IRON MIKE: The Life and Legend of Mike Ditka

The clock ran out in New Orleans with the Bears up 46-10, and Mike Ditka’s players hoisted him onto their shoulders and carried him off the field. His 1985 team went 18-1 and won Super Bowl XX, the lone Super Bowl title in Chicago’s history. Ditka already had won an NFL championship as an All-Pro tight end in 1963, which made him the common denominator in the Bears’ only two titles since 1946. “IRON MIKE: The Life and Legend of Mike Ditka” is a hardcover collector’s book from USA TODAY Sports chronicling the coach who gave Chicago its greatest season and became a cultural icon in the process.
