🏈On September 8, 1985 the Chicago Bears started off their memorable 1985 season with a 38-28 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Soldier Field. The Bears defense seemed lost for much of the first half of the game by allowing 28 points, and trailed 28–17 at halftime, but the offense was able to lead the Bears to a victory after a big 2nd half. The Bears' defense would go on to be ranked first in the league and would only allow 198 total points (an average of 12.4 points per game). Leslie Frazie
