One of the NFL's most storied franchises, the Chicago Bears are a family-owned operation that's been run by the Halas family since Day One. While the team has only one Super Bowl victory to their credit, Super Bowl XX, it won numerous NFL championships prior to the AFL-NFL merger. The Super Bowl XX team will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time, featuring such luminaries as Walter Payton and Mike Singletary as well as unforgettable characters such as Jim McMahon, William "Refrigerator" Perry and "Da Coach" Mike Ditka. Luminous figures are a part of Bears tradition, with Red Grange, Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo figuring in the team's legend.
While the Eagles' failure to punch the ball into the end zone from the 1-yard line on three tries late in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears has been a major focus of attention this week, there also is concern about the continuing struggles of three-time Pro Bowl place-kicker David Akers.
