The Bears break the Green Bay Packers 3-year strangle hold on the Western Division with an 11-1-2 record. In the NFL Championship Game at Wrigley Field the Bears battle the New York Giants in front of 45,801 fans on a bone-chilling afternoon. The Bears would win 14-10 as Bill Wade scores both Bears Touchdowns. However, the star of the game is the Bears defense that intercepts Giants QB Y.A. Tittle 5 times.
