Monday, December 2

The Bears suffered their first loss of the season, as the Dolphins beat them 38-24 in Miami on Monday Night Football. Dolphins' quarterback Dan Marino threw three touchdown passes and Miami scored on each of its five first-half possessions to take a halftime lead that the Bears couldn't rally back from.

Coach Mike Ditka said quarterback Jim McMahon will start against the Colts on Sunday instead of backup Steve Fuller, who suffered knee and ankle injuries against the Dolphins. McMahon missed three successive games because of tendinitis in his throwing shoulder, but entered Monday night's game in the fourth quarter after Fuller was injured.

Running back Walter Payton felt good enough after a flu bout to lift weights and attend meetings. He did not practice, which is not unusual for a Thursday.
Sunday, December 8

The Bears bounced back from a short week and their first loss by getting a 17-10 home win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Chicago fans booed the Bears as they headed into the locker room tied at three at halftime. But Chicago did just enough in the second half to pull out a win and avoid losing back-to-back games.

One of the twin helmets designed by Art Institute sculptor Dan Galemb and placed on the heads of the institute's bronze lions to celebrate the Bears' winning season was stolen early Sunday, but recovered on Michigan Avenue.
