Football is a sport watched by millions, if not thousands of people. It is a sport that not only takes commitment, but also dedication. It is a sport that throughout the years has become more and more popular and more of the youth is watching it. A season of football consists of sixteen games, which are played in the regular season, followed be the post season, which are considered the playoffs. Then and only then, two teams go to the Super Bowl. That is where both teams will compete for the championship trophy. This past year the Bears, a phenomenal team who has not made an appearance in the Super Bowl in about twenty years, get the opportunity to showcase their talent against the Indianapolis Colts, who were the heavy favor in the game. Even though the Colts were the heavy favor in the Super Bowl, both teams have strengths and weaknesses. There are three of them, which are most important in any game: running backs, quarterbacks and coaches. Those are the three main factors that come into play when you are dealing with the Super Bowl.
Throughout history, there have been many great running backs from Walter Payton to Emmit Smith. These running backs have displayed their talents repetitively. The Chicago bears have never been a team worthy of fame. They never really showed any progression throughout the years. Although the Bears have had no success previous years, this year was different.

They have had many great running backs, one of them Walter Payton. Now the bears have an amazing versatile player, Thomas Jones. Thomas does not carry all the work load by himself, he has lineman that protect him at all cost. Johns does a good job running the ball, he waits for a hole to appear, and he then shoots into it like a rampaging bull on caffeine. The Bears are a strictly a run team. They wear they opponent down by continuously running the ball into the heart of the defense. That is what makes he bears so unique. The Clots also have a great running back too. They, along with the bears have a tremendous running game. Dominic Rhodes, the very talented running back for the Colts, is also a versatile and a coordinated player. Even though both players bring different attributes to the playing field, they both, in their own way, provide a functional way of contributing to the team. The Colts tend to pass more, but do have a full functional running game plan. The two players have their differences, Jones likes to run the ball sideways as well up the gut. That means you run sideways to try and get to open field and turn it up and get more yard.
Quarterbacks play a key roll in the game as well as running backs do. The Chicago Bears have struggled to keep a steady quarterback. They have never had a quarterback that was consistent with throwing the ball. All of them either have been terrible or just not consistent. Rex Grossman, the quarterback this year, was a quarterback that had his good and his bad days. Unlike the Bears, the Colts have
