Hall Of Fame OT Jimbo Covert: 1985 Bears Could’ve Played With ‘Any Of Those Steelers Teams’

There are a few timeless Pittsburgh Steelers-related debates that have lived on over the years. Who is the better safety between Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu? Which single-season team is the greatest of all time? Two major players in that conversation are the 1978 Steelers and the 1985 Chicago Bears.

Jimbo Covert, an OT on ’85 Bears, joined the Joe Starkey Show on 93.7 The Fan last week, and the Hall of Famer was asked if the ’85 Bears are the greatest team of all time.

“I think so. We got five Hall of Famers on that team, and I think if you look back at that team, I think that ’85 team that year could have beat any team of all time,” Covert said.
