The 1985 Chicago Bears were cruising through the regular season and looked as if they could join the '72 Dolphins as the only two undefeated teams in NFL history. But in their week 13 matchup against the Dolphins, the Bears fell prey to Dan Marino and his superb passing attack. The Dolphins took the driver's seat early and never looked back, winning 38-24.

1985 was a great NFL season. Somehow, it's a travesty that Marino never got a ring. He's right up there with Tarkenton, Kelly, Fouts and many, many more that never won a championship. Dare I say that Marino is the greatest of all non championship quarterbacks and even is easily among the greatest of all.

@madcapper6 2 жыл бұрын

@@frandavis1990 Probably better than the vast majority of QBs who have won Super Bowls too. I never really bought into the ring argument when evaluating players anyway. They matter but aren't the be-all-end-all. When it's someone like Marino, gotta ask the question, did the Dolphins not win any SBs in spite of him or because of him? He never really had a running game to compliment him and every year, while the Killer B's were pretty good, they always ran into a team with a better defense, a better running game or both. His team was always outgunned in some way. I'd put Marino up there with the likes of Brady and Montana, no doubt about it.

Watching this game, the Bears would have clobbered Marino in the Super Bowl. 1. They sacked Marino three times in the first half, and he was on the run most of it. His quick release, and a third receiver, saved him. 2. The only flaw the Bears had all game was third and long. Dolphins running was meh, their short game was nonexistent, and they were very opportunistic. 3. By the second half, the Bears caused two turnovers in five minutes. Dolphins deserved this win, no questions asked, but this was a one time deal. Bears had a terrible backup QB who started during an unprecedented 107-3 streak in three games, and not only did he throw zero TDs in those games, but Ditka didn’t let him throw past five yards once they hit the opponent’s 30. Put McMahon in there and Bears win that game

The '85 Bears were quite possibly the greatest defense of all time...but watch Dwight Stephenson, the greatest center in the history of the NFL dominate the mighty Bears line. It is amazing, he played at 255 lbs and there are a couple of plays here where he threw the Fridge to the ground like a doll. He was known as one of the quietest, most unassuming men on the team, and he rarely got beat. Not many 8-year offensive linemen make the Hall of Fame, but he was a big exception.

@Matthew Donnelly You obviously have no clue how good the 85 Bears defense was. That was BY FAR the most dominant defense in the Super Bowl Era. Taking a 49er team that put up 55 on a Bronco defense that was severely outmatched, over that Bears defense.....no chance. Montana would've gotten pummeled, and he was much smaller than Marino. He was very fragile. No chance the 89 49ers beats the 85 Bears. Zero

They had a quick-release QB, small but fast receivers that could get open, and a decent offensive line. They exposed the Bears' defense only weakness - their secondary. They seized the momentum early and the Bears couldn't recover. When Clayton caught that lucky ball late in the game, my dad yelled "GOT DAMN!!!!" :)

@pomerlain8924 6 жыл бұрын

Marino was one of the few QBs during that period that could really expose the Bears defense. He made quick decisions, had quick release, and had receivers that could make plays in man coverage. The 46, as good as it was, depended on getting pressure on the QB. If you can't apply pressure, the 46 can't work. Dan was able to consistently get the ball out before the pressure could get there, and he exposed the Bears' CBs who were on an island in man coverage. And if the pressure couldn't get to him, his passes were going to be for big gains. I can see why Mike Ditka tried to tell Buddy to implement a zone defense at halftime. Do the Dolphins beat the Bears again if they get to the SB? Who knows. But they would have given the Bears a much tougher fight than the Pats. And if the Pats could have rushed for over 200 yards against the Dolphins defense, Sweetness would not have had to worry about being iced out.

Despite the hype, the mid 80s Bears had a weakness on the back end, that was revealed by Miami and the 49ers the preceding playoff.
