NFL teams pay tribute to Bears owner Virginia McCaskey following her passing
Thursday was a somber day for the Chicago Bears as team owner and matriarch Virginia Halas McCaskey passed away at the age of 102. McCaskey was the oldest child of Bears founder George Halas and took control of the team following his passing in 1983. For over four decades, McCaskey presided over the organization, which included their only Super Bowl victory during the 1985 season. McCaskey saw 14 playoff appearances, 11 division championships, and two NFC titles during her tenure as team owner.
In 2014, McCaskey became the oldest owner in the league following Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson’s death and became the longest-tenured principal owner across all North American major sports following Arizona Cardinals owner Bill Bidwell’s death. She was the mother to 11 children, including chairman George McCaskey.
When news of her passing began to circulate, many paid tribute to her memory and legacy in the NFL—including the other NFL organizations. Here are the statements from the franchises around the league.
