Chicago Bears: Ranking the Biggest Wins in Franchise History

The Chicago Bears have a long and storied history. Heck, “Papa Bear” George Halas founded pro football in 1920 and charged each team $100 for membership.
Along the way, they have accumulated 704 regular-season and 18 postseason victories. Included as part of those totals are nine championships and one Super Bowl win.
This franchise started in 1920 as the Decatur Staleys of the American Professional Football Association. The following year, they became the Chicago Staleys, and since the present day National Football League (NFL) started in 1922, they have been known as the Chicago Bears.
But no matter what you call them — “Monsters of the Midway”; “Da Bears”; “Pride and Joy of Illinois”—the navy blue and Pantone 1665 jerseys represent a lot of history.
Trying to assimilate all those years and sum up the best wins is a daunting task, to be sure. But trying to rank them is downright ridiculous.
Yet that’s exactly what I’ve done here, so feel free to let me know where you disagree, or to simply share stories of how you’ve basked in the glory that is our Chicago Bears.
