"Our defense took the game away
and the offense picked up the
pieces." Coach Mike Ditka said
It started with 3:29 left in the first
period when Chicago got the ball in
Dallas territory when cornerback
Richardson knocked it loose from
Mike Renfro, picked it up. then had
the ball knocked loose himself and
Gary Fencik recovered for the Bears
on the 45
The Bears couldn't move, but
Maury Buford's punt went out at the
two.
On the next play, White when back
to pass. Hampton lunged at the ball
and tipped it high into the air. The
6-foot-5 Dent, charging from the
other side, used moves honed by
hours on the basketball court, leaped

Meanwhile, lhe guest team foi the
Colton Bow I is also up in lhe air
high, pulled it in, and stepped over
the goal line to give the Bears of 7-0
lead.
"I knew I hit it good,” Hampton
said. "Then I turned around and saw
Dent. You know he’s got a 38-inch
vertical jump. He just went up and
got it and turned around and he was
in the end zone. "
"Hampton got up pretty high and
tapped the ball," said Dent. “It was
like playing basketball. I just went up
and got it."
The rout was on.
Early in the second quarter, the of-
fense took the ball 39 yards in 10
plays and Kevin Butler kicked the
first of three field goals, a 44-yarder,
to make it 10-0.
Then it was the defense again.
A blitzing Wilson knocked White
out of the game with a concussion
and on the following series he charg-
ed at White’s replacement, Gary
Hogeboom. Hogeboom tossed it over
the middle right into the hands of
Richardson, who waltzed 36 yards for
the score that made it 17-0.
Then the other cornerback. Leslie
Frazier intercepted Hogeboom and
returned 33 yards to the Chicago 48
The game was also the first win for
Chicago over Dallas in seven games
since 1971 and was a celebration of
Ditka's return to Dallas, where he
spent eight years as an assistant
coach.

IRVING, Texas <AP> - The
Chicago Bears have sent a message
to the rest of the National Football
League: beat us if you can. but try it
at the peril of losing your health and
your pride.
With Richard Dent. Dan Hampton,
Otis Wilson and Mike Richardson
leading a brutal defense and Walter
Payton running for his accustomed
132 yards, the Bears beat the
Cowboys 44-0 Sunday. They had six
sacks, four interceptions and limited
Dallas to 171 total yards
But the game, which the Bears won
with second stringer Steve Fuller at
quarterback in place of the injured
Jim McMahon, did more than that
It made the Bears 11-0. the first
time since the divisions were realign
ed in the 1970 merger that an NFC
team has been unbeaten this late in
the season.
It clinched for the Bears the NFC
Central title, the first time since 1970
any team has clinched this early.
And it represented the worst defeat
in the illustrious 26-year history of
the Cowboys, worse even than a
41-point loss to Cleveland back in
1960, when Dallas was no more than a
pitiful, first year expansion learn
"This was an old-fashioned country
licking by a very good football
team." said Dallas Coach Tom Lan-
dry, whose team began lhe day 7-3
and tied for first in the NFC East

"I'm glad we did it,” said Wilson.

who twice knocked Dallas quarter-
back Danny White out of the game
with vicious unblocked blitzes "They
were mouthing off a lot. saying we
haven't played anybody yet. I guess
we still haven't played anybody ''
Despite the score, it was pure
defense that did it. particularly in the
first half, when the defense ac-
counted 21 of the 24 points
