Papa Bear Halas's amazing career included 40 years as Chicago's head coach -- in four separate 10-year stints. The 1963 season, midway through his final run, was one of his finest hours: the Bears dominated the NFL with an 11-1-2 record while their spectacular defense surrendered a measly 144 points -- 62 points fewer than the league's second-best unit. The Monsters of the Midway proved they were the real deal when they beat senseless Giants record-setting quarterback Y.A. Tittle in the title game and dominated the league's top-ranked offense. Chicago won 14-10. Halas remains the oldest coach in NFL history to win a championship.
