Buddy Ryan was a member of two Super Bowl-winning coaching staffs in his career -– the 1968 New York Jets in Super Bowl III as a defensive line coach and the 1985 Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XX as defensive coordinator.
His ’85 Bears defense will always be remembered as one of the best in NFL history.
Near-perfect regular season
Ryan devised the “46 Defense”, which helped the Bears post a 15-1 record during the 1985 regular season. Their only loss came on the road in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins.
