Mike Ditka, one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time, passed away recently. He will be honored before the Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers game on Sunday. Chicago will have a sticker on their helmets honoring the late head coach, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
The sticker will feature the no. 89. That is the number Ditka wore when he played with the Bears, during the 1960s.
Ditka won a Super Bowl as head coach of the Bears. He had many battles with Green Bay over the years.
“Ditka famously went 15-5 against Green Bay during his tenure as Chicago’s head coach,” the 33rd Team reported on X, formerly Twitter.
Green Bay is also honoring Ditka.
“The Packers will honor the late Mike Ditka with a moment of silence before today’s game against the Bears at Lambeau Field,” the 33rd Team reported.
