The Bears were ranked number 5. They had one admitted weakness. They couldn't play pass coverage. One of the KC LB Corps (I think the 70s) was number 4.
I got to watch the show last night in detail. Here is the reasoning I think went into the rankings.
80s Saints- I think this was part pity ranking. I think the show's producers felt bad that such a great group never won a play off game, much less a championship and that wasn't there fault. Plus one year all 4 of their LBs went to the pro bowl (something that has never happened before or after).
The Steel Curtain- I think they were impressed with the domination of the Steelers in the 70s and that is what pushed them ahead of the Giants.
