The NFL loves the rivalry between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. It is the oldest rivalry in the league. Since the Packers entered the league in 1921, the teams have played every season except 1922 and 1982 (when the player's strike eliminated both games).
The Bears have started the season against Green Bay more than 60 times. Recently, the Bears have opened the season against the Packers three times since 2018, losing each time. In 2018 Kyle Fuller dropped a sure interception late in the fourth quarter. Rodger made them pay with a long TD pass in the final minute of the game. The following year the NFL opened the 100th season with the Bears hosting the Packers. Mitch Trubisky could not do anything against the Packers and the Bears fell 10-3.
Last year in what was supposed to be the Bears' coming out party, the defense made Lordan Love look like the second coming of Aaron Rodgers. The Bears were humiliated once again, falling to the Packers 38-20.
The Bears will not open the season against Green Bay
In what will be Caleb Williams first game as the Bears' starting quarterback, the Bears woun't have to face Green Bay. Although the schedule won't be released for another month, the league did announce yesterday the Packers will open the season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
