Summary
Matt Suhey, the gritty fullback who helped carry the 1985 Chicago Bears to Super Bowl glory and scored the first touchdown in their historic win, has died at 68. A cornerstone of the team’s golden era, Suhey blocked for Walter Payton for eight seasons and played in 148 of 152 games, amassing nearly 3,000 rushing yards, 2,000 receiving yards, and 25 touchdowns. Drafted in 1980, he became a fan favorite known for his toughness and loyalty — even standing by Payton during his final days. Suhey’s legacy as one of the greatest Bears of all time lives on.
