Steve McMichael eyes the quarterback during a game against the Steelers on Dec. 13, 1992, at Soldier Field. The Bears won 30-6.

You know a segment lands when the studio cast is emotional when returning to the air.

That’s what happened during ESPN’s “Postseason NFL Countdown” on Sunday before Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. The show aired a 10-minute segment on former Bears defensive tackle Steve McMichael and his quest for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame while battling ALS. On Thursday, the NFL announced that McMichael is part of the 2024 class.
