The long-standing Bears-Packers rivalry boiled over at Lambeau Field in 1985, when the middling Packers under Forrest Gregg took particular umbrage at the Mike Ditka-fueled Bears’ brash in-your-face style as they became the scourge of the NFL.
After bad feelings were stoked in the Bears’ 23-7 victory over the Packers at Soldier Field on Oct. 21, 1985 — “Remember this game,” Gregg told his team afterward — the rematch 13 days later at Lambeau quickly degenerated into a series of cheap shots, penalties and altercations.
Packers rookie cornerback Ken Stills leveled Matt Suhey well after the whistle.
