Relive the Chicago Bears' memorable 1970 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the opening night upset of the Giants through the season-ending triumph in New Orleans.

This was one of the most painful years in the Bears' storied history. Brian Piccolo, who would be immortalized in the film "Brian's Song," died of cancer shortly before the start of training camp. And Piccolo's close friend, Gale Sayers, suffered another devastating knee injury, one that would effectively end his career. Nevertheless, the Bears bounced back from their one-win disaster in 1969 with a solid season that featured many highlights, including that season-opening victory over a strong Giants team, the league-leading pass catching of emerging star Dick Gordon and the explosive Devin Hester-like kick returns of Cecil Turner.

A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of coach Jim Dooley's heroes from start to finish as they closed out their long run at Wrigley Field in style before moving to Soldier Field.

Whether you are a die-hard Bears fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1970 Chicago Bears.
