The NFL lost one of its most iconic and colorful members in league history this week. Hall of Fame tight end, coach and commentator, Mike Ditka passed away at the age of 86 this week.
Memories of Ditka span so many generations, be it as a player, animated head coach, or even on screens. Whether you remember him as a gridiron tough guy, the coach who led the 1985 Bears to a legendary season, or even as a caricature of himself in the Will Ferrell movie “Kicking and Screaming”, Ditka was a delight to football
and sports fans.
One current Bengals player knew Coach Ditka, and recently reminisced about him upon hearing about his passing. Even so, Cincinnati has a big opportunity ahead to get into the bye week with a winning record, while getting healthy for a big showdown against the Ravens.
