The 1985 Bears set a standard for success which hasn''t been matched in the past quarter century. The Monsters of the Midway did not only demolish the New England Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX, they dominated the NFL that season the way few teams have in the history of the sport. The Bears finished the regular season with a gleaming 15-1 record, perfect but for a slip-up on Dec. 2 in Miami. In a span of three games in November, the Bears defeated Detroit, Dallas, and Atlanta by a combined score of 104-3. In Reflections on the 1985 Bears, fans get a revealing look at Chicago''s last Super Bowl champion through the eyes of the team''s head coach. Coach Ditka vividly describes the emotion, humor, and inner turmoil of his team from quarterback Jim McMahon''s arrival in training camp with a Mohawk haircut through the team''s hit single, The Super Bowl Shuffle through their eventual Super Bowl triumph in New Orleans.
