Here it is folks, in the words of the immortal Keith Jackson, this it the “granddaddy of them all,” umm well in the preseason anyway. The third preseason game is the one that most analysts point to as the so-called “dress rehearsal” for the regular season.

The Bears have been fortunate in recent years to play a worthy adversary for this particular game. We all recall how that Seattle game in 2014 turned out. It was a game that portended what this team was to become that season, a glimpse into the crystal ball, if you will.
