[1] Tomczak was the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Power of the Arena Football League (AFL) until 2014 when they ceased operations.
Tomczack was tabbed to start seven games in 1986 while appearing in six others, with varying levels of activity as opposed to using Steve Fuller.
By late season, the Bears, lacking Jim McMahon due to a rotator cuff injury that saw him knocked for the remainder of the season, signed Doug Flutie, which saw him throw passes in week 13 and 14 before being tapped to replace Tomczak against the Detroit Lions due to injury (the plan for the game was to have Flutie play only in the second half) and then start the following week and the subsequent playoff game.
Tomczak was signed by the Green Bay Packers after the 1990 season and started seven games, throwing 11 touchdown passes, 128 completions and 9 interceptions.
He was cut by the Packers on Monday, August 31, 1992, after not participating in training camp activities or appearing in the entire preseason due to a lengthy contract holdout.
After his contract with Pittsburgh was not renewed, he signed with the Detroit Lions in 2000 but suffered a broken right tibia in an exhibition game against the Oakland Raiders.
After being forced to sit out the entire season, he retired from football, the last remaining active player from the 1985 Bears team.
