1928 Chicago Bears season Season overview . The 1928 Chicago Bears season was their ninth regular season completed in the National Football League . The club posted a 7 - 5 - 1 record under head coach George Halas , earning them a fifth place finish in the team standings , their worst record to date . The season had its high points , including two shutout wins over the crosstown rival Chicago Cardinals , a shutout win over the defending champion New York Giants , and convincing victories over Frankford , Dayton , and Pottsville . However , two losses each to Detroit and the eventual champion Green Bay Packers made 1928 a disappointment to the normally contending Bears . Chicago ' s problem was the old guard was aging with Joey Sternaman , Paddy Driscoll , and George Halas all now in their early 30s , but not enough new talent was on the team to compete . Also , the Bears were now faced with an equal number of away games as at home , whereas in the early 1920s almost all their games were at home as they drew much larger crowds than most other teams . The pace of playing 3 games in 8 days around Thanksgiving , then a standard practice — the Thanksgiving game was not a substitute for the Sunday game but just an extra game , also hurt the veteran Bears down the stretch as in previous years . Joe Sternaman and William Senn starred on offense with 4 and 5 touchdowns each . Sternaman also shared kicking duties with Driscoll . The passing game became more important and the Bears scored 11 touchdowns via the air , versus 13 on the ground . This was a league - wide trend , foreshadowing the ascendancy of Don Hutson and Sammy Baugh of the 1930s . Standings .
