Yes.
The Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers tied at 1-13 for the worst record in the 1969 NFL season. There being no tie breakers in place during the time, the tie was broken by a toss of the coin. Bears executive Ed McCaskey called the toss incorrectly giving the Steelers the #1 overall choice and the Bears the #2 overall choice. The Steelers selected Terry Bradshaw #1 and the Bears traded the #2 to the Packers.
Ironically, had there been tie breakers in place at the time, the Steelers would have still received the #1 choice as the Bears only victory in the 1969 season came over the Steelers.
