1974 Season

The Bears finish in last place again with a record of 4-10 as Coach Abe Gibron after 3 consecutive last place seasons in which the team's combined record was 11-30-1. Gibron's tenure, which was marked by failure, would have only one last reminder that may have typified the Bears play during that era. It was not courtesy a great play or a great moment, but by the NFL Films video "Football Follies". Gibron who was miced up during a game kept singing, "Joy to the World" by 3 Dog Night, and at times seemed disinterested in the game.
