Steve McMichael, who helped anchor the Chicago Bears' dominant 46 Defense during the 1980s, died due to complications from ALS.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve "Mongo" McMichael died on Wednesday after a long battle with ALS. McMichael, 67, had been transferred to hospice care earlier in the day and was taken off a ventilator.

McMichael would play 13 seasons with the Bears from 1981 to 1993, and ranks second only to Richard Dent in team history with 92.5 sacks.
