Dick Butkus’ image was ubiquitous in Soldier Field as the Bears celebrated his life and career throughout the game. Butkus died Oct. 5 at 80.
Players wore a No. 51 patch on their jerseys, which they’ll do the rest of the season, and the Bears painted a No. 51 graphic on their sideline near the north end zone.
The team also set up a Butkus memorial inside the south entrance to the stadium that included his Hall of Fame bust, had various other memorabilia throughout the concourse and showed a video tribute during the first quarter.
