The song was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1987 for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group, losing to " Kiss" by Prince. The 1985 Chicago Bears were the first sports team to have their own music video.

The Bears dominated their postseason opponents, including the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX 46–10. Billboard reported that the single's chart performance was propelled primarily by sales rather than radio airplay, saying, "Although the record has a great deal of pop airplay across the country, especially as a novelty for morning drive programs, only a handful of radio stations are reporting it on their playlists." "The Super Bowl Shuffle" fell in line with the Bears' high-media attention as they completed their one-loss regular season. "The Super Bowl Shuffle" instantly became a mainstream phenomenon, selling over 500,000 copies and reaching number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 by February 1986. The song peaked at number 41 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 1987. It was released in December 1985 on Chicago-based Red Label Records and distributed through Capitol Records two months ahead of their win in Super Bowl XX. " The Super Bowl Shuffle" is a song performed by the Chicago Bears football team (credited as the Chicago Bears Shufflin' Crew) in 1985.
