40 Years Ago Today January 12, 1986 ° 1985 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP ° The #Bears' savage '46 defense' shuts down the Rams, 24-0 — the franchise's first NFC title, and the first time in NFL history that a team records consecutive shutouts in the same postseason. After having gained an NFL playoff record 248 yards a week earlier, Eric Dickerson is limited to only 46 yards by #DaBears. The Rams offense totals just nine first downs and 130 net yards. As "Bear Weather" arrives in the fourth quarter, Richard Dent forces a fumble by Rams quarterback Dieter Brock. Wilber Marshall recovers it and travels 52 yards through the flurries for a touchdown.
