The Chicago Bears have a storied history, including two Super Bowl appearances. Their first, Super Bowl XX on January 26, 1986, resulted in a decisive 46-10 victory over the New England Patriots. This game is particularly memorable for the Bears’ dominant defense and the unique touchdown run by defensive tackle William “Refrigerator” Perry.
The Bears’ second Super Bowl appearance was in Super Bowl XLI on February 4, 2007, where they faced the Indianapolis Colts. Despite a strong start, including a record-breaking opening kickoff return for a touchdown by Devin Hester, the Bears were defeated 29-17.
In terms of playoff appearances, the Bears have a rich history, with 17 playoff wins and 20 losses. They have secured nine NFL championships, including their Super Bowl victory.
As of February 2025, the Bears are in the process of rebuilding, with recent changes in their coaching staff aimed at revitalizing the team. Notably, Ben Johnson has agreed to become the Bears’ head coach, moving from his role as the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator.
