A lot of people here are going to be blaming Rex Grossman for screwing up the game, granted he didn't play particularly well (again), but I think it was more the Colts adapted to the Bears early, and the Bears never caught up, and ended up getting kind of desperate (which led to those two long passed interceptions).
Sad, but oh well. We won in 1985, so I'm happy I got to live through that already.
I believe the rain played a large factor in the game. I've never seen so many fumbles and interceptions! Without the rain, it could've been a different story. Manning started out shaky, but then managed to get his stuff together early, while Grossman just couldn't seem to make his passing 'click'.

What is this strange, non-icy substance falling from the sky??

Seriously, nobody could hold on to that ball.
*thinks*
I think there was a pattern in the game with fumbles. One team would fumble the ball then the following play the other team would get it right back. haha. They shouldn't have ever let weather be a factor in the super bowl. Apparently this was the first super bowl in history where it rained.
As far as the colts winning with the rain.. If it didn't rain we probably would have dominated. -quoted from my Chem teacher this morning.
