NFC North rivals square off to start the season in Week One as the Green Bay Packers visit the Chicago Bears Sunday at Soldier Field. Chicago will wear its alternate "Monsters of the Midway" uniforms for the occasion.
The Bears begin a new era under new coach John Fox, who comes over after four seasons with the Denver Broncos. Chicago is looking to turn things around after finishing last in the division last year at 5-and-11. Jay Cutler is back at quarterback, but wide receiver Brandon Marshall is now with the Jets. Green Bay has Super Bowl aspirations again after just falling short of the big game last season, losing the NFC championship to Seattle.
Aaron Rodgers leads the vaunted Packers' attack which will have to make up for the loss of star wide receiver Jordy Nelson to a season-ending injury in the preseason. Green Bay swept the season series from Chicago last year, outscoring the Bears 93-to-31.
Today's game can be heard on Newstalk 1060 with the Pre-Game Show at 11:30.
