Did You Know: Jim McMahon former Chicago Bears QB.

Chicago Bears fans remember that QB Jim McMahon helped the Bears win Super Bowl XX, but what they don't remember is he won a Super Bowl with the Packers.

Yes, he played for the Bears enemy and in 1996 he played backup to Brett Favre.

He was booed at the beginning of his two years with the Pack, later he was called McBackup to Brett Favre.

The funny part of this story is that the Bears never went to the White House in Washington because of the death of the astronauts on the challenger. So, when the Packers won the Super Bowl in 1996, McMahon wore a Chicago Bears jersey

Many Green Bay Packer fans grew very furious, but then he explained how he never had the chance to go when he was on the Bears.

He is the best Bears QB since Sid Luckman, but he bounced around the league after his departure from the Bears. He later played for the Vikings, Chargers, and Cardinals.

Just a fun fact to know about a former Bears player.
