Bears pay tribute to Mike Ditka on what would have been his birthday

The Chicago Bears honored Mike Ditka on Sunday, marking what would have been his 87th birthday. The team shared a sketch of the former coach and player on social media and continued wearing helmet decals with his retired No. 89. Following his death on Oct. 9, the team also utilized uniform patches. The Bears plan further tributes during next week's Thursday Night Football game against the Patriots upon their return to Soldier Field.
