Last Wednesday the NFL began offering complimentary access to NFL Game Pass, providing fans the opportunity to re-watch complete games dating back to 2009 as well as award-winning NFL Films series such as "Hard Knocks" and "A Football Life."
In addition to that, fans now will also be able to watch select classic games on their favorite team's website, app and YouTube channel for free. The first game that has been made available for Bears fans to re-watch on the club's digital platforms is Super Bowl XX.
Played on Jan. 26, 1986 at the Louisiana Superdome, the famed 1985 Bears capped a magical season by dismantling the New England Patriots 46-10. The relentless Bears defense, which is still considered by many to be the greatest in NFL history, battered the overmatched Patriots, yielding just seven yards rushing, registering seven sacks and scoring on an interception return and a safety.
After Tony Franklin's 36-yard field goal gave New England a 3-0 lead, the Bears responded by scoring 44 unanswered points to set a record that has since been broken for the most lopsided victory in Super Bowl history.
The Patriots gained positive yards on just one of their first 15 plays. Eason was yanked in favor of veteran Steve Grogan after going 0 of 6 with three sacks. In the first half, New England had one first down, minus-five yards rushing and minus-14 yards passing.
"I'm not embarrassed," Patriots guard Ron Wooten said after the game. "I'm humiliated."
