Amaze your friends with your newfound intelligence! Below are the actual questions AND ANSWERS heard during Wiki-Pete-ia on our show.
The Chicago Bears, of course, date back to the beginning of the NFL. Some of the game's most famous names played off the coast of Lake Michigan. The team peaked during the 1985 season with one of the best defenses of all-time, on their way to a Super Bowl title under Mike Ditka. The Seahawks, once an expansion team in 1976, have a strong history as well, having played in several Super Bowls. It will be interesting to see how they do this year without Russell Wilson. For now, enjoy the Bears and Seahawks as they do their preseason battle. Let's play Wiki-Pete-ia! Good luck!
