1949 Chicago Bears season
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox NFL season The 1949 season was the Chicago Bears' 30th in the National Football League. The team failed to improve on their 10–2 record from 1948 and finished with a 9–3 record, under head coach and owner George Halas, but finished in second place in the NFL Western Division for a third time, missing out on a chance to add more league titles to their trophy case.[1] The Bears were 3–3 at mid-season, then won their final six games.[2]
The Los Angeles Rams (8–2–2) defeated the Bears twice,[3][4] and won the division title.[5] (Ties were disregarded in winning percentage calculation until 1972.) This was the first season the Bears donned their now famous rounded numerals.
