They had in-your-face personalities. They boasted Hall of Fame-caliber players. But most importantly, the whole was greater than the sum of its parts. Chicago dominated opponents like few others. The Bears offense was a reflection of their hard-nosed head coach, Mike Ditka. First and foremost, Ditka liked to establish the run, with Walter Payton rushing for 1,551 yards on 324 carries. Still, the coach could be creative, too. He occasionally used a 300-pound rookie named William "Refrigerator" Perry at the goal line, to the delight of teammates and fans alike. Perry was also a part of Chicago's "46 Defense", which is widely considered the best in league history. The scheme -- designed by defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan -- so overwhelmed opponents a world title seemed inevitable. And it was. Chicago lost just one game prior to reaching Super Bowl XX, where it whipped the New England Patriots for their first NFL championship since 1963. Join NFL Films as they retell the story of the '85 Bears, a team as popular as they were dominant. | | | Features: | |

 One of NFL Films best works!Nov 22, 2008
By basicblur
Not much of a football fan myself (although I'll watch a good rivalry), but darn if I didn't catch myself watching the top 20 Countdown of the America's Game series a couple years back (the back stories and personality profiles are great).
NFL Network counted down the top 20 Super Bowl teams, and the 1985 Chicago Bears was rated #2. Out of the 20 I watched, I'd rank this DVD as #1 in the series (I'd also rank the 85 Bears first). NFL Films does great work, and this DVD shows `em at their best-great music, great video, and the shot (and music) of Walter Payton sitting on the bench by himself with his head in his hands at his last game will tug on your heartstrings!
I'd recommend watching this DVD first, then getting your hands on the Pure Payton DVD (DVD is available only in the book Payton).
Both are highly recommended, even if you aren't a football fan-my 75-year-old mom couldn't care less about football, and she loved it!
If you know someone who's a football and/or Bears fan, this would make a great Christmas gift.

I Love This DVDMay 22, 2010
By Mike
I have been shopping on Amazon for years and this is the 1st review I have written. Reason why? I love this DVD on the 85 Bears and would recommend it to anyone who would listen. The extras were almost as good as the body of the video. If you are a football geek like I am, you'll love this DVD.

Da Bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Apr 02, 2011
By Richard Montgomery
What a magical season. The "fridge", the "punky QB", "Sweetnes," the "barking defense", Da Coach are all part of this wonderful team. The video captures the feeling of that special season. Probably the greatest team and greatest season is all highlighted here. I highly recommend this video, especially to bears fans young and old.

Da BearsSep 05, 2010
By W. Indelli
A very good production of the Bears' Super Bowl Year. It provides some insight into the relationships of various team members including Jim McMahon and Mike Ditka. The commentary by Mike Singletary is also very good. You will enjoy many of the scenes from that great Super Bowl year.
