Victory Over Steelers Among Lovie's Best

#1 Bears 24, Cardinals 23

Oct. 16, 2006, University of Phoenix Stadium

The Bears committed six turnovers and scored three points on offense, yet they found a way to overcome a 20-point halftime deficit and announce to a "Monday Night Football" audience this would be a special season in Chicago. No game epitomized the refuse-to-lose mindset of the '06 Bears than this one. Dennis Green was right but for the wrong reasons: The Bears are who we thought they were.

Defining play: Somehow, Devin Hester returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown with 2 minutes, 58 seconds left to give the Bears a lead nobody thought was possible.

That was a very good read. I remember all five of those games very well.

 

Yes indeed!!
Beating the superbowl champs is one of my favorties too, especially when it's the Steelers. :applausec:

 

Yeah, I loved all those games but can't argue with #1.

"The Bears are who we thought they were and we let em off the hook! Now if you want to crown them, then crown their ass!"

Classic Dennis Green, lol!

 

Yes I remember that game well. Green was soooo pissed. LOL

 

If we turn out to be 4-12, This needs to be edited :rollinglaugh:

 

I would be pissed too if I were Green. Up 23-3 damn near the end of the 3rd quarter before Mark Anderson strips the ball from Matt Leinart's hands for Mike Brown to pick up in the end zone for a TD.

 

Don't forget the strip by BU54 also!!

 

Yup, on Edgerrin James.... Denny Green challenged that but failed.
