Top 5 teams, '33 thru '65, to not win a title game

What about the 1938 Packers?

Well here's my Top 10

'63 Packers, 11-2-1: If only they at least split vs Bears they break well into the Top 10. Make that...they don't make the list at all.

If Ditka doesn't break about five tackles on a third-and-forever in the fourth quarter against Pittsburgh, the Bears don't salvage a tie and the loss ends up deadlocking them with the Pack--all else staying the same. I have no idea where the potential playoff game would have been held.

The Playoff was scheduled in late November, to be played in Green Bay.

The Bears had beaten the Packers on the road and at home during the season, so the location may not have made any difference.

After the opening day 10-3 win in GB, Halas said it was the greatest team effort for the Bears since the 73-0 destruction of the Skins in 1940.

Yeah, but beating a team like the '63 Packers three times in one year? Tall order.

1932 Packers. They went 10-3-1, but the Bears (6-1-6) and Spartans (6-1-4) played for the championship.
