And what of the vast array of not-so-common plays that they not only had
in their books, but used on the field?  Now some people might say that
the Bears HAD to use trick plays to win...but if it works, what does it
matter?  After all, six points is still six points.  Besides, the trick plays
make the Bears not only an unpredictable opponent, but a team that almost
guarantees an entertaining win...
