Bears 24, Rams 0: the second straight playoff shutout on the way to Super Bowl XX.
The 1985 NFC Championship Game was played on Sunday, January 12, 1986, between the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Rams, and the Bears won 24–0. The Bears defense dominated the game by limiting Rams running back Eric Dickerson to 46 yards, forcing him to fumble twice, and holding quarterback Dieter Brock to just 10 completions on 31 attempts for 66 yards.
