The regular season is here, fans!
After months of free agency, the draft, minicamps, OTAs, training camp, meaningless preseason games, lists, rankings and predictions, the season is here.
First up the Bears will travel to Houston to play the Texans on Sunday.
The opener against the Texans marks the first time the team has opened on the road since 2009 when they started the campaign in Green Bay.
The streak of six straight years of opening at home ends. They last won a road opener in 2008 when they spoiled the opening of Lucas Oil Stadium for the Colts in a 29-13 win.
