Gridiron Glory: The 1985 Chicago Bears Story is the definitive narrative of one of the most iconic teams in NFL history. With a blend of muscle, music, and mayhem, the '85 Bears captured the heart of a city and the imagination of a nation. This is the complete, richly detailed chronicle of their rise-from the franchise's late-1970s struggles to the explosive arrival of Mike Ditka, the genius of Buddy Ryan's 46 Defense, and the unforgettable championship season that followed.
Through interviews, game-by-game accounts, and vivid portraits of legends like Walter Payton, Jim McMahon, Mike Singletary, and William "The Refrigerator" Perry, this book reveals not just how they won-but why they mattered. It also traces the team's aftermath, from Hall of Fame legacies to enduring cultural resonance.
Packed with passion, personality, and grit, Gridiron Glory isn't just about football. It's about identity, memory, and the team that time never touched.
