Seeing a recent “Chalk Talk” question about the possibility of Brett Favre playing for the Bears got me wondering: How many of the 1985 Bears went on to play for the Packers? I know Jim McMahon is one player who definitely suited up for Green Bay after leaving the Bears.

Four members of the 1985 Super Bowl XX champion Bears later played for the Green Bay Packers: Quarterbacks Jim McMahon and Mike Tomczak, defensive tackle Steve McMichael and linebacker Jim Morrissey. McMahon won a Super Bowl ring as Brett Favre’s backup in 1996. When the Packers were honored at the White House, McMahon wore a Bears jersey, enraging Green Bay fans. McMahon explained that he did it because the Bears never got a chance to visit the White House after winning Super Bowl XX. Their trip to Washington was canceled after the Challenger space shuttle blew up, killing all seven astronauts aboard.
