The unlikely convergence of a suddenly bright future and the Bears’ glorious past took the Bears100 Weekend Celebration in Rosemont to another level.
The energy and excitement was palpable as Hall of Famers, NFL championship heroes and former and current players joined Bears fans in reveling not only in the franchise’s magnificent history, but also the possibility of Super Bowl contention in 2019 and a sustained run of postseason success under general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy.
So on a weekend to celebrate the 1963 NFL championship team, 1985 Super Bowl team and all the Hall of Famers in Bears history, the story of the Khalil Mack acquisition last year was also compelling Sunday.
