Halas to Mack: Chicago Bears History - Sweetness 70s Jun 09, 2020

Let's be honest for a minute - the 1970s were not a great time to be a fan of Bears football if you liked winning games. However, that doesn't mean that they weren't entertaining and lacked great players. A Defensive Player of the Year and a League MVP earn honors in this decade despite the Bears going through 4 different head coaches and their worst record by decade ever. Join Jeff and Matt as they talk Walter Payton, Doug Buffone, Wally Chambers, Jim Osborne, Gary Fencik, and other fun, interesting players from the decade.
