Chicago Bears 1979: A Game-by-Game Guide
Relive the Chicago Bears' memorable 1979 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the opening day battle with the Packers to the improbable charge into the NFC playoffs, as told in the newspaper accounts of the day.
The incomparable Walter Payton and a stout defense had the Bears in position for a playoff berth going into Week 16, but the odds were still heavily stacked against the Monsters of the Midway. But Chicago pulled off the unthinkable when it demolished the Cardinals and saw the Redskins lose to Dallas, thereby putting the Bears in the postseason thanks to the point-differential tiebreaker. Yes, it was one of those wacky seasons for the Bears, and there were many highlights along the way, including another NFL rushing title for "Sweetness" Payton, a second-half surge that saw Chicago win seven of its last eight games and of course that memorable romp over the Cardinals.
All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Neill Armstrong's squad as it added to Chicago's rich football legacy with a season no Bears fan could forget.
Whether you are a die-hard Bears fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1979 Chicago Bears.
