The last time we witnessed the Chicago Bears playing in a meaningful game was January 6th, and it was one of the worst moments in Chicago sports history. A heartbreaking playoff loss is about as bad as it gets, but what made that one even worse was how often we had to hear about it since. Kicking off the 2019 season is the only real way to turn the page on that rough moment, and even then we’ll still get some references to it each week.
The best way for our fan-base to move past it is to see our favorite team win.
