Super Bowl XX
Super Bowl XX
Chicago 46, New England 10
MVP: DE Richard Dent, Chicago
January 26, 1986
New Orleans, Louisiana; Louisiana Superdome
Attendance: 73,818

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.
