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.
