Jerry Rice's First Career Start Comes Against the '85 Bears! (Bears vs. 49ers 1985, Week 6)

[@johnliberty3647]

I forgot how great Payton was. Not just running, dude took blocking assignments seriously. Hell of a football player

[@brianreid4567]

Lot of hall of famers in this game

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

To make your 1st career start against the 85 Bears is the NFL equivalent of baptism by fire

[@mariosnum1fan]

Throwback should do a video of legends playing their first start against a good or elite team. Like revis in 2007 against the 16-0 pats for example

Great upload. The Bears were out for revenge in this one

Especially after Bill Walsh put in Guy McIntyre as a fullback at the end of the 1984 NFC Championship Game.

[@jackjohnson5714]

1984 49ers and 1985 Bears are in my top ten greatest teams all-time... so cool that they (in large) got to meet in 1985.

Mike Ditka was arrested for a DUI after this game. Jim McMahon was driving by when the police handcuffed Coach Ditka.

[@eddisonfoncette9103]

This was our game of the week on Channel four here in the UK I remember it like it was yesterday that Bears front 7 was terrifying. Can't believe it's practically 40 years ago, , HB, FB, RB were king not expendable, the strike zone was the whole body , a good PK range was about 40 YDS, how the game has changed. Go Hawks

[@Ginga]

I always rush to these Throwback games with the 80s 9ers. Love seeing random Ronnie Lott plays that NFL Films never shows in his career highlights.

[@davidjackson2690]

Me too!

[@cbod14]

The Bears were still mad from not only losing The NFC Title game the previous January but what they perceived rubbing their noses in it by having Guy Mcintyre line up in the backfield late in the game as a fullback. That is where the idea of putting William Perry in the backfield came from.

[@sports3117]

The ‘85 Bears were dominant with a ferocious defense and a great running back like Walter Payton. Jim McMahon was basically a quiet wildcard

[@FanOfDaUnderAppreciated]

Bears fans from that era would say a lot of words come to mind when describing McMahon... quiet was not one of them. The first half of the season until he got injured and sat out a few games, he was spectacular. He was also one of the most outspoken, outrageous members of an outspoken, outrageous team. Anyone that actually watched this season unfold would know this.

[@broncosbreaks]

To be able to have watched Montana vs payton would’ve been awesome! I was only 2. Anybody that got to watch these two live must feel blessed

[@DaVictonator]

Man I am a huge Bears fan but they have sucked throughout my life, I wish there was a Bears team that amazing in my lifetime

[@timtate4105]

I have seen the full game of this and I didn't know this was Jerry Rice's first start

[@vinylvishrecords]

At the end I noticed The Refrigerator William Perry run the ball twice, and it had me thinking, so I did a little research and this was his rookie year, also it was his first time ever running the ball. The following week, he scored his famous first rushing TD on Monday Night Football

[@jimringomartin]

True. The Fridge was payback for 1984 when 49ERS ran a lineman at the end of the game. Walsh said in an interview "I don't think he (Fridge) has much of a future there)..😂

[@johnliberty3647]

I believe the 49ers just used a Tackle as a blocking back and it pissed Ditka off. Maybe it was Bubba Paris but not sure. I just know the OL guy playing fullback was large for a lineman at the time.

[@chizzyschwartz1528]

These 80s bears are completely underrated... If they stayed together and stayed in tact they would have been a dynasty... Alot of people think they were a 1 and done team ..true in a sense but they never had everyone on board except for 1985... They went to 3 NFC championships in the 80s and were full stength once . We saw what happened in 85'

[@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf]

McMahon was pretty good but inconsistent QB play kept them from being a dynasty

[@stevendavis1733]

Losing Buddy Ryan and Wibur Marshall really hurt. Plus, with McMahon constantly hurt, really kept them from repeating

[@jackjohnson5714]

12:11 Have never seen a running back pump fake before... sick move from Sweetness

[@trevorhembrough1290]

They ran HB option with Walter at least once a game. It was a legit bite because Walter WOULD have gunned it if he saw someone open up behind the defense.

[@davidgilbert3821]

Da bears 🐻

[@GIANTLEAPPROJECT]

On here from yesterday's loss to remind me why I'm a bears fan

[@chadog900]

Due to that 49ers childish Angus formation in the 1984 NFC Championship game, Bears retaliated with Fridge Perry getting his first career carries, which led to his Super Bowl TD that should have been Walters, which strained his relationship with Ditka.

What happened to the video quality of the latest installments from the 80s on this channel? 360p? The 86 Pats-Rams, 85 Dolphins-Broncos, 84 Dolphins-Chargers, and this video would've been fantastic, but the quality is so poor. Other previous games on this channel from the 80s were in at least 720p. What happened? I was excited to watch these, but the quality is horrendous.

[@fitcwebb]

A costly fumble by Wendell Tyler. Shocker. It was like the guy was out there playing with ArmorAll on his hands. Only a matter of a short time, before the ball would come squirting out

[@StevenHunterPangians1]

[@berge7f91]

The Niners beat themselves in this game. It seemed nearly every play in which they gained yards was called back due to penalties. The Bears passing offense came to play this game unlike the 1984 Championship Game ten months prior. McMahon got Willie Gault isolated on backup Tory Nixon for a big gain on the opening series. It was also the biggest game in the career of Tim Wrightman who made 3 critical catches for 56 yards.
