Sixty-seven years ago today, the Chicago Bears set an all-time NFL record for the most lopsided win in league history when they shut out the Washington Redskins 73-0.
The final score can be included among those numbers that you most often remember in sports history. Like the Babe's 714, Gretzky's 802, Roger Maris's 61 and Jack Nicklaus's 18.
The Bears, showcasing their new T-formation attack, proved to be unstoppable in this contest, which happened to be the 1940 NFL Championship Game. Led by Hall of Fame quarterback Sid Luckman, the Bears were THE dominant team back in the day. I wonder how they'd do against Mike Ditka's 1986 Bears, another monster of a team in NFL annals? Who do you think would win?
