From 1933 to 1949 they played for the Western division, for two years (1950 to 1952) the Bears were part of the national conference, then from 1953 all the way to 1969 they played as part of the Western Conference.

Their first NFL championship was earned in 1921, then in 1933 they earned the top position once again when they defeated the New York Giants by a very close margin of 23 to 21, in 1940 they come back  the battle another title this time against the Washington Redskins however, the game turned out to be a disappointment for many fans due to the wide margin achieved by the Bears (73 to zero).  In 1941 they once again take on the New York Giants and this time they are able to defeat them by a wider margin (37 to 9), in 1943 they go up against the Washington Redskins and come out victorious after winning by a margin of 41 to 21.  In 1946 they are able to once again defeat the Giants by a score of 24 to 14 and last but not least they make their appearance in 1963 to defeat the same team they have been able to overcome in the past, the Giants.
