Pat O'Donnell and Benny Cunningham combined to produce one of the Bears' most memorable plays of the season, a 38-yard touchdown pass on a fake punt against the Vikings. But that's not the only bond the two teammates share.
Both players will don special shoes Sunday when the Bears host the San Francisco 49ers at Soldier Field to honor their fathers who passed away due to cancer. They will be among more than 30 Bears players participating in a league-wide "My Cause My Cleats" initiative this weekend.
O'Donnell's shoes will pay tribute to the Cleveland Clinic in South Florida, the facility where his father received treatment for colon cancer.
