Super Bowl XX was played on Jan. 26, 1986, at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Chicago Bears, champions of the NFC, faced off against the New England Patriots, champions of the AFC.
Super Bowl XX featured Mike Ditka coaching the Chicago Bears and Raymond Berry coaching the New England Patriots. This was the fourth and currently last time that two opposing teams were making Super Bowl debuts.
The Bears had one of the greatest seasons in NFL history, finishing 15-1. They won their division and then defeated the New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers to advance to the Super Bowl. Quarterback Jim McMahon led the offense, and the defense was led by defensive end Richard Dent, who was named the Super Bowl MVP. The famous "46 Defense" was conducted by defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan.
The Patriots, 11-5, won their division and then defeated the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins in the playoffs. Quarterback Tony Eason led the team's offense, and the defense was solid, led by defensive end Andre Tippett.
The game was a one-sided affair, with the Bears always in control. The Bears defense sacked Eason and Steve Grogan seven times and intercepted Eason twice. The offense, led by McMahon and Walter Payton, controlled the game, as the Bears won 46-10.
Overall, Super Bowl XX was a coronation for the Bears. Chicago's defense is still talked about today as the greatest ever, and this was their crowning achievement.
