To this day this win is still one of my personal top Redskins wins. After the 84 playoff upset. After the 85 regular season humiliation. After two years of endless hype about the Bears. To go into Soldier Field in January against that team and really put a methodical beating on them was a source of pride only rivaled by Super Bowl wins. Hail to those Redskins
As a 12 year old Bear's fan, this loss brought me to tears. Redskins played great. Those Bear's teams were plagued by the fact that McMahon was injured all the time. I love Flutie but he was in over his head this early in his career.

The Hogs played brilliantly and credit Bugel and Gibbs for developing a blocking scheme for this game which totally negated the vaunted Bears' defense and their blitzing packages.
This was like a Super Bowl victory. The allegedly unbeatable Bears at Soldier Field, and Chicago led at halftime. Joe Gibbs was the best. Washington played with tremendous heart in those days. It's never been the same since.
Has the Giants fan I'm so glad that the Redskins beat the bears that year football is a game of matchups I don't believe we would have beaten the bears in the NFC championship game
I remember watching this game at late grandparents house in Columbus Georgia on their cbs station WRBL Channel 3 on the same day the AFC divisional playoff game in Cleveland between the Jets and browns on January 3rd 1987
The play at the 19:16 mark is the exact same formation and initial post-snap movement the Skins used on Riggins TD run in SB XVII. Here though they fool Chicago with a QB keeper. Brilliant
Redskins learned how to handle the blitz, and beat a better team. The Bears would have beaten Phil Simms and the giants because Phil had no clue how to handle the blitz. And what happens in the Super Bowl? The big Orange rush 3 men all day and Phil has the best game of his life.
Yep, this day was the pinnacle of his NFL career. Lawrence Taylor and the Giants contained him the next week and he stumbled and bumbled through the 87 season before being dumped. But on this day, he won the hearts of Skins fans.
Gibbs was really good at putting together game plans to beat high power teams , the 85 bears had a really good offense with speed and scored thats why that defense looked so good and was so overrated , Gibbs did the same thing with the buffalo bills years later
After the 1985 loss to the Bears, the Redskins would beat the Bears in 86 and 87 divisional round. 89,90, and 91 regular season games. Other than 1988, the Bears couldn't beat the Redskins.

Hail, to the Redskins! Hail, Victory! Braves, on the Warpath! Fight! For old D.C! Run or pass and score we want a lot more! Beat ’em swamp ’em touchdown let the points soar! Fight on, fight on, till you have won Sons of Wash-ing-ton, RAH! RAH! RAH! Hail, to the Redskins! Hail, Victory! Braves, on the Warpath! Fight! For old D.C!
Bears fan babies still claim to this day that Doug Flutie was the reason they lost, completely forgetting that the Redskins won there in the playoffs again the next year with McMahon at QB! The "vaunted" (hahahah) '85 Bears were One-And-Done because of the '86 and '87 Redskins!
I’m a Bears fan and the Bears simply made way too many mistakes in this game. More so, the Redskins were the better team when it mattered in 86 and 87. It’s just the way it goes sometimes.
jus an absolute tragedy to the nfl jim mcmahon was never ever healthy... the skins. were good but lets all be honest they were not. beating the 85' bears and that's what they woulda been in 86' w. mac! 87' he played good till he got hurt but finished the game w a rag arm . had bears up 14-0 in 87' then got hit on a td pass
As a Bears fan, I was quite young, and remembered celebrating the year before with cake. I didn't know what "celebrate" meant, I thought it had something to do with cake. So I asked my mom if we could celebrate, and she asks, why would we do that? The Bears lost!
Bears played in a tit division in 1986. Packers, Lions, and Bucs COMBINED for 11 wins all year. The Vikings were a solid non-playoff 9-7 that year and the Bears split with them.
Yay! They beat Doug Flutie then in 1987 an injured Jim McMahon would of beat the Redskins had Darrell Green not ran a stupid punt ret. Back! Y'all forget 1984? 😂. The Bears with Steve Fuller beat Washington after they had just went to 2 Super Bowls in a row....a good team would of shut this QB out!
redskins and rest of nfl: thank you jim mcmahon for being hurt every year cuz u kicked the shit out of us.. redskins 45-10, giants 21-0, 49ers 26-10 on thevroad .. jus annoying to this day
Bears fans always throw Flutie under the bus for this loss, ignoring that the very next year they lost again with McMahon playing. Aside from '85 the Ditka Bears were in part a product of being in a bad division. Won only 2 more playoff games in seven chances. One of those was the Fog Bowl and the other was against an 8-8 Saints team.
Neal Anderson was a solid replacement for Payton and had some very good years. It seemed like the Bears could never develop a good passing game in those years of the late 80s and early 90s.
@@donnix1192 Haha. What dynasty? The Bears were thwarted in consecutive seasons in elimination games by the Redskins. The 49’ers merely added to your agony.
What stopped a Bears dynasty was the Bears not being good enough. After their lone Super Bowl win the Ditka Bears went 2-5 in the post season. They went 1-4 against the 49ers and 1-5 against the Redskins the rest of the way. They were the 4th best NFC organization of '81-'92.
Bears defense was dominated in the 2nd half. Something else that was telling, after the Manley hit on Flutie not one Bers player stuck up for Flutie. That’s fucked up

There also was an 1988 bears beat down of the Redskins 38-14, then the Redskins won in 1989 34-14

My lasting memory of this game was Joe Jacoby playing with a broken hand which the announcer said was protected by a bowl of some sort.
One of the greatest o-lineman of all time. The NFL hof is a joke.
Darrell Green was something else...
Just pure speed and heart.

Great day for the Hogs, particularly Jacoby and Grimm who played through injury against the No. 1 ranked defense in the NFL.

Never forget this win in Chicago!! and again In 87!!!payback for 84!! Incredible!!

Yessssirrrr, Classic Game!! #HTTR
If I remember correctly, this game was Gibbs' 70th win as Redskins coach and made him the winningest coach in Redskins history. HTTR!

Bad call on Richardson which led to the Redskins 3rd TD.
Maybe one of the biggest road wins in Redskins history.

Bears didn’t lose to the Redskins in 1985

Who said they did?
I think talent-wise, they were pretty close in those years, but Gibbs outcoached Ditka.
@@brianstupar7433
The Redskins had great receivers. Chicago never did.
You do not mention the Bears stunning the Redskins at RFK stadium in the 1984 divisional playoff. Conveniently I might add.
Joe Gibbs was studying the Bears for at least a year.
Al Bundy was in attendance

GREAT GAME for Art Monk and Defense. NICE to see it again.
Payton has always been a lose ball carrier, he never tucks the ball into his body

Mike Ditka being conservative on a long 3rd and goal from the 2.
Hey Retro. Do the game that we won, were Manley spit in the guys face. I can't remember who we played. Help me out. Manley at his best as a beast...

Art Monk is possibly my favorite football player of all time, but I still think that pass interference call on the Bears at 20:48 is stupid.

Redskins, 49ers and Giants were strong and balanced teams. The Bears lacked receivers and consistent QB play.

After that one Super Bowl the Bears got soft like Rocky did in Rocky III. Unlike Rocky in that movie they never recovered.
