40 Years Ago Today
November 17, 1985
"44-0"
The #Bears run their record to 11-0 by handing the #Cowboys their worst loss in franchise history β 44-0 at Texas Stadium.
The win clinches the NFC Central crown β Chicago's first division title in 22 years. It also is the first time that Mike Ditka defeats his mentor Tom Landry in a head-to-head coaching matchup.
#DaBears' "46" defense completely dominates the contest β two defensive touchdowns, six sacks (and numerous hurries), five takeaways, and a mere 171 yards allowed.
It is the first time Dallas is held scoreless since 1970, and only the second time ever.
With his sonβs mom out of town, this man took his son to school and later surprised him at his school's Thanksgiving lunch. When the son saw his dad, he jumped into his arms, thrilled, introducing him to everyone. This healed parts of this dadβs heart, growing up without his dad, despite his grandpa's presence, left him broken. He moved to Tennessee where he had no one to be there for his son. Dads, be present; it makes all the difference.π₯Ίβ€οΈ.
