The '85 Bears didn't just win—they became a cultural earthquake in shoulder pads.
Now all Chicago football fans can relive the sensational championship season of 1985 with the definitive, full-length story of the Bears' trip down the Glory Road. "World Champions" traces the entire season from the opening day kickoff right through to the Bears' Super Bowl triumph that made the new "Monsters of the Midway" kings of the pro football world. In addition to the all action from the regular season and playoff games, the stories of the men who made the Bears champions will also be chronicles with features of Walter Payton, Mike Ditka, the powerful Chicago defence and of course, William "The Refrigerator" Perry. Also included will be a look back to the 1963 Bears, the last Chicago team to win an NFL Crown. It's all here - the glorious 1985 season - the year the Chicago Bears could once again call themselves "World Champions".
