The last time the Chicago Bears won a playoff game was with legendary linebacker Brian Urlacher
When the Chicago Bears reached Super Bowl XLI in 2006-07, they had not been true title contenders since the days of the legendary Mike Ditka. But they had taken the NFC North by storm thanks to an elite defense helmed by future Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher.
They lost to Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts because of poor quarterback play, and for the next three non-playoff seasons it seemed they had wasted their chance. But in 2010, the Bears returned to the top of the division and, armed with a first-round bye, easily made their way to the NFC Championship Game.

Awaiting them were Aaron Rodgers and the No. 6 seed Green Bay Packers. They lost, and have not gone that deep since.

If he can change one moment in NFL history, it will be from the NFC Championship Game in January 2019. In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
