History of the Bears

The Chicago Bears are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history, with a rich tradition and an impressive record of success. Since their founding in 1920, the Bears have won eight NFL championships (including Super Bowls XXI and XXVI) and hold the second-most regular-season wins among all teams since 1970. The team has also produced some legendary players over its long tenure, including Hall of Famers such as Dick Butkus, Walter Payton, Gale Sayers, and Mike Ditka.

The early years for the Bears were marked by great success on both sides of the ball. Led by George Halas (also known as “Papa Bear”), who served as head coach from 1919-1967 before becoming owner/chairman until his death in 1983 at age 88 – they captured four league titles between 1921-1946 while playing at Wrigley Field through 1970 when they moved to Soldier Field where they remain today. The 1940s were particularly successful for them under Halas’ leadership; winning three division titles between 1941–43 then again capturing another championship title during the 1946 season led by future Hall Famer quarterback Sid Luckman throwing 28 touchdowns en route to victory over Washington Redskins 41–21 on December 15th that year!

During this era defensive end, Doug Atkins was voted All-Pro seven times while linebacker Bill George made nine Pro Bowl appearances – setting a standard that would be hard-pressed to match even today's modern game standards! In 1963 running back Larry Morris became the first player ever selected from the University Georgia Bulldogs program when he joined the ranks with the Chicago franchise but it wasn't until the 1985 arrival of Mike Ditka did things really start to turn around after several losing seasons prior decade or so... Under guidance, the new head coach/GM combo team quickly returned to glory days culminating in the '86 Superbowl win against New England Patriots 46–10 which remains the largest margin victory in any big game history!
