Chicago Bears Team History

Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears were founded in 1920 and are now one of only two original NFL teams still playing, the other being the Arizona Cardinals. The Bears were actually started in Decatur, Illinois but moved to Chicago in 1921.

Since then the Bears have become one of the most iconic and successful teams in the NFL. The Bears hold the record for most Hall of Fame players and the most retired jersey numbers.

The franchise has won one Super Bowl which they earned by defeating the New England Patriots in 1985 and they’ve also won four conference championships, 21 division titles, and made 26 total playoff appearances.

The 1985 season was the best in franchise history, as the team boasted arguably the greatest defense in NFL history and won their only Super Bowl title after steamrolling the New England Patriots 46-10. In 2020, the Bears will be celebrating their 101st season.

The franchise’s most recognizable players include Walter Payton, William Perry, Brian Urlacher, and Jim McMahon.
