Jim McMahon, who passed for 256 yards, became the first quarterback to rush for two touchdowns. Richard Dent, who contributed 1 1/2 sacks, was voted the Most Valuable Player. Chicago all-time great running back Walter Payton didn't score, but defen- sive tackle William "Refrigerator" Perry had a 1-yard TD run.
