Chicago Bears players will wear No. 51 patches on their jerseys for the remainder of the season to pay tribute to late Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus. The patch is one of several ways the Bears plan to honor Butkus, who died in his sleep at age 80 last week at his home in Malibu, Calif.. At Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field, the Bears will have an on-field display of his retired No. 51 jersey.
Matt Butkus and the group Team Butkus started the tailgates in 2021 and have held several since, with the proceeds going to the Butkus Foundation and local charities. Sunday’s tailgate also will benefit the Illinois chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. “It’s a way for Matt to get involved in Chicago and give something back,” said Patrick McRaith, the director of charitable outreach for the Butkus Foundation. “Matt said, ‘We’re tailgating anyway.
