For the 1985 Bears, the days leading up to Super Bowl XX were nearly as interesting and eventful as the game itself, a 46-10 thrashing of the New England Patriots.
The storylines included a key injury to one of the Bears' most important players, a bomb threat at the team hotel and a future Hall of Famer threatening not to play in the game because of a contract dispute.
The story that received the most attention during the week in New Orleans involved Jim McMahon's rear end. The Bears quarterback had suffered a deep bruise when hit by Los Angeles Rams defensive end Doug Reed in the NFC Championship Game.
