The comparisons to Singletary and the 16-0 team are bound to continue as the Chicago Bears won one of the most impressive defense-led come-from-behind victories in NFL history on Monday Night Football.
The fact that they won a game coming from a 20 point second half deficit is only made more remarkable by the fact that the offense was anemic, bordering on pathetic with 6 turnovers. I only hope that the New Oxford Dictionary puts a photo of the Arizona Cardinals in its next edition under the definition of "choke".
UPDATE and CORRECTION: A reader who knows more about football than I do wrote, "Bears never went 16-0. They lost to Miami 38-24. Ironically the Dolphins are the only NFL team to have ever had an unbeaten season. But one hell of a game last night."
He's right, given all the comparisons to "Da Bears" 1985 Superbowl XX winning team and the chatter about the 2006 Bears going undefeated, I stand corrected - they were 15-1. But wasn't Urlacher an animal in the 4th quarter?
