1935 Chicago Bears season

The biggest problem was the veterans from the 1920s had largely retired or were past their prime but not enough young talent had emerged to offset these losses.

Additionally, Bronko Nagurski and Bill Hewitt were injured for large portions of the season and could not play to their normal level.

[1] Keith Molesworth was the brightest spot on offense and was a triple threat from the halfback position.

The Bears lost to Green Bay twice, to Detroit once (tying the Lions in the other game), split the series with New York, and beat the Redskins in their only meeting.

Meanwhile, coach George Halas and his assistants perfected the T, which they never changed from, and other teams switched back from the Single Wing only after the Bears of the 1940s demonstrated the T's superiority.
