The 1987 Chicago Bears season was their 68th regular season and 18th post-season completed in the National Football League. The club was looking to return to the playoffs and win the NFC Central Division for a fourth consecutive year and avenge their loss in the Divisional Playoffs the year before when the team finished 14-2. The Bears' record fell off slightly, with the team finishing at 11-4 in the strike-shortened season, but the team earned their fourth straight division title and another first round bye in the playoffs. However, as it was in 1986, the Bears were eliminated at home in the Divisional Playoffs by the eventual Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins.

“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
