1985 NFC Championship - Rams @ Bears

I was at the game with my best friend Jim. We were able to get the tickets at face value from a co-worker. We were just 21, we were offered $500 each outside of Soldier Field. We looked at each other and I remember saying this is a once in a lifetime. Back then we did not know it may be the best time of our life. It was cold and windy and even a little light snow, but that day we did not care we were so fortunate to be there as the Bears went on to beat the Patriots in their next game to win the super bowl. I became emotional watching this...by far the best Bears team ever. I still have the ticket in a photo album in my basement. Thank you for posting...I have lost family members, friends (Jim) have moved away... RIP to all and John Madden, Pat Summerall.

Pat Summerall and John Madden were the greatest team of sports announcers in broadcast history for any sport. Their passing has been a terrible loss to all us fans who followed their careers. God Bless both of those gentlemen. And that 1985 Bear team sure does bring back many memories for those of us Bear fans who never dreamed we would ever see the Chicago Bears win a Super Bowl. God Bless all of them.

No matter what anyone tells you, that Bear defense is the best there was or ever will be. They were relentless.

This game is forever etched into my soul. The dominating defense, the snow coming down at the end of game and knowing that our first Super Bowl was two weeks away.

I can't watch the current NFL games anymore so I will travel back in time to relive what football used to be... Thanks, Bart, for providing these great NFL games for all to enjoy!

The 1985 Chicago Bears had two shutouts in one postseason. It is still a remarkable feat to this day.

Pat Summerall was the master of the understatement. That's the way play by play should be done. He was the best.

Damn...this brings back memories when the Bears were a football team. So good to hear Madden again. He too is truly missed!

Man this broadcast duo is just greatness personified. Wow wow wow

Man there will never be another Jon Madden and Pat Summeral. So iconic.

Still get the chills watching these and having grown up in Chicago as a kid in the 80s. Greatest group of characters that had characters. Relentless defense, and they took so much pride in it. It’s the bar all defenses are measured up to

RIP to Pat Summerall and RIP to John Madden. Legendary!!!

This is the best CBS NFL Broadcast ever. The great comment lines by Pat Summerall and John Madden are CLASSIC. They are missed greatly and i loved their wonderful well delivered broadcasts. No one can match their quality and perfection

I was one of the 40k-plus people there for both the Giants game AND ‘this game in the South end zone. When it started snowing, we were cheering because it was George Halas celebrating with all of us. My friend whom I went to both of the games with, passed away very young. I have tears in my eyes now. Thanks Bart!

This just popped up on my recommended. So good to listen to Pat and John again.

As a UK teenager in the 80s I became a Bears fan mainly because of Sweetness. He was something else. We used to watch the Channel 4 programme on Sunday evenings for our weekly fix back then. At the time I had no idea of how special that defense was. Looking back now with this wonderful footage you can see that they took no prisoners and must have scared the shit out of every quarterback they faced. It was a travesty that the Dolphins prevented them from a clean sweep that year, I remember the highlights of that game when Marino had a blinder and the luck was with them. The only blot on an otherwise immense season. Good times.

Greatest Defense Ever. Greatest Season Ever. Greatest Single Season in History. Multiple Recods set, many still stand. I would have a very difficult time trying to accurately explain how popular and transcendent these 1985 Bears were!

I’m not a Bears fan (Panthers) but this defense will ALWAYS be the best. The 2000 Ravens are second, but they didn’t go 15-1 AND shut out 2 teams in the playoffs. This defense is LEGENDARY!

WOW!!! Bears,what a team. Also Madden and Summerall are great! I am watching a game played 37 years ago and i don't want to miss a play! That's Football!!!

Some of you may have noticed Jeff Fisher standing next to Buddy Ryan in street clothes. He looks a little different with the full beard and longer hair. Fisher was a backup safety on that team since 1981. He broke his leg returning a punt and because he was a bright guy who had always played for Buddy Ryan they decided to use him to help the coaching staff. Of course Fisher would go on to be Buddy's secondary coach for the Eagles and later his DC. Then he would be a head coach for 21 years most of that for my Tennessee Titans. An interesting anecdote is that the guy who tackled him and caused his broken leg was Bill Cowher the hall of fame coach for the steelers.
