SUPER BOWL XXVII : The Spotlight : WHAT THEY’RE SAYING AROUND THE NATION

So next year this time, we can expect a big parade in the Loop, a dynasty in the works, a defense that routinely takes away the ball nine times a game. Everything we saw in Super Bowl XXVII is coming to Chicago. A sickly 5-11 record becomes a 52-17 demolition on the final Sunday in January. Isn’t that right, Dave Wannstedt? Isn’t that right?

“Hey there,” said the coach of the Bears, officially now, protesting with a laugh in the Rose Bowl’s archaic bowels. “You’ve got to remember it took us four years to force nine turnovers.”
