like the 1985 Chicago Bears.

Jim McMahon missed the last 4 games and the playoff loss to the Redskins because Charles Martin of the Packers had bodyslammed a month earlier.
86 Bears went 14-2 and broke the NFL record for fewest points allowed in a 16 game season (since broken). They made the playoffs in 87 & made the NFC Championship in 88. It's not like the Bears fell into obscurity after 85.

My point is that they never won another. The Cowboys won what, three of four in the early 90s? The same thing with the Patriots in this decade. And yet by most objective observer's assessment the 1985 Bears were >>>>> any of the six teams that New England or Dallas fielded. It's a shame they have but one title to show for it.
