New England quarterback Steve Grogan barely got this pass over the arms of Bears defensive tackle Dan Hampton.
Before actually playing in the game, a bunch of Bears recorded an excruciating novelty rap single, The Super Bowl Shuffle. Thankfully, they exhibited their real talent on the field. New England could only manage seven rushing yards for the game and 123 total yards against the Bears' magnificent defense. Massive, 320-pound defensive tackle William "The Refrigerator" Perry showed terrific mobility for a kitchen appliance when he ran for a one-yard touchdown. Mike Ditka became the first coach in NFL history to play for (see Super Bowl VI) and coach a Super Bowl winner.

The Chicago Bears won their first NFL Championship since 1963 by setting a Super Bowl-record for points scored in defeating the Patriots 46-10. The NFC Champions, who won by the largest margain in Super Bowl history, broke the old record for points in a game set by San Francisco and the Los Angeles Raiders in the previous two Super Bowls.

THE PATRIOTS CAPITALIZED ON A CHICAGO FUMBLE to score the quickest points in Super Bowl history on Tony Franklin's field goal. Chicago then scored 44 unanswered points to put the game out of reach.

The Bears defense, which allowed only 10 points in post-season play, held New England to seven yards rushing and 116 yards passing.

Jim McMahon, who passed for 256 yards, became the first quarterback to rush for two touchdowns.

Richard Dent, who contributed 1½ sacks, was named the Most Valuable Player.
