| 0:04.3 | Welcome back for another episode of Reality Life with Kate Casey. |
| 0:07.4 | I hope that you're having a great week, and I have to tell you, I've got such a fun episode for you today. |
| 0:12.6 | I'm going to take you back to 1985. |
| 0:15.8 | That's when the city of Chicago felt invincible, and its football team felt mythic. |
| 0:22.7 | The Chicago Bears weren't just winning, |
| 0:28.6 | they were redefining dominance. With Mike Dicka's fiery leadership, Buddy Ryan's bruising defensive genius, and a roster full of outsized personalities, the 85 bears steamrolled the league with style |
