The 2019 NFL season is finally upon us, and it's kicking off in the most spectacular of ways. The Bears will begin their quest for a Super Bowl in front of a national television audience on Thursday night's season opener against the Green Bay Packers in what will showcase the sport's oldest rivalry in the league's 100th-anniversary season.
Yeah, get fired up.
There are plenty of reasons to be confident in the Bears this year. They field the NFL's most exciting defense and are bursting at the seams with talent on offense. QB Mitchell Trubisky has gone from a student of the offense to one of its teachers, and with that development off the field comes expectations that his play on the field will match.
