10 longest win streaks to start a season in NFL history

10. Chicago Bears, 1985

The Bears began their 1985 season with a stellar 12-game win streak on the shoulders of perhaps the best defense in NFL history. After handling its first dozen games with relative ease, Chicago found itself on the losing end of a high-scoring 38-24 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. Fortunately for the Bears, this wouldn’t slow down their momentum as they finished the year with a 15-1 regular season record and a Super Bowl championship.
