- Week 1 of the 1989 season. Chicago beats the defending AFC champion Bengals, 17-14. The victory extends their week one winning streak to six under coach Mike Ditka. The Bears rushed for 212 yards, 146 of them belonged to RB Neal Anderson.
Neal Anderson is class act. Never played the fool & always respected the game
Neal was the man. He was overshadowed by Barry and Emmitt, but He could do it all. He was literally the Bears entire offense for 5 years. Really a shame the organization completely collapsed in the early '90s. Plus, the nagging injuries really slowed him down...but damn, he was the Bears' entire offense for 5 years
Edit: Mike Tomczak was trash🤣🤣
Bill Walsh's first regular season game as a TV analyst. He worked for NBC for 3 seasons before returning to coaching at Stanford.
Worst announcer ever. Even my 49ers fan friend admitted this.
Walsh should have stayed in San Francisco
I don't know why NBC thought it would be a good idea to break up the team of Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen
Walsh was terrible in the booth. Lasted only 3 years
Being from Chicago, this game was played my freshman year in college-it was the national game so I was able to watch it-good memory
James Brooks was awesome!
Complete player.
Imagine if Neal Anderson hadn't started his NFL career as a fullback.
Yeah, his first 2 years were not nearly what they could have been. As a rookie he was better than Payton, but what can you do when the player you are replacing is one of the best to ever play the game?
Thinking about Anderson, I cannot recall what he sounded like in interviews? He seemed like a guy who didn’;t seek media attention.
Anderson’s first two seasons in ‘86-87 were wasted as he waited for Payton to pass the torch. Every time he touched the ball it was electric & fans could tell he was going to be something special. By that time it had become clear that Payton had lost a step. Payton was the greatest, but it was difficult to watch him from late ‘86 to ‘87. By then, Payton was dropping passes and had an increased propensity to fumble the ball, ESPECIALLY when the Bears were within FG range or in the red zone. By mid ‘87, Ditka was featuring Anderson & Payton was more of a blocking/receiving back. Anderson got injured with 3gms left in the regular season & the Bears offense fell apart. Without Anderson, the Bears lost 2 of their last three, along with their divisional round matchup to the Redskins. I often wonder what might have been if #35 had been available to boost the offense during that game. Payton is still my favorite player ever, but it was hard to watch him at the end. Right now, I can still hear my Father screaming, “G*d d#m*it Payton, use both your hands, for cripes sakes cover the d*mn ball with TWO hands!” My Dad LOVED the Bears..
He had a thing for Willie “Stone Hands” Gault too….
He started his career on the punt coverage team and was incredible.
This Bengals-Bears 1989 Week 1 clash was the debut of Bill Walsh as NFL on NBC #1 analyst alongside Dick Enberg
Thank you
The last 2 teams Bill Walsh beat as H.C. of the 49ers
At 2:34, is that Brooks giving the bird to the Bears sidelines?
2:42
Not sure why Ditka would say James Brooks had lost it. He had a good 1988 season sharing carries with Icky Woods, and then went onto his best season ever this year, proving Ditka wrong.
My favorite year as 49er fan.
Love seeing the Cincy/Wyche hurry up
Actually not a true hurry up. Rather a “no huddle” offense that *could* snap quickly if you tried to substitute. Oddly, Sam Wyche loved to control the clock and often used time of possession to reduce the number of plays his somewhat below average defense would face.
Starting the next year the Bills-who whined mightily when Cincinnati first used the “no huddle”-adopted a true no huddle “hurry up” version desired to not only prevent opponents from substituting, but to run as many plays as quickly as they could even if that made the defense face more opponent plays.
hey Friend, I was wondering if you have any footage of the 1989 week 10 tilt between the Bills and Colts, particularly the only TD near the end of the game by the colts that was scored by my high school teammate Randy Dixon
Love these 89 games. Do you have the Vikings @ Bears 1989 game? Very rare
I wish I had more 1989 NFL season Chicago bears game but I can't find all of them just some of them from week2 to week16 and I wish I had some more of 1988 NFL Chicago bears game but I can't find all of them from week1 to week16 am getting sick and mad and sad that I can't get all the Chicago bears game from1988 to 1989 Chicago bears game 😂😭😢

Bears started the year 4-0 and were looking pretty good with some new faces blending well with some of the old guard and then...oh dear...the wheels fell off: 2-10 the rest of the way, the end of the Bears mini dynasty.
The NFC was stacked in 1989. Even the Packers had a decent year, within the NFC Central. On the other hand, in the AFC, you had maybe the Bills and the Broncos, and that was about it
I was so happy when the Bengals changed their uniforms so they didn't look exactly like the Browns.

Rumors of James Brooks’ demise were *highly* exaggerated going into 1989!
This season went really bad a few-weeks later. 😬
It sure did….geez…
Why was there only one football game on NBC at 1:00PM ET that day? But there was 7 games on NBC at 4:00ET on NBC that same day? They should've had 4 games for the 1:00ET slot and 4 games for the 4:00PM ET slot. Make it look even and better.
Dan Hampton was a real life monster on the football field. Played injured an aching all the time. Idiot Michael McCaskey wouldn't guarantee him an extra season after he sat out a couple weeks with knee problems. He was willing to play hurt and the Bears couldn't do without him. They started 3-0 and only won 3 more the rest of the way as Hampton shut himself down for the rest of the season. Chicago is still suffering at the hands of the worst management to ever control an NFL team, the McCheapsky family.
I hate when video are blocked in the country and I hate video that are delete in some areas am sick and mad and sad about it 😂😷😭
38:30
These comments by Bill Walsh pissed off Dan Hampton.
Did Bugs Bunny let a fart at The end of the game?
Bears first season without Jim McMahon
Their second without the great Walter Payton.
It would have been nice if Ditka didn't take lumps of coal and try to turn them into diamonds. (Tomzack, Harbough, & Flutie) Should have signed a QB that was good or done something. The QB's were the only reason that they didn't win more Super Bowl's.
I’ll take Mike Tomczak over 10 Mitch Trubisky’s or Jay Cutlers
Tomczak was fucking brutal. You obviously don’t know shit about football.
Uhh….You must be thinking of a different Mike Tomczak. The one I’m thinking of was mistake prone, momentum murdering, drive killing, season ruining, turnover machine who had a penchant for instantly turning a high impact offense into an ANEMIC one.
The Bears were having a great season in 1990 with Harbaugh as the starter. Harbaugh was injured with 3 games left in the year & ruled out for the season, making Tomczak the starter. The Bears offense, which had been clicking going 10-3, immediately shit the bed and the Bears lost 2 of the last 3 to go 11-5. They beat the Saints (unimpressively) in the Wild Card playoff game and got ROASTED 31-3 by the NY Giants in the Divisional Round. THAT is the T-zak I remember….
Who are you talking about?
I recall most Bears fans celebrating when they FINALLY released him after 1990 season.
agree in the sense that Tzack cost the Bears nothing-an undrafted free agent, and eventually became a decent backup NFL QB. Tzack played a long time after leaving the Bears. he probably would have been better had he played for a supportive coach. Not going to be a star or anything as he seemed to fold under pressure and lock in to receivers. one reason you should be hard on guys at QB is to see if they can handle the pressure. it was his weakness, for sure.
Bill walsh, up there or down there with Magic and bill Walton as worst announcers ever, had no idea what was going on half the game. We got Justin fields tho, so bear down
I like bill Walsh for 49er stories.
Bengals under achieved in 89 and 90. Their defense wasn’t that good
Walsh was awful as an analyst.
I liked him. Especially 49er stories.
