He sometimes got lost in the shuffle but Matt Suhey could have been the number one running back on a lot of other teams.But he certainly was a valuable player on this Bears team, even if he was always in Payton's shadow.
Suhey was good as a fullback, but you underestimate the Sweetness effect. A big reason why Suhey got the yardage he did was because defenses were keying on Walter Payton. This is the main reason Payton never got a touchdown in SB XX. Suhey wasn't in Payton's shadow, he was basking in Payton's aura. After Walter retired, Matt only got another 100 carries in his career, despite being 4 years younger and having only 20% of the carries of Walter. Suhey was a great #2 and friend to Payton, carrying on to be a Payton family friend and executor of Walter's estate.
I can tell that this was recorded from the CBS affiliate in Chicago because the picture was always pale. I have several other versions of this game on DVD and they are more colorful.
Man the tackling quality and defense was much better back then. Guys now are no doubt bigger and faster athletes but the fundamental play has definitely gone down in quality
3:07 The late Dave Duerson reads the receiver's eyes & prevents a TD. Jets blew their shot at a rematch, by losing six turnovers in their Wildcard loss to the Patriots. What's interesting, is the Jets committed the fewest regular-season turnovers, 29. The Bears tied for 3rd fewest with Denver, 33.
Dave Duerson was a good pro blow level safety but did you know he was a backup/replacement to todd bell the bears pro bowl starting safety that held out in 1985, along with another player.
The NY Jets & Miami Dolphins were the toughest teams the Bears faced. Even with all of O'Brien's fumbles the offensive did run the ball well & moved it against the Bears defense. But can we talk about the NY Jets defense? Time and time again holding the Bears after so many turnovers. If the NY Jets had only drafted Dan Marino the NY Jets would have won a superbowl 85-88. Love the NY Jets uniforms bring them back. All BS aside Joe Klecko & Mark Gastineau should be in the Hall of Fame.
He showed all of the scoring. It was a defensive struggle with not many offensive highlights. What more do you want? Both teams combined for only 478 total yards. Bears 319... Jets 159
The interesting thing is I believe the Jets would’ve defeated the Redskins in Super Bowl 17. That stunt Shula pulled with muddy field was shameful but the NFL let him get away with it. As a Giants fan we put together those two super bowl years😀 but the Jets suffered some unfortunate breaks because they had some good squads in the 80’s.
@@ccth22 In 1982 the Dolphins were 3-0 against the Jets. They played on a wet field and dry fields and still won every game. The Dolphins were just the better team.
The Jets had only 159 yards total offense and only 11 first downs. Thus, the game wasn't as close as the score showed. The Bears defense dominated again.
Watching these games just reminds me of how many times Bears defense of all eras have put the offense in a position to succeed with big stops, turnovers, etc yet the offense has and continues to suck. The offenses either fails to capitalize or it ends with a FG 🤦🏽♂️.. We’ve always had a terrible offense
He had a 65 yard catch. So he actually had 118 total yards. I'll have a game from 1980 coming later this year where he barely made 100 total yards on 35 touches.
@@classicsports5057 This game against the Jets was not one of the worst of his career. To say that is idiotic. Thank you for clarifying it in your response to the original comment.
Marvin Powell #79, Offensive Right Tackle of the Jets, had a superb game this day.

Suhey would have not been a number one back on another team he was a true fullback who got carries but that’s it
@@MrDuds1984 Correct.
Ummm, no. Suhey was a very good, and most importantly, very versatile fullback. Would _never_ have been a starting halfback on _any_ NFL team.

jets had a really good defense but the bears had the best/greatest defense!
A typical Chicago style low-scoring defensive grinder

My seats where in the end zone and I got McMahon to flip me off
Wow. I wish I was there. Although I doubt my dad would’ve taken me to a game like this being that we were Bear fans. 🙂
I was there for that one!
Jay Hilgenberg said the Jets were doing a lot of run blitzing. “Hard to run against that” he said.
Did Summerall/Madden also call the NYG Dallas game the next afternoon? Madden cruiser must have been blazing out the parking lot
Exciting game, lots of action !
10:22. Way to go, production crew for not cutting away from the damn commercial in time while McMahon is getting sacked...LOL
The Bears were just a machine, and what a defense!
this was no easy game; Jets were tough. played on the "concrete"
Jets had great teams in the 80’s but not great enough
9:05 I love how the jets sideline is trying to blow the football away from the sidelines, good times.
Defense wins championships

They should have drafted Marino instead of O'brien and they should have fired Joe Walton
Marty Lyons should be in that mix too
The editing on this, what is included and what is cut out, is a mystery.

I wonder what the spread was that day?
Bears -2.5 according to pfr

What is it with teams wearing their away jerseys at home
That be nice for 1 season I like that idea.
@@JJMk3 I hate it
@@scottbrown7497 I actually like it a little bit for 1 season or 3 to 4 games.
@@JJMk3 For a couple of games that be nice just to make it different 👍🏽

Ah, the days when we didn't need the score in our face, along with the down and distance, or a first down indicator line.

There is something very bush league about the Jets
Mark Gastineau: "How coke can improve your game"
Jokes aside, Gastineau should be in the Hall.
First Downs- Bears 20 Jets 11, Total Yards- Bears 319 Jets 159, Time of Possession: Bears 39:36 Jets 20:24. Yet another dominant Bears win!
One of Walter Payton's worst game of his career, 53 rushing yards on 28 carries.

@@classicsports5057 He had zero yards on eight carries in his pro debut. Hard to tank harder than that.
