The Chicago Bears are set to honor Mike Ditka during their Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers by wearing a special helmet decal featuring his number 89. This tribute comes after Ditka's recent passing.
The Bears unveiled the decal on Sunday morning ahead of the game at Lambeau Field. Ditka, a significant figure in Bears history, was drafted by the team in 1961 and became the first tight end in NFL history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards in a single season.
After his playing career, Ditka returned to the Bears as head coach in 1982, leading the team to its only Super Bowl victory in 1985. The Packers will also honor Ditka with a moment of silence before the game, acknowledging his impact on the historic rivalry between the two teams.
