Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman is set to receive the Ed Block Courage Award in Baltimore, March 2007. Grossman will be honored at the awards dinner in Baltimore and later by the Bears April 3 at Maryville Academy in Des Plaines. The much-coveted award is presented to a single player from all 32 NFL teams who exhibits an outstanding commitment to sportsmanship and courage and provides momentum to his team off the field. Grossman was voted NFC Offensive Player of the Month in September as he made a massive contribution to the Bears Super Bowl campaign - the first time they had qualified in 21 years. Grossman is set to become a football legend, and the toast of Soldier Field, the Chicago Bears stadium. Grossman is at the pinnacle of his football career, and stands proudly at the top of the Bears' roster, his recent heroic Super Bowl performance fresh in the minds of Bears fans everywhere.

The Chicago Bears were a pleasant surprise in 2005, winning the NFC North with an 11-5 record which earned head coach Lovie Smith NFL coach of the year honors. The offense, hampered by injuries, most notably to quarterback Rex Grossman, forced rookie Kyle Orton to start the majority of the season. While Orton didn’t excel, he didn't suffer the amount of mistakes most rookies do. He managed many games very well behind a terrific offensive line and the running of Thomas Jones. Defensively, the Chicago Bears defense could be summed up into one word, terrific. The defense allowing the fewest points in the NFL and made running the ball for each opponent nearly impossible.

Brian Urlacher and the Chicago Bears had Adrian Peterson all bottled up, at least until it really counted. Peterson's 8-yard touchdown run, started by a shoulder-shake to fake Urlacher at the line of scrimmage, sent the Minnesota Vikings to their fifth straight victory, 20-13 over the Bears on Monday night

For a team that posted a 13-3 regular-season record, the Chicago Bears didn't have a lot of believers supporting them heading into the playoffs. Many of their own fans seemed to be reserved in their expectations for the postseason. But with a convincing 39-14 win over the New Orleans Saints, the Bears suddenly find themselves representing the NFC in Super Bowl XLI.

The 1940 Chicago Bears team holds the record for the biggest margin of victory in an NFL game (playoff or regular season) with a 73–0 victory over the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL Championship Game. The largest home victory for the Bears came in a 61–7 result against the Green Bay Packers in 1980. The largest defeat in club history was a 52-0 loss against the Baltimore Colts in 1964. The club recorded undefeated regular seasons in 1934 and 1942, but (unlike the 1972 Dolphins) did not win the championship game in either season. In 1934, the club completed a 13–0 record but were defeated by the New York Giants, and in 1942 the club completed an 11–0 record but were defeated by the Redskins. Had the Bears won either championship, the club would have completed a championship three-peat – a feat completed only by the Packers (twice), although no team has done it since the AFL-NFL merger.[58] Halas holds the team record for coaching the most seasons with 40 and for having the most career victories of 324.
