Miami Dolphins.

The Bears had such confidence in themselves that they even came out with a music rap video, called the Super Bowl Shuffle while the season was still in progress.. All of the proceeds went to feed the hungry. The Bears were absolutely unstoppable in the playoffs. After two shutouts against the N.Y. Giants, and the Rams, the Bears destroyed the New England Patriots 46-10. the only possible regret is that Walter Payton wasn't able to score a touchdown in the blowout.

The debates will be discussed, pondered, and argued until the end of time, about who was the most dominating team of all time, but if you ask a Bears Fan, there is no discussing, no doubt, in their minds. They know. From the flashy punk rock QB known as Jim McMahon, to the elegance of the Great Running Back, Walter Payton, to the bone crushing hits of the terrifying Bear Defense, there leaves little doubt. The 1985 / 1986 Bears team was simply the best.

The 1985 Bears have set a standard to which all other Chicago teams are judged, they have raised the bar on how you measure excellence. Since 1985 the Bears haven't been able to reach that high peak, but now they are starting to see glimpses of possible greatness to come. Only time will tell, if these new look bears will ever reach greatness of the Glory team of 85.
