An undying willingness to put winning and personal goals above all else, even if that means self-sacrifice. That said, it doesn’t take ...2024See also Tua Tagovailoa latest news

"Since then, only 1 player has managed to match that mark: Gale Sayers (w/the Bears on Dec 12, 1965) pic." - 2023
"Remembering Gale Sayers: Here are five things you may not know about the late NFL legend" - 2022
"The close friend of Hall of Famer Gale Sayers, Piccolo died of cancer [more]" - 2021
"After being shredded on Christmas Day by the Saints and Alvin Kamara (who became the first player to score six touchdowns in a game since Gale Sayers in 1965), coach Mike Zimmer declared that the 2021 Vikings was the “worse one I’ve ever had." - 2020
"We recently noted the 50-year anniversary of Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers’ memorable and moving speech regarding the illness that teammate Brian Piccolo was fighting." - 2019
"Gale Sayers draws 1 more thunderous ovation as Chicago Bears kick off 100th anniversary celebration weekend " - 2018
"Tyreek Hill ties Gale Sayers record with 67-yard score" - 2017
"* I don’t know about you, but watching Bears rookie running back/punt returner Tarik Cohen take that 61-yard punt return to the house in electrifying fashion — he reversed field almost 15 yards before heading in the right direction — I saw Gale Sayers in my mind’s eye." - 2016
"Running back Jeremy Langford had more than 800 yards of total offense in 2015 and joined Gale Sayers and Walter Payton as the only Bears rookies since 1960 to run for touchdowns in four straight games." - 2015
"The 1965 NFL Draft gave the Chicago Bears Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus." - 2014
"Here is what makes this play special, other than the fact that it is designed to get the ball in the hands of an Ivy League third-stringer: 1) It is run to the boundary (short) side of the field, where even Gale Sayers would have no room to maneuver; 2) the play begins with a long, slow, extra-loopy backfield motion by Walters, who nearly bumps into Marshawn Lynch before the snap (the entire defense has time to look across the formation and say, "Hmm, we should probably pay attention to that"); and 3) most of the offensive line blocks to the right, making it natural for all of the linebackers to flow that way."
