Miami’s Surprise for the Bears

Okay, I’ll admit it now. I was a little surprised myself that our Dolphins were the ones to snap the Bears’ perfect record. Plus, we did it at Soldier Field. I don’t think the Bears ever truly believed they would achieve what has only been done once in NFL history – a perfect unbeaten season. (Let’s see, what team was that? Oh, yeah, the Miami Dolphins.) But lots of Chicago fans figured it would happen on the road, say, visiting the New York Giants or New England Patriots.

It almost always feels better to win rather than lose, but this was extra good because it was unexpected, and because the Dolphins now get a few days without being analyzed to death about why their season has not gotten off the ground until now.
