This year\u2019s championship game marks the 40th anniversary of the Chicago Bears\u2019 46-10 victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl XX, when Frazier started at cornerback for Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frazier, now 66, signed with Chicago in 1981 and became a key member of the Bears\u2019 seminal \u201c46\u201d defense. He says there are still remnants of the 46 in the Seahawks\u2019 defensive strategy. Frazier led the Bears in interceptions for three consecutive seasons between 1983 and 1985. One of those interceptions was a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6MTGrix1fEI\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1984 pick <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">against the Packers that John Madden called \u201cprobably the greatest interception that (he\u2019s) ever seen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frazier, the only member of the \u201985 Bears still working in the NFL, said he hopes to serve the Patriots another Super Bowl loss on Sunday, this time from the sidelines. To Frazier, the parallelism is significant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of my former teammates texted me about the fact that this is the 40th anniversary and it was New England that we played, and it hadn&#8217;t really dawned on me as we were getting ready to play the championship game against the Rams,\u201d Frazier said. \u201cThen afterwards it hit me. You know, it&#8217;s full circle in a lot of ways. Here we are playing New England 40 years later, and it&#8217;s just a special moment to be in this position, to be able to compete for another world championship, which would be my third as a coach and player. So it&#8217;s just very humbling in so many ways.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 1986 win \u2014 the only Super Bowl victory in Bears history \u2014\u00a0 was bittersweet for the cornerback. Frazier suffered a career-ending knee injury in the second quarter that ultimately led him to a coaching career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frazier didn\u2019t initially aspire to coach. After some convincing, he founded the Trinity International University football team in 1988 and was head coach until 1996, winning two conference titles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt took me about six months before I finally agreed to do it (coach), and it was the best decision I ever made in my life, and it&#8217;s taken me to where I am now, so I\u2019m very, very thankful,\u201d Frazier said. \u201cThat injury probably had a lot to do with my going into coaching.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He now boasts more than 30 years of coaching experience, notably as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 2010-13 and as the Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator from 2017-22. He won his second Super Bowl in 2007 as the defensive backs coach for the Indianapolis Colts \u2014 against the Bears, in another moment of Super Bowl symmetry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is also thankful Frazier chose coaching. Frazier and Macdonald worked together on the Baltimore Ravens coaching staff in 2016, when Frazier served as secondary coach and mentored Macdonald in his role as a defensive assistant. When Macdonald was hired by the Seahawks in 2024 as the youngest head coach in the NFL, Frazier was one of the first people he called.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMan, I love Leslie Frazier,\u201d Macdonald said. \u201cTalk about someone that you look up to as a role model in your life. He&#8217;s right there, and he&#8217;s been a steadfast presence for me personally. He&#8217;s just been a steady and rock for me and the rest of the team. Great communicator, just understands the game and what matters, what works, what doesn&#8217;t, and he&#8217;s been a great sounding board this whole process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frazier\u2019s impact is also felt by Seahawks players. Devon Witherspoon \u2014 a cornerback, like Frazier \u2013 said, \u201cTo have an OG like that in the room to instill \u2018veteranism\u2019 and put his foot down about certain things, you can\u2019t teach that. He\u2019s just a great role model, a great person to look up to, to ask questions, he\u2019s everything you want in an OG.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, Frazier\u2019s leadership through Seattle\u2019s dominant season has been invaluable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe\u2019s unbelievable, just what he\u2019s meant to this team. He means the world to us as players,\u201d Darnold said. \u201cThe advice that I\u2019ve gotten from him throughout the season \u2014 I know Coach Mike says the same thing about him. He\u2019s kind of one of those secret weapons on our team that not a lot of people know about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frazier still keeps in touch with the \u201cShufflin\u2019 Crew\u201d of 1985, who reached pre-internet virality with their \u201cSuper Bowl Shuffle\u201d music video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGuys like Gary Fencik, Tyrone Keys, Jim Osborne the other day, just different guys shoot me texts and calls all the time,\u201d Frazier said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t the dance rehearsals, or even the Grammy nomination, that solidified Frazier\u2019s lasting relationships with his Bears teammates \u2014 it was the Super Bowl ring. Frazier hopes to give that lifelong bond to his Seahawks with a win on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis team, praying that we go ahead and win it on Sunday, will be forever abundant by this game and these relationships will last forever, because that&#8217;s exactly what it&#8217;s been like for me with the guys I played with in the 1986 Super Bowl,\u201d Frazier said. \u201cThat relationship, even though we&#8217;re not around each other all the time, it&#8217;s like we are. As soon as one of them calls or shoots a text, it&#8217;s like we see each other all the time. It&#8217;s a special, special feeling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sarah Force is a sports media specialization graduate student at Medill.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Sarah Force Medill Reports SAN JOSE, Calif. \u2014 Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier knows what it takes to beat the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl.
